32 | About two hours had passed and I1 had not arrived at the facility to transfer R1. Facility staff followed up with I1 to see when she would get to the facility. I1 stated she would transport R1 to the hospital the following day. On 5/9/2020, I1 arrived at the facility, dropped off medications, then left without R1. Facility staff never called EMT, and R1 was transported to the hospital by ambulance on 5/10/2020, by the request of R1’s stepdaughter, identified as I2. The facility failed to follow their own policy resulting in R1 remaining at the facility for two more days with a broken hip after R1's unwitnessed fall. Per Sutter hospital, R1 was diagnosed with a broken hip on 5/10/2020 and passed away on 5/12/2020, due to Cardiac Arrest, Sepsis, Community Acquired Pneumonia, Failure to Thrive, Dementia.
