13 | LPA visited the facility on 5/28/2025 to deliver the findings of the complaint. LPA met with Administrator Cathy Dustin. Regarding allegation that facility staff did not ensure resident was hydrated resulting in hospitalization, through review of documentation it was learned that R1 had a history of urinary tract infections (UTI), and other medical conditions. There is no indication in the records that staff neglected or failed to keep R1
hydrated, fed, or mismanaged R1’s medications. Chart notes indicate staff were routinely offering R1 hydration. It is documented that on 7/24/2024, R1 refused to drink fluids, take medications, and refused to eat meals. Staff noticed the change in condition and contacted hospice and then sent R1 out to the hospital. R1 was hospitalized and diagnosed with failure to thrive.
Therefore, there is no proof that staff were not ensuring resident was hydrated. Allegation is UNFOUNDED. A finding of unfounded means that the allegation is false, could not have happened, and/or is without a reasonable basis.
