32 | about the wound until hospice care began on 6/2/20. The third allegation indicates that due to neglect/lack of care and supervision R1 sustained a fractured wrist while in care. During the investigation, the Department did not obtain evidence to substantiate neglect/lack of care and supervision. Facility staff was present in the room when R1 fell. R1 was standing and stable with the walker when staff turned to write in R1’s chart. Staff did not anticipate R1 falling. The fall was not due to neglect by staff. The fourth allegation indicates that R1 fell because staff failed to properly supervise them. During the investigation, the Department did not obtain evidence to substantiate neglect/lack of care and supervision. Staff was present when R1 fell. R1 was not left unattended. R1 was stable and standing with assistance with his/her walker when staff stepped away to enter notes on R1’s chart. Staff did not anticipate R1 falling.
Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are unsubstantiated at this time.
No deficiencies were cited during this visit. An exit interview was conducted where this report was discussed and provided to the Executive Director. |
