13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Stephanie Martinez, conducted an unannounced visit to the facility to deliver the findings of the investigation into the above allegation. The LPA met with Wellness Director, Tammy Chavez, and informed her of the purpose for her visit.
Regarding the allegation, "Staff did not seek timely medical attention for resident in care", it was alleged facility staff did not contact emergency medical services for Resident One (R1) when the resident had been found on the ground on or around March 27, 2022. The investigation included staff and third party interviews, records review and records collection. A third party witness and staff interview reported R1 was discovered on the floor of their bedroom on or around March 01, 2023. Interviews reported R1 was later transported to a local hospital. Interviews did not indicate whether or not facility staff refused to contact emergency medical services. Therefore, due to insufficient information, this allegation is deemed UNSUBSTANTIATED at this time. A finding that the complaint is unsubstantiated means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove the alleged violation occurred. This report was reviewed with Chavez and a copy was provided. |
