13 | Enforcement Analyst (EA), Joshua Rarela, with the Home Care Services Branch (HCSB) conducted a follow-up onsite inspection for the purpose of delivering the findings of a Complaint Investigation. The EA met with the HCO representative named above and discussed the allegation.
It was alleged that the HCO failed to provide services as contracted when a client was allegedly left unattended or without care periodically during the service duration. During the course of the investigation, EA conducted interviews and reviewed records including but not limited to client care and services agreement, client emergency information package and caregiver response time data from a client assistance call button device. The HCO denied the allegation of neglecting the care and service or failing to provide a contracted service at any point in time during the brief contract period of eight days with a previous client. The caregiver response time data taken from the call button device used by the client could not corroborate that the client was left unattended or without service from the HCO.
