32 | Allegation: Foot care not provided. Based on the additional evidence received on 7-1-2022, on 11-15-2018, a documented conversation between R1's responsible person and S1 occurred. Based on this conversation, responsible person was attempting to have R1's toenails evaluated due to concern for in-grown toenail. Review of this evidence revealed R1 did not have a podiatry consult appointment arranged as of 11-15-2018. Furthermore, this evidence revealed that S1 was unable to assess further as only the nurse on duty had access to a list for residents to be seen by podiatrist. Evidence additionally indicates nurse was on leave at the time of this conversation between responsible person and S1 with no date of return given by S1. This conversation ultimately resulted in S1 stating R1 will be placed on podiatry list in December of 2018 with no date of when R1 will be seen.
On 11-19-2018 a documented conversation between R1's responsible person and S2. Based on LPA's review of this additional evidence, it was revealed that S2 was told of R1's "in grown toenails" by R1's responsible person, but S2 was unaware of R1's foot condition. Furthermore, S2 was unsure if R1 was placed on the list for podiatry visit within facility. Additionally, based on evidence provided, responsible party for R1 inquired about outside podiatry appointments and told by S2 that podiatrist is from bay area, and facility's driver doesn't go to bay area. Based on evidence reviewed, it is determined that facility knew or should have known of R1's foot condition and so informed responsible party for appropriate intervention.
Based on the evidence reviewed, citations are issued under Title 22, Division 6. Facility has since closed. A copy of this report was mailed to previous licensee with a request for return with signature. Appeal rights provided. |
