Based on the information obtained, LPA did not find sufficient evidence to establish that the facility failed to meet R1’s nutritional needs in violation of applicable regulations. LPA attempted to obtain nutrition documentation and clarification from the hospice agency on 01/27/26 and 02/02/26; however, the requested information was not received. Therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated.
Allegation: Staff did not change resident’s bandages
Finding: Unsubstantiated
On 12/06/2025, LPA interviewed W1, who stated that wound dressings were not changed by staff and appeared soaked. On 01/21/2026, LPA interviewed W2, who stated that the family performed dressing changes after the second day.
On 12/10/2025 and 01/27/2026 S1 stated that the wound was not a pressure injury, was located in the left armpit/breast area, and that wound care was managed by hospice. S1 further stated that staff changed wound dressings in the mornings. LPA reviewed Anchor Health agency letter that stated “Our hospice nurse is responsible for wound care for all our patients. Our instruction to our facilities is to contact hospice when wound is soiled is dislodged.”
LPA attempted to obtain wound care documentation and clarification from the hospice agency on 01/27/26 and 02/02/26; however, the requested information was not received.
Although information obtained during the investigation suggests that the alleged incidents may have occurred, LPA was unable to establish a preponderance of evidence to determine that the facility violated applicable regulations. Conflicting witness and staff statements, combined with the lack of supporting documentation from the hospice agency responsible for R1’s medical care, prevent a determination that the alleged violations occurred.
Therefore, the allegations are determined to be UNSUBSTANTIATED.
