25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Sabrina Calzada arrived unannounced to conduct a case management inspection related to an incident reported to the Department on 1/17/24 at 7:27 pm. LPA met with Kylie Whitaker, Administrator, Julia Wihl, Business Office Manager (BOM), and Jasmine Juchniewicz, Health and Services Director, and explained purpose of the inspection.
LPA discussed the incident occurring in the early hours of 1/17/24 involving resident (R1) having an unwitnessed fall and being sent to the emergency room. (R1) was sent out immediately following the fall and admitted for a left hip fracture and received surgery in the hospital later that day. The Administrator indicated that (R1) was a new resident and considered a fall risk, like most residents. (R1) had a bed alarm on his bed purchased by his family, but the bed alarm was somewhat faulty.
Staff reported (R1) fell in the bathroom and they were alerted when they heard (R1) fall. Administrator stated (R1) is provided hourly assistance with toileting needs and was recently attended to just prior to the fall. The Administrator stated (R1's) family member indicated they will purchase a higher quality bed alarm for when (R1) returns to the community after receiving rehabilitation services at a skilled nursing facility. An incident report will be submitted to the Department by 1/24/24.
The Administrator also mentioned another resident (R2) who was recently admitted to the community and has been placed on hospice after contracting Covid with a diagnosis of Post Covid Syndrome. (R2) contracted Covid at a skilled nursing facility prior to returning to the facility. A hospice notification was submitted within (5) days of (R2) starting hospice services.
There are no deficiencies issued in this report.
