32 | Allegation: Facility staff neglect resulting in wound deterioration
During the course of the investigation, interviews were conducted as well as records reviewed. Interviews indicated that R1 was transferred from a Skilled Nursing Facility with a pressure injury near their lower back. S1 and F1 both confirmed R1 was receiving care from a home health agency that lacked communication. With the help of the facility, R1 transferred to a new home health agency that is able to provide the necessary care needed for R1. R1 confirmed their health has improved while at the facility and has no problems with the care they are currently receiving from the facility or home health.
