25 | LPA Michael Bilger arrived at facility on 5-14-21 at 9:15am to conduct a case management visit due to recent incident report received on 4-20-21 regarding a fall episode. LPA met with Karon Mills, Administrator (ADM) and informed her of the purpose of the visit. According to incident report dated 4-17-21, R1 sustained a fall and a bruise to the forehead. A record review of R1 was conducted. An interview with Administrator and Staff 1 (S1) was also conducted. LPA requested and received the following documentation from ADM: 9-1-1 protocol, incidental medical and dental plan of care, April staff scheduling for AL unit, Nurse coverage schedule for April, care notes for 4-17-21 and 4-18-21, and Nursing communication notes to Physician on 4-17-21 and 4-18-21. Based on interviews and record reviews, 9-1-1 was not notified after resident fell and sustained a bruise to the forehead. Per Medical Emergency policy of the facility furnished by Administrator 9-1-1 is to be called when “resident exhibits signs and symptoms of distress and/or emergency condition.….examples include: (d) Fall with deformity, severe pain, or head injury.” Administrator stated that 9-1-1 should be called when a resident falls and hits his/her head.
During today’s case management visit LPA also reviewed care notes for R1 which included a note that read on 5-1-21 at 1:13pm “no meds given today” due to unpaid pharmacy balance by responsible person. Upon further record review of R1’s MAR it was determined that resident did not receive medications from the period of 5-1-21 to 5-4-21.
Based on today’s visit, deficiencies were cited under Title 22 regulations, Division 8. A copy of this report and appeal rights were left with Karon.
