32 | LPA conducted R1’s records review. R1 was admitted on March 26, 2026, and moved out on April 6, 2026. According to the facility assessment dated March 31, 2026, R1 required maximum assistance with bathing, dressing, toileting, transferring, mobility, and special care needs, including assistance with glucose monitoring. However, because the relevant parties could not meet to finalize the details, R1’s formalized care plan was never executed. R1 was ultimately discharged from the facility before the care plan could be mutually agreed upon and signed.
Regarding the glucose monitoring, the facility received a physician's order for blood sugar checks on March 31, 2026. The facility’s Medication Administration Records (MAR) demonstrate that staff performed these glucose checks twice daily from March 31, 2026, through April 4, 2026. All logged readings during this period remained within normal range. R1’s glucose level reading at 395 mg/dL was not performed by the facility staff and was not documented. Therefore, LPA could not verify the reading. Furthermore, a review of R1’s progress notes spanning March 27, 2026, to April 3, 2026, revealed no documentation of R1 expressing pain or exhibiting any clinical symptoms associated with a UTI.
Based on records review, R1 did have UTI during their residency at the facility. However, the evidence found during the investigation did not meet the preponderance of evidence standard required to confirm staff neglect. Therefore, this allegation is unsubstantiated at this time.
It was alleged that staff did not obtain timely medical attention for resident. Information received indicated that Resident #1’s (R1) glucose level reached 395 mg/dL on April 4, 2026, and R1’s relevant party called 911 to transport R1 to emergency room.
