25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Stephanie Torres, contacted the facility via telephone to commence a case management televisit due to COVID-19. The LPA identified herself and discussed the purpose of the call with Executive Director (ED), Alexis Perez.
The Department received an Unusual Incident Report (UIR) on July 20, 2020 pertaining to Resident One (R1). The UIR detailed the attempted suicide of R1 on July 18, 2020 at approximately 5:54 PM. The report details staff observing a chair and other items used to block the resident's apartment door. The report mentions staff finding R1 to be sitting on, with their legs hanging over, the ledge of the balcony. The report notes the resident had a knife and rope nearby.
On this visit the LPA conducted staff interviews and, accompanied by Perez, toured the previous and current bedrooms of R1. According to Perez, the resident had no history of self harm or suicidal behavior and the resident's medical assessment noted no diagnosis or early signs of cognitive disease. Perez reported R1's primary physician was contacted on July 18, 2020 and consultation provided by the physician was received and action taken. Perez reported discussion with R1's responsible party on obtaining an updated medical assessment would be conducted, along with an updated Written Record of Care. The LPA will review reports received from the facility and follow-up if necessary. No health and safety concerns were observed on this televisit.
An exit interview was conducted with ED Perez via telephone and a copy of this report was provided to Perez via email. Report with facility representative signature was obtained. |
