32 | The allegation of “Facility staff did not report incidents to resident's responsible person” alleges that the facility did not notify the responsible party of Resident #1 (R1) of falls that R1 experienced while in the care of the facility. During interviews with residents of the facility Resident #2 (R2) stated that they experienced a fall at the facility about one month ago. Additionally, R2 stated that they suffered an incident where a table that was leaned up against a wall of the facility slipped and hit their ankle. LPA interviewed Staff #1 (S1) who remembered both of the incidents involving R2. S1 also recalled R1 experiencing a fall while at the facility. S1 stated that R1 attempted to walk without staff assistance and fell forward hitting their face on the ground. S1 stated that R1 experienced a cut on their upper lip and a scratch on their neck. S1 stated that for both R1’s and R2’s falls they notified the Administrator of the incidents. LPA reviewed the facility’s E-Folder for incident reports. LPA observed the incident folder to be empty and confirmed that no incident reports were pending review in their folder. LPA informed the Designee who stated that they were unaware of any falls occurring at the facility. LPA interviewed the Administrator who confirmed that they were aware of three (3) falls that occurred at the facility. LPA asked the Administrator if incident reports were submitted for the falls and the Administrator confirmed that they were not. The Administrator confirmed that they would submit reports for all resident incidents in the future. Based on the information obtained during interviews and file review there is sufficient evidence to support the allegation of “Facility staff did not report incidents to resident's responsible person.” Therefore, the allegation is deemed Substantiated at this time.
The following deficiency was cited (refer to LIC 9099D). This report was read to the Administrator via telephone call. A copy of the report was printed, appeal rights were provided, and exit interview was conducted. |
