Information gathered revealed that R1 had limited mobility, limited verbal abilities, and had a diagnosis of dementia. R1 had a motion alarm, which triggered when R1 got out of bed. In addition, R1 had a metal pole affixed to the ceiling and the floor next to R1’s bed. The pole was installed in 2010 by R1’s Physical Therapist and was approved by CCL to assist R1 in getting in and out of bed. Interviews revealed facility staff check on residents throughout the night. On the night of 05/29/2019, R1 had been observed to be sleeping safely during the 3:00AM check. However, when staff entered the room at 7:30AM, staff found R1 deceased. Staff interviews revealed on the night of the incident, R1’s out of bed alarm did not engage. Motion alarms were tested and were functional at the time of CCL’s visit. Sheriff’s Department found no signs of a crime; first responders indicated it appeared as if R1 had rolled off the bed. Coroner’s report findings were consistent with an accidental death. Based on all information gathered, the Department does not have sufficient evidence to determine neglect/lack of care and supervision to R1 resulted in R1’s death at this time. Therefore, the above allegation “Questionable Death” is deemed UNSUBSTANATIED at this time.
