13 | On 9/30/2021, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Murial Han and Komal Charitra conducted an unannounced inspection to deliver the investigation findings. LPA Han and LPA Charitra was properly screen by the entrance. LPAs met with the caregiver, Miraflor Ferrer and explained the purpose of today's visit.
Regarding the allegation, resident sustained fracture while in care, LPA Han's investigation included interviewed staff, reviewed records and conducted observation. The staff members denied of sustaining any injuries while caring for Resident 1 (R1) that could have caused the fracture and they also reported that R1 did not sustain any falls. In addition, the staff stated that R1 is a dependent resident and required 2-person's assistance with the Activities of Daily Living which was observed by LPA Han during the visit that R1 was being cared for by 2 staff members.
The hospital's medical record did not indicated the cause of the injury and there is no information forthcoming from the resident. Therefore, this allegation is unsubstantiated as there is no evidence that the injury was sustained during care. However, during the course of the investigation, LPA observed that staff noted the change of R1's health condition but it was not reported until 48 hours later. This deficiency will be cited on LIC809D.
