32 | Allegation(s): Facility staff failed to provide supervision which resulted in falls, Staff did not inform the authorized representative that resident fell
The complaint alleged resident (R1) occurred multiple falls while in care and the facility did not notify R1's representative. On 06/10/2021 LPA reviewed R1's records which indicate R1 "is at risk of falling and requires staff observation to promote safety." Facility records show R1 was sent to the hospital on 04/09/2021 and seen by the paramedics on 04/12/2021 due to a fall. On 06/09/2021, LPA interviewed Memory Care Director who confirmed R1 fell twice in the facility and was sent out to the hospital on 04/09/2021. Facility FAX reports dated 04/09/2021 and sent to R1's physician indicate R1's representative was notified. LPA interviewed Administrator on 05/26/2021 who stated R1's last fall was 04/12/2021 and R1 was seen by the paramedics. Administrator stated the facility notified R1's representative the day of the incident. On 05/26/2021 LPA requested incident reports to review for R1, however, the facility could not provide reports. LPA checked Community Care Licensing (CCL) electronic files and did not find any incident reports for R1. On 06/16/2021 LPA spoke with outside agency, Your Home Assistant who provided one-on-one companionship for R1 during May 2021. LPA was unable to interview care companion due to personal reasons, however LPA was able to retrieve and review care notes for R1. Care notes from Your Home Assistant indicate R1 fell once on 05/11/2021 and was seen by the facility med tech. No further evidence was provided.
LPA finds the allegations listed above to be UNSUBSTANTIATED, meaning that although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred, and the findings are unsubstantiated.
An exit interview was conducted, copy of report and appeal rights provided. |
