13 | Licensing Program Analyst Becky Kennedy concluded the investigation which began on 3/16/2021. LPA Kennedy made an unannounced visit to the above facility today and was greeted by Karen Pultorak, Program Director. LPA advised Program DSirector Pultorak of the reason for today's visit and delivered the investigation findings on the above allegation.
Investigation consisted of interviews with residents, staff, outside sources, record review, and tour of the interior and exterior facility. It was alleged that a lack of supervision resulted Resident 1 (R1) falling and sustaining a fracture.
Investigation revealed, through records review, interviews with facility and hospital staff, and R1, that R1 was found on their bedroom floor on 12-31-20. R1 sustained a femoral neck fracture.
Prior to the 12-31-20 incident, falling was concern for R1. Although R1 was able to get from their bed to the bathroom with the aid of a walker, to insure R1’s safety, R1 was supposed to use the call button so care staff could assist R1. On the night of R1’s fall, R1 did not call for assistance. R1 reported that they “fell out of bed.” |
