25 | Licensing Program Analsyt (LPA) Crystal Colvin was at the facility conducting an investigation on a complaint (#18-AS-20220706102318) when LPA Colvin observed the following items which were addressed:
- Reporting Requirements: LPA Colvin learned through record review and interviewed that one resident (R1) was physically violent to multiple residents on numerous dates. R1 punched, kicked, and spat at different residents, all of which was documented in R1's progress notes, but was not reported to Licensing. This behavior was a safety risk and personal rights violation to each resident, and had Licensing been made aware of the ongoing situation, Licensing could have reached out to assist and inquire about the issues with R1 and aided the facility in recommendations for response. Deficiency cited.
- Record Keeping: In addition to not reporting these incidents to Licensing, the facility staff failed to note in the multiple victims files of the abuse/violence, and therefore, this information was not relayed to the rest of the care staff, and was likely not reported the residents' responsible parties. Deficiency cited.
- Re-Assessment of Resident(s): R1 was observed to have a marked change in behavior, which was communicated to R1's doctor and Public Guardian, however, the facility failed to conduct an updated assessment of R1 to determine if R1 was still appropriate for their facility. Deficiency cited.
- Camouflaging of Medication: During LPA Colvin's investigation, LPA Colvin learned that R1 was refusing to take their medication as they "thought it was poison". This resulted in care staff camouflaging R1's medication in their morning juice. LPA Colvin clarified whether or not this was done with R1's knowledge, and it was confirmed that it was done without R1's knowledge and for the express purpose of tricking R1 into taking their medication. Deficiency cited.
