25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) KaSandra Lopez initiated a Case Management - Incident visit. The purpose of this visit is to conclude an investigation initiated by LPA Lopez during a Case Management – Incident visit conducted on 06/10/2022. During today’s visit LPA Lopez met with Director of Health And Wellness Nicolle Hozner. Administrator Jill Ford was not available for today's visit. Entrance interview conducted.
On 05/28/2022, Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD) received a faxed death report pertaining to Resident#1 (R1) who passed away on 05/28/2022. R1 was receiving hospice care services at the time of death and was admitted under hospice with a diagnosis of Intracranial Hemorrhage. At the time the death report was received, the last reported fall to CCLD R1 had was on 03/11/2022 when another resident pushed R1 and no injuries were sustained.
On 06/10/2022, LPA Lopez conducted an unannounced Case Management inspection at the facility. During the inspection, the LPA reviewed facility records, obtained copies of pertinent records, and discussed R1's history with the Administrator Jill Ford and Director of Health and Wellness Nicolle Hozner, between 11:10 AM and approximately 2:00 PM. Record review revealed, internal Resident Incident Reports dated 04/18/2022 and 04/20/2022 state the resident had unwitnessed falls resulting in a bump on their head with fresh blood requiring emergency medical treatment at the hospital for the fall and head injury. R1 was then admitted under hospice care on 04/29/2022 with a diagnosis of Intracranial Hemorrhage. R1 also had an unwitnessed fall on 05/06/2022 and complained of leg pain. R1’s family took R1 to the hospital for this fall. During the interview with the Administrator, she stated hospice gave the diagnosis of Intracranial hemorrhage due to a history of falls and was not related to a particular fall. Interviews with the Administrator and Ms. Hozner also revealed, the fall incidents were not reported to CCLD, as Ms. Hozner was mistakenly under the impression from her prior employer, that CCLD did not need to be notified if a resident returned to the facility from the hospital within 24 hours.
Report continued on LIC 809-C.
