13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Stephanie Williams contacted the facility to deliver findings for the allegation listed above via telephone due to the COVID-19 pandemic. LPA spoke with Resident Service Director, Shannon Gordon, and explained the purpose of today's call.
The department investigation included file review, interviews with staff/residents/witnesses, and collecting pertinent documentation and records. Based on evidence collected during the investigation, Resident #1 (R1) experienced a fall. R1's medical records were obtained and reviewed; they did not indicate that R1's fall was a result of neglect by the facility. Department staff interviewed Staff #1 (S1) who indicated that they observed R1 “throwing” themselves out of the wheelchair and onto the floor, which resulted in the fractures.
This agency has investigated the complaint alleging that R1 sustained multiple fractures while in care. We have found that the complaint was UNFOUNDED, meaning that the allegation was false, could not have happened and/or is without a reasonable basis. We have therefore dismissed the complaint. |
