13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Ruth Wallace contacted the facility via telephone to provide complaint investigation finding via telephone due to COVID-19 and pre-cautionary measures. LPA identified herself and discussed with Administrator (AD) Kelsy Ramos the purpose of the call which was to deliver finding for the allegation that Facility failed to report incident.
The initial 10-Day visit was conducted on March 24, 2020. LPA Wallace reviewed R1's Admission’s Agreement, Physician's Report, Needs and Services Plan, Medical Records, and Incident Report requested by Administrator at facility. Resident (R1) sustained an injury as a result from R1 getting out of wheelchair and falling onto the bedroom floor.
Right after the fall of R1, staff called 911, Hospice Care, Administrator, and wife of R1. R1 was transported to hospital by ambulance and admitted into the hospital on March 6, 2020. It was determined after x-rays were taken that R1 had a left broken femur, fractured in several places.
Facility reported to Community Care Licensing with a detailed Incident Report according to our Regulations. Based on the documentation there was not a preponderance of evidence that the event occurred, therefore the allegation was deemed UNFOUNDED. This agency has investigated the allegation noted above. The complaint allegation was unfounded, meaning that the allegation was false, could not have happened and/or is without a reasonable basis. The Department therefore has dismissed the allegation.
An exit interview was conducted with AD Ramos. A copy of this report was provided via email with read receipt along with a Confidential Names list, and Appeal Rights. AD Ramos will sign and send back to LPA via email.
