Regarding the allegation resident's medical needs are not being met, it was advised that the resident receives Hospice services and is seen by a Hospice Nurse several times a week. Additionally, it was advised that R1 is on Hospice with West Coast Hospice and the attending physician is responsible for seeing the resident. The information obtained from staff interviews does not corroborate the listed allegation.
Additional information obtained from the record reviews demonstrated that the resident is receiving medical attention two to three times a week or as needed. It was advised that the Hospice nurse and the physician have being seeing to the residents’ medical needs. The evidence received does not support the allegation.
