On April 18, 2022 at 11:00am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Chris Hopkins conducted an unannounced facility visit in regards to a complaint investigation with the above allegations. LPA met with Administrator Marybel Caro and explained the purpose of today's visit.

Regarding the allegation of Staff did not notice residents change in condition, the Department found the following: based on interview and record review, it was determined that staff noticed Resident 1 (R1) was not looking like his/her self during their routine check of R1. Staff immediately called the Director of Resident Services, who then called Emergency Medical Services (EMS), who transferred R1 to the hospital.

Regarding the allegation of Staff did not ensure resident's oxygen was on at all times, the Department found the following: based on interview, it was determined that R1's oxygen stayed on her face at all times. During one occasion staff had to give R1 a sponge bath and had to temporarily remove the oxygen to move the resident. Report continued on LIC9099-C...

The oxygen tube did roll under R1's bed wheel causing it to get "crimped" and not flow. Staff did not notice the long tube "crimped" under the bed during the time of R1 getting a sponge bath, but minutes later R1's visitor notified staff and staff immediately fixed the tubing. Staff stated that R1 always had oxygen on, and staff knew to put/keep oxygen on R1.

Regarding the allegation of Staff did not follow Physician's orders for oxygen, the Department found the following: based on interview and record review, it was determined that staff were able to remove oxygen to perform the nebulizer treatment. In doing the nebulizer treatment staff had the option of removing the oxygen or leaving it on. Per R1's physician, he stated that while doing nebulizer treatment it doesn't matter if oxygen is on or off, either way is ok. This was the only time the oxygen was off, even though the physician order stated oxygen at all times, R1's physician stated it was ok to remove oxygen during the nebulizer treatment.

LPA has deemed the three allegations mentioned above as UNSUBSTANTIATED. Although the allegations may have happened and/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.

Exit interview conducted with Administrator Marybel Caro. A copy of this report was left with Administrator upon exit.
