13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kontilis conducted a subsequent complaint visit to issue final findings for the complaint allegations above. LPA met with Jovany Guerra, Senior Resident Care Director and explained the purpose of the visit. During the investigation, LPA reviewed relevant documents, and conducted interviews with responsible parties on 9/16/2021 and 10/4/2021, and staff on 12/18/2023.
On the allegation: Staff did not prevent inappropriate behavior between residents. It was alleged that Resident 1 (R1) entered another resident’s room and pushed the resident, causing them to fall. R1’s responsible party admitted during interview that they found R1 to have short incidents of 5-10 minutes where they would be aggressive and combative and the behavior could come on suddenly, and they resolved quickly as well. R1’s responsible party stated on one occasion, the facility called 9-1-1 but the paramedics did not want to take R1 to the hospital, since they did not meet emergency room criteria. R1’s responsible party stated they interpreted from this that R1’s incidents are very spontaneous, and R1 reverts quickly back to their usual self, compoed and docile. R1’s responsible party confirmed these incidents all happened

32 | in the first two weeks that R1 moved into the facility. R1’s responsible party also stated that R1 had “outbursts” and “you never knew they were going to happen, they just seem to happen.” Administrator recommended a psychiatric hospital for R1 due to their unusual and sporadic behaviors, or a one-on-one staff. Facility nurse stated they tried many different interventions with R1 including contacting R1’s physician and holding care conferences to discuss changing needs. R1 had a one-on-one staff after the need was identified. Based on the information obtained, R1’s behaviors were not due to a lack of supervision, and additional supervision was provided once the need was identified. Therefore the allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time.
On the allegation: Staff did not encourage resident's involvement in group activities while their one-on-one caregiver was present. It was alleged that when R1’s one-on-one private caregiver was present, staff would not involve R1 in group activities. Interview with R1’s visitor revealed that it appeared R1 got less attention from facility staff due to having a one-on-one caregiver present. Staff interviews revealed that all residents are encouraged to participate in activities, regardless of whether they have a one-on-one caregiver. Staff stated sometimes if residents are having behaviors or being disruptive, staff will redirect them and engage them one-on-one until the behaviors suppress. Staff stated even if they do not have a private one-of-one, sometimes an activity person works with them one-on-one. Staff stated they have an activities calendar posted and caregivers are assigned certain residents, which includes going to their rooms and encouraging them to participate in activities. Staff stated they do not encourage residents to be isolated in their rooms and encourage residents to participate every day. During visits to the facility, LPA observed residents participating in activities. Due to insufficient evidence to prove the allegation, the allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time.
On the allegation: Facility did not notify of Resident's change of condition. It was alleged that the facility notified R1’s doctor of incidents but did not notify R1’s responsible party. R1’s responsible party indicated the facility contacted R1’s physician to see if additional medications were appropriate, without first notifying the responsible party of the incident. R1’s responsible party learned of the incident from the physician contacting them. LPA reviewed incident reports for R1 dated 6/13/2021 and 6/17/2021, which both indicated R1’s responsible party was notified as well as physician and a care conference and medical evaluation would be scheduled. Both the responsible party and physician were contacted timely; therefore the allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time.
