32 | Per R1’s medical records dated 10/10/22, R1 was prescribed a psychotropic medication which improved R1’s agitation and a discharge plan was created for a long term memory care facility. LPA reviewed R1’s ALW assessment dated 09/27/22 which states that R1 is eligible for ALW at an assisted living facility and that the assessment was made by a registered nurse. Per AD, R1 was admitted to the facility on 10/10/22 and was sometimes agitated and aggressive, but not more so than other residents with dementia. The facility asked R1’s family to make a doctor’s appointment to reassess the medications to see if additional improvement could be achieved, but R1’s family did not understand the need and did not make the appointment. LPA interviewed S1 who corroborated AD’s statements. S1 also stated that R1 always took their medications, that R1’s level of agitation fluctuated, and that on 10/31/22 S1 sent R1’s doctor a description of R1’s agitation, a list of R1’s medications, and requested a reevaluation of R1’s medications, but neither S1 nor the facility heard back. At the time of the incident R1 had been at the facility for about 1 month and AD stated that R1’s behavior was unexpected based on their previous behavior.
Facility representative was advised that at this time further investigation may be required. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report was discussed with and provided to facility representative. |
