13 | Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Deborah Mullen and Jesse Gardner conducted an unannounced visit to deliver the findings of the above allegation. LPA met with Patrick Gonzalez, Caregiver. The investigation included interviews with Licensee, hospice nurse and a review of resident 1’s (R1s) hospice records.
The allegation states resident sustained multiple pressure injuries while in care. Licensee was interviewed and denied the allegation that R1 sustained pressure injuries while in care. Licensee stated R1 was in placement at her facility from 2/21/21 to 2/26/21 and then again on 4/27/21 to 5/12/21. During the time of 2/26/21 through 5/12/21, while not living at the facility, R1 was admitted to the hospital and then went into a rehabilitation facility. Licensee stated on 4/27/21 R1 returned to the facility with several pressure wounds. The Licensee stated R1 was receiving hospice care weekly and that hospice nurses were providing wound care. LPA interviewed the hospice agency nurse who completed R1’s intake assessment on 4/28/21. The hospice agency nurse confirmed that R1 was placed at the facility with pressure wounds. The nurse also provided assessment intake documentation.
Therefore, this agency has investigated the complaint alleging resident sustained multiple pressure injuries while in care. We have found that the complaint was unfounded, meaning that the allegation were false, could not have happened and/or is without a reasonable basis. We have therefore dismissed the complaint. An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of this report was reviewed with and provided to Patrick Gonzalez, Caregiver.
