32 | Regarding the allegation: Staff did not seek timely medical care for resident. It was alleged S1 did not seek timely medical attention for R1. To investigate the allegation, LPA conducted interviews with ten (10) residents and two (2) staff members. LPA’s interview with R1 revealed about two (2) weeks from today’s date (they could not provide a specific timeframe) they became ill where they were vomiting consistently for five (5) days. R1 stated they told staff. When questioned if staff had denied them medical treatment, R1 stated, “No”. When questioned if they were ever seen by a medical professional, R1 stated, “Yea”. LPA’s interview with 9 of the 9 residents confirmed that staff have not denied them medical attention.
LPA’s interview with S1 revealed R1 was attended to by their physician where medication was prescribed to help with their symptoms of vomiting. S1 stated once they observed R1 was not becoming better, they sent them to the hospital on 1/30/2026. LPA’s interview with S2 confirmed S1’s interview regarding R1’s hospitalization.
LPA’s record review of R1’s Centrally Stored and Destruction Medication Record (CSDMR) and Medication Administration Record (MARS), showed R1 was prescribed Metoclopramide on 1/27/2026 from 1/27/2026 to 2/10/2026. The order of the medication stated, “Take 1 tab by mouth. 3xs daily for Nausea/vomiting”. LPA's record review of R1's discharge paperwork from the hospital confirmed they were attended to.
Based on interviews and record review, R1 stated staff attended to their medical needs. Therefore, the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED at this time.
No immediate health and safety issues observed during the day of the visit. Exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report was provided to the Administrator.
