13 | LPA Hiratsuka, conducted this unannounced complaint visit to deliver the findings into the allegation above.
LPA interviewed staff, witnesses, and reviewed hospice medical and facility records. Per the hospice medical records, the facility staff contacted them on a regular basis about changes in the resident’s condition. The records also describe what the staff were seeking assistance with hospice. Facility records show staff did contact hospice but did not go into as much detail as the hospice records, but contact dates match. There was one particular incident where the resident had a lot of agitation and both records show the facility staff spoke to the hospice agency several times and the hospice agency sent a nurse to the facility to evaluate the resident and assist the facility staff with the resident’s care.
“This agency has investigated the complaint alleging; Facility staff did not seek medical attention in a timely manner. We have found that the complaint was unfounded, meaning that the allegation was false, could not have happened and/or is without a reasonable basis." |
