13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Stephanie Torres, conducted an unannounced visit to the facility to deliver the findings of the investigation into the above allegation. The LPA met with Kurt Niebres, Administrator, and informed him of the purpose of the visit.
An allegation was received by the Department alleging facility staff failed to appropriately supervise Resident One (R1) leading to multiple falls. The investigation included interviews with staff, residents, and third parties; records review and records collection. R1 was interviewed and reported they had no knowledge of falling frequently while at the facility. R1 did report being found on the floor by staff and sustaining bruises to their arms and legs. Staff interviews revealed R1 would be found on the floor multiple times a week. Third party interviews revealed facility staff did contact the office of R1's primary care physician on 03/01/2022, 02/20/2022, 02/02/2022, and 01/29/2022 to report frequent falls. Staff interviews revealed staff would check on R1 more frequently due to observed falls. However, no documentation of falls or of staff observations of R1 were found on file at the facility. Therefore, due to insufficient information, this allegation is deemed UNSUBSTANTIATED at this time. This report was reviewed with Niebres and a copy was provided. |
