32 | From LPA Martinez’ interview with the administrator, the facility was aware of R1’s bruising but not aware of the cause. R1 sustained bruises frequently due to bumping into furniture. LPA Reed’s interviews with Staff #1 (S1) at 10:10 a.m. and Staff #2 (S2) at 10:45 a.m. revealed no information about R1’s bruising but did confirm that R1 was aggressive with staff and bumped into objects in the house. Neither staff recalled R1 having their fingers slammed in a door. S1, S2, and Staff #3 (S3) who was interviewed at 9:15 a.m. today revealed that residents are observed for any physical changes or bruising every morning when dressing and showering. No residents interviewed reported any bruises or seeing bruises on other residents. Based on interviews, no staff or residents knew of causes for R1’s bruising, and nobody recalled R1 slamming their finger in a door. Therefore, the allegation is deemed UNSUBSTANTIATED at this time.
Regarding the allegation “Staff are pinching residents“ it was alleged that residents reported a staff member pinching them. LPA Martinez’ interview with the administrator revealed staff had not pinched residents and no residents reported being pinched by staff. Four (04) out of four (04) staff and all residents interviewed today revealed staff did not pinch residents. LPA did not observe any pinching during today’s visit. Based on interviews and observations, staff are not pinching residents. Therefore, the allegation is deemed UNSUBSTANTIATED at this time.
Regarding the allegation “Staff did not notify residents authorized representatives of residents new medical concerns“ it was alleged R1 had redness on their chest and face that were not reported to R1’s representatives. Record review revealed R1’s emergency information form showed Visitor #1 (V1) as their person responsible for financial affairs and Visitor #2 (V2) and Visitor #3 (V3) to be notified in an emergency. R1 had a history of breast cancer noted on their preplacement appraisal. LPA Martinez’ interview with the administrator revealed R1 had redness on their face prior to their admission. Therefore, the administrator assumed R1’s representatives already knew about the facial redness and history of breast cancer. The administrator reported R1’s facial redness to V2. S1 reported R1’s redness on their face and chest directly to V3. The facility treated R1’s face with Neosporin and V3 took R1 to urgent care. The administrator called 9-1-1 for R1’s chest redness and assisted R1 and V2 in getting to the hospital. Based on interviews and record review, the facility properly reported R1’s medical concerns to their representatives. Therefore the allegation is deemed UNSUBSTANTIATED at this time.
Regarding the allegation “Staff yells at residents“ it was alleged that staff told residents to shut up when they talked to themselves. |
