Facility did not meet the care needs of the resident - Complaint alleges that R1 was transported to the hospital because they were found on the floor and had not eaten in multiple days. Review of the Emergency Report indicated that resident was sent to hospital for "shortness of breath and 'looking not right'" and does not mention whether resident was found on the floor prior to transport nor does it mention resident not eating. Complaint also alleges that after leaving the hospital, resident was observed with raw skin speculating that resident was left in soiled garments. Review of emergency room report from resident's intake into hospital did not note skin breakdown.
Responsible party was not notified regarding resident's change of condition - Complaint alleges that resident's responsible party was not notified that resident was transported to the hospital and instead the hospital notified them. LPA was unable to confirm through file review whether resident's responsible party was notified.
Facility did not provide records upon request - Complaint alleges that facility did not provide records for resident, as requested. Complainant was unable to provide proof that records were requested in writing per regulation and request was not observed during file review.
A finding that the complaint allegations that resident was not given medication as prescribed, facility did not meet the care needs of the resident, responsible party was not notified regarding resident's change of condition, and facility did not provide records upon request was unsubstantiated meaning that although the allegation may have happened there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the allegation occurred. We have therefore dismissed the complaint.
