32 | The review of records shows on 01/18/2023, R1 sustained an unwitnessed fall and minor injury to the head. 911 was called but family refused to send R1 to the hospital as they felt it was not necessary. On 01/19/2023, a Nurse Practitioner evaluated R1 and encouraged R1 to be sent to the hospital for evaluation, however, R1’s family refused as they did not think it was necessary. Facility staff continued to monitor the resident. On 01/20/2023, it was noted that the Executive Director (ED) informed R1’s representatives of the facility’s responsibility to ensure R1’s safety after the fall by requiring a one-to-one companion during the night. The night of 01/20/2023, one-to-one companion was endorsed.
The review of R1’s January 2023 invoice did not indicate a service for a one-to-one companion was charged.
Based on interview on 02/01/2023, the ED stated R1 was not billed for the one-to-one companion due to R1’s departure from the facility on 01/28/2023.
The Department has investigated the above allegation. Based on interview, record review and observation the Department has determined that the above allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. An unsubstantiated finding indicates that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur.
No deficiencies were cited per California Code of Regulations, Title 22. This report was reviewed with Interim Executive Director, Becca Black and a copy of the report was provided. |
