Allegation: Staff did not attend to resident in a timely manner
The allegation alleges on 01/16/2022, Resident #1 (R1) fell in their apartment and staff did not respond to their pendent call request, so they called 911 for assistance getting up. A review of the 01/16/2022 Oxnard Fire Department Incident Detail Report revealed a call for service was received at on 01/16/2022 at 6:10 PM and the unit arrived at the facility at 6:15 PM. At 6:19 PM the fire department requested the reporting party to meet them in the alley to help gain access in the building, but the patient was unable to get up off the floor and staff had not responded to the resident’s attempts to contact them. The report states a 69 year old resident was found conscious and breath and the chief problem was the resident fell off of their bed. The resident was helped up to their bed and the call was closed at 6:27 PM.
Interviews with Staff #1 (S1) revealed they recalled one day around 5:00-6:00 PM, the fire department knocked on the memory care door. S1 stated there was only two staff on duty that day and they were assisting a resident in memory care. S1 said the fire department told S1 they were there because someone called 911. The fire department provided the room number and when they went to R1’s apartment they observed R1 sitting on the floor. R1 was helped up and did not need further medical assistance. S1 recalled the other caregiver had the pager for the pendent call requests that day. Facility record review of the med-tech cross over notes reports on 01/16/2022, R1 slipped but was fully aware with no pain.
Based on information received, there is sufficient evidence to support the allegation of staff did not attend to resident in a timely manner occurred. Therefore, the allegation is deemed substantiated at this time.
