25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Michael Hood met with Administrator, Yas Patawaran, to conduct a case management visit. During an investigation conducted by the Department, the following information was discovered:
Interview with Administrator conducted by the Department on 6/22/2022 and review of resident (R1’s) supportive care records indicated that R1 was bedbound and not receiving hospice services. Interviews with staff members S1 and S3 conducted by the Department on 6/22/2022 indicated that R1 has been bedbound since they were admitted to the facility. Interviews also indicated that R1 was receiving assistance with rotation in bed every 2 hours. Interviews with residents R3 and R5 conducted by the Department on 6/22/2022 indicated that both residents are in bed most if not all day and receive assistance with repositioning in bed by staff.
LPA conducted a records review of resident files for residents R1, R3, R4, and R5. LPA observed that R3 was admitted to hospice services on 9/28/2022 (prior to interview conducted by the Department on 6/22/2022). Observations of both LIC 602s for R1 (dated 1/26/2022) and R3 (dated 7/8/2021) indicated that both non-ambulatory and bedridden were marked, with bedridden crossed out and no initials from a physician. R1’s file did not indicate that R1 was receiving hospice services.
LIC 602 defines bedridden as “a person who requires assistance with turning or repositioning in bed.” Interviews with staff members S1 and S2 indicated that residents R3, R4, and R5 were bedbound, in bed most if not all day 7 days a week, and received assistance with turning and repositioning in bed. According to records reviewed of resident files, only R3 and R5 were admitted to hospice (R3 on 9/28/2022 and R5 on 9/7/2022). R5 was admitted to the facility on 3/1/2022 and has a pre-placement appraisal stating that R5 is “mostly bedbound.”
