13 | On August 13, 2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Komal Charitra conducted an unannounced complaint visit to deliver the findings for the above allegation. LPA met with Dietary Supervisor, Francis Macahilas and explained the purpose of the visit.
Regarding the allegation, staff did seek timely medical care for resident, according to the reporting party, the facility failed to call the after-hour supportive care service during the weekend to report Resident 1's (R1's) symptoms, but rather faxed 3 reports to the physician's office (fax reports were not provided when requested by LPA) that is only open during regular business hours. In addition, the reporting party indicated on June 30, 2025, chest x-rays were ordered for R1, however on July 1, 2025, it was indicated by the third party radiology company that on 6/30/25 in the evening, the technician went out to do the x-ray but was told by facility staff that there is no resident by R1's name so the technician left and R1 didn't get his/her x-ray which caused a delay in treatment and potential complications and poor outcomes.
During the investigation, LPA reviewed staff schedule, interviewed administrator, staff, reviewed documents and interviewed the third party radiology company. (continue to 9099C) |
