32 | Assistant Administrator will send remaining pertinent documents by COB. LPA observed the residents to identify any signs of neglect, abuse, or other immediate health and safety threats. LPA did not observe any immediate health and/or safety concerns.
On 12/11/2025, a subsequent investigation visit was conducted. The investigation consisted of the following:
LPA obtained the following documents: staff and resident rosters, R1’s Physician’s Orders and Hospital Discharge Notes. LPA interviewed the Executive Director, Assisted Administrator, Staff #1 (S1) to Staff #4 (S4), Resident #2 (R2) to Resident #6 (R6). LPA obtained Staff In-Service documents.
During today's visit, LPA obtained the following documents: staff and resident rosters. LPA interviewed the Executive Director over the phone.
The investigation revealed the following: in regard to the allegation, “Staff did not follow a physician's instruction resulting in a resident falling and sustaining a fracture.” It is alleged that on March 23, 2025, R1 fell and was sent to the Hospital and was diagnosed with a fractured wrist. This allegation was investigated by the Investigation Bureau (IB) and was assigned to Investigator Salant. LPA reviewed IB interviews which revealed the following: While R1 had a history of falls, there were no doctors’ orders requiring R1 to have bed rails on R1’s bed, be on a 1:1 supervisor, or any type of special orders for fall prevention. The staff acted timely and within the guidelines of their training in response to R1’s last fall, which ultimately led R1 to being hospitalized. In addition, staff followed the directions that were current, to the best of their knowledge, and at the time R1 fell, investigator Salant did not feel there was anything that could have been done differently that would have produced a different outcome. There is not enough evidence to substantiate.
Allegation: “Staff refused to accept a resident back into the facility.” It is alleged that when R1 was ready to be discharged from the hospital, the facility would not take R1 back and R1 was forced to go to a rehabilitation center and not allowed to return to the facility. LPA interviewed two (2) out of five (5) residents that denied the allegation stating that when the resident was hospitalized and to be discharged from the hospital, the staff checked the resident to make sure the resident was able to return back to the facility. LPA interviewed three (3) out of five (5) residents that could not confirm nor deny the allegation stating they could not remember if they were ever refused to return from the facility.
