Records revealed resident complained of shortness of breath and dizziness and was taken to the Emergency Room the same day. Records show normal range of mobility at time of hospital admittance. Medical records showed resident did have a contusion, which the physician noted could have been caused from a mechanical fall while ambulating with walker. Interviews conducted revealed resident made no complaints of falling.
Upon discharge, facility was notified of changes to resident’s current health conditions. Records revealed facility requested physicians orders in order to accept the resident. Once received, facility contacted responsible party informing resident approval to return. At that time, responsible party moved the resident into an alternative location.
Interviews conducted confirm visitors were allowed in designated area. Due to Covid, visitors could have been denied visitation as guidance from the Governor may have instructed facilities to refrain from allowing visitors to enter the facilities.
Based on information provided through interviews and documentation, it was unclear the resident sustained a fracture while in care, the facility staff did not seek medical attention in a timely manner, the facility staff did not accept resident back from a hospital stay, and the facility staff did not allow resident to have visitors. Therefore, the allegations are deemed UNSUBSTANTIATED, meaning that there was not a preponderance of evidence to prove or disprove that the allegation occurred as reported.
No deficiencies cited. An exit interview was conducted with Administrator Marie Arbios. A copy of this report will be provided to the AD via email.
