13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Stephanie Torres, conducted an unannounced visit to the facility to start the investigation into the above allegations. The LPA met with Babette Gardner, Assistant Administrator, and informed her of the purpose of her visit.
The investigation included staff interviews, records review, and record collection of relevant documentation.
Regarding the allegation, "Resident sustained pressure injury while in care," it was alleged Resident One (R1) developed a sore and other injuries due to not being repositioned regularly. A Physician's Report for Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFE) revealed R1 had a motor impairment/paralysis and was considered non-ambulatory. Staff reported R1 did require assistance to reposition and the assistance was provided throughout the day. Staff interviews revealed R1 did develop discoloration to their buttock around March 07, 2023. An interview could not be conducted with R1 due to the resident passing away on March 07, 2023. Therefore, due to insufficient information, this allegation is deemed UNSUBSTANTIATED at this time. |
