13 | On 11/22/2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Renee Campbell arrived unannounced to the facility to complete an investigation and present the findings. LPA Campbell met with Administrator Andrea Armstrong and stated the purpose of the visit.
Regarding the allegation that staff did not meet residents’ dietary needs, LPA Campbell reviewed R1’s physician’s report and observed that his dietary needs were listed as mechanical soft. When interviewed, S2 verified that staff told the kitchen about residents with special dietary needs daily. When interviewed, S3 and S4 stated that they had observed that R1's food was chopped or pureed.
Regarding the allegation that staff do not report incidents to appropriate parties, specifically, that the family was not notified of R1's falls, LPA Campbell observed 16 charting notes and 20 internal incident reports. All but three reported incidents involved notification of R1's POA. However, per the admission agreement, it is not required that the POA or emergency contact be notified of every fall that occurs.
Therefore, the following allegation was found to be UNSUBSTANTIATED Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8, no deficiencies cited. An exit interview was conducted, copy of report provided. |
