25 | On 7-25-24 at 3:30pm, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Michael Bilger arrived unannounced to conduct a case management visit regarding staffing levels and fall precautions. LPA met with Administrator Ashley Sylve and explained the purpose of the visit. LPA reviewed investigative information from complaint #27-AS-20240424094125 including but not limited to: Staff interviews, previous incident reports, care plans and assessments pertaining to resident1 (R1). Based on the above information, it was determined that R1 required total assistance in multiple activity of daily living (ADL) categories including 2-person transfer assistance. Record reviews revealed that R1 sustained a total of 23 unwitnessed falls between 3/11/2023 and 4/14/2024. Interviews also revealed that facility’s fall prevention protocols include utilizing mats on the floor and a one-to-one sitter as necessary, however, evidence did not exist to conclude these interventions were put in place as part of R1’s fall prevention plan. Additionally, it was determined that facility used an outside paramedic service to assist lift assistance for R1 multiple times throughout R1’s residency. Interviews further revealed that R1 required one to one care assistance to aid in fall prevention.
As a result of today’s case management, citations are issued under Title 22, Division 6 and noted on LIC 809D. An exit interview was conducted with Ashley Sylve and a copy of this report was provided to Ashley. Appeal rights provided. LIC 811 provided.
