13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Michelle Reed arrived at the facility to deliver the findings for the above complaint allegations. Upon arrival, LPA met with Phat Nguyen. The investigation consisted of interviews with Administrators Kathleen Olson and Brianna Boyd, staff, and witnesses as well as documentation from the facility. The following was determined:
R1 was admitted into the facility on 2/15/21. According to records reviewed, R1 needed assistance with ADL’s, was non-ambulatory and a fall risk due to diagnosis. R1 was non-ambulatory and used a wheelchair for mobility. R1 could not leave the facility unassisted and needed assistance with transfers to his wheelchair. Records and interviews further disclosed that R1 had approximately 15 unwitnessed falls from 3/4/21 to 4/16/21. R1 also left the facility at least 6 times without staff knowledge. R1 was returned by staff, good Samaritans or law enforcement. R1’s doctor and family were made aware of R1’s falls and eloping behavior. R1 was issued an eviction notice on 4/16/22 and moved from the facility on 4/28/21.
Based upon interviews and a review of records this allegation is unsubstantiated, meaning that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report and appeal rights were provided to Phat Nguyen.
