This visit was conducted by telephone in lieu of a physical visit due to the current COVID-19 precautions. LPA spoke with the facility administrator Sherry Richardson and explained the purpose of the visit.
On 08/12/2020, the facility submitted an incident report and an SOC 341 reporting on 08/09/2020, Medication Aide #1(MA #1) reported that Resident #1 (R1) had vomited black liquid incident @~12:50 AM. Per report, MA #1 stated to clean R1 and asked whether R1 wanted to go to the ER. Per report, MA #1 reported that R1 declined. The report stated that @4:35 AM R1 was checked and discovered that he was unresponsive and 9-1-1 was contacted.
Based on interviews and records reviewed, the Department has determined that there is sufficient evidence that the staff at Sky Park Gardens did not call 9-1-1 at the onset of R1’s medical distress. Interviews learned that MA#1 admitted that she did not follow the facility policy by ensuring hourly checks of R1.
