32 | Allegation: Resident in care sustained unexplained bruising
Finding: Unsubstantiated
During investigation, staff (ADM, S1) stated resident (R1) has become increasingly aggressive towards staff when cleaning and giving him a shower. Review of incident reports dated 12/31/23 and 01/08/24 showed R1 wildly swung his arms, kicked staff while changing him in the bathroom and spat on their faces. Staff (ADM, S1) stated R1’s violent behaviors required 2 staff to assist him with his activities of daily living (ADLs) and that R1’s responsible party has been notified that R1 needs a higher level of care. The LPA observed that the Home Health Records do not indicate a concern for unexplained bruising or injuries; and during the subject time period, documented that R1 was a fall risk. Based on records review, interviews conducted, and observations made, the department has investigated the above allegation that resident in care sustained unexplained bruising and found it to be unsubstantiated. A finding that the complaint allegation is unsubstantiated means that although the allegation may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred.
Allegation: Facility staff do not allow resident to have visitors
Finding: Unsubstantiated
During investigation, staff denied that resident (R1) is not allowed to have visitors at the facility. Review of facility’s visitors’ logs dated 10/23/23 until 01/12/24 showed R1 was visited at the facility by home health therapists 2 to 3 times per week (10/23/23, 10/25/23, 10/30/23, 11/01/23, 11/03/23, 11/13/23, 11/16/23, 12/09/23, 12/11/23) and family members/friend (12/15/23, 12/21/23, 12/24/23, 12/26/23, 01/03/24, 01/11/24). Based on records review, interviews conducted, and observations made, the department has investigated the above allegation that facility staff do not allow the resident to have visitors and found it to be unsubstantiated. A finding that the complaint allegation is unsubstantiated means that although the allegation may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred.
