13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Crystal Colvin arrived at the facility unannounced for the purpose of delivering findings on the complaint with the above allegation. LPA Colvin met with Administrator John Reade and advised them of the purpose of today's visit. Below is a summary of the findings discussed:
Regarding allegation "Staff caused injury to resident": Department staff conducted interviews with staff and reviewed facility file and hospice paperwork for Resident #1 (R1). Record review and interviews revealed that R1 requires maximum assistance with all activities of daily living (ADLs), which includes assistance with transferring. Hospice records show only a bruise to R1’s arm, first observed on October 2, 2020. LPA Colvin additionally verified that R1 was taking prescribed blood thinning medication twice daily, which according to hospice notes, could potentially cause the resident to bruise more easily. LPA Colvin was unable to interview R1 due to R1 passing away while the investigation was still open. There is insufficient evidence to support the claim of physical abuse, and therefore, the allegation “Staff caused injury to resident” is UNSUBSTANTIATED. . |
