Allegation- Resident sustained multiple unwitnessed falls due to staff neglect
Based on documentation, between 03/12/2024 and 01/14/2025, R1 sustained nine unwitnessed falls in R1’s bedroom and one witnessed fall in the common area. Based on interviews, neither R1’s responsible party, or facility staff recommended a change in R1’s care plan or provided R1 with some type of ambulatory aid to possibly prevent R1 from falling. R1’s responsible party provided R1 a portable bed rail; however, R1 would remove the rail from the bed. Additionally, interviews revealed that neither R1’s responsible party nor facility staff recommended the use of an ambulatory aid because R1 would have “refused” to use it. Summerfield of Roseville has four neighborhoods on the premises: Garden, Tuscan, Apple, and Seaside. Seaside is a neighborhood for residents who need a higher level of care. Facility staff explained the residents living in Seaside can be considered fall-risks, may be wheelchair bound or receiving hospice services and require two-staff assistance. It was not recommended by facility staff that R1 move into this neighborhood for the higher level of care and supervision until 01/15/2025. Based on the findings, staff were neglectful in preventing R1 from sustaining falls while in care, therefore, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, this allegation of Neglect/Lack of Care and Supervision is SUBSTANTIATED. Per California Code of Regulations, Title 22 Division 6, Chapter 8, a deficiency is being cited on the attached 9099-D page.
Exit interview conducted. Appeal rights provided. Report left with facility staff. |
