Regarding the allegation that Staff did not seek timely medical attention for resident, the following has been concluded: Based on the evidence gathered, resident R1 was admitted at the facility on May 23, 2024 and has been receiving hospice care since being initially certified on September 23, 2024. On January 11, 2026, R1 had an episode of vomiting followed with lethargia being observed by facility staff on January 12, 2026. Facility staff notified hospice staff and a hospice nurse visit was triggered the same evening as confirmed by hospice records reviewed. A prescription for antibiotics was provided at that time and medication was delivered overnight and provided for self-administration right away on January 13, 2026. Orders for the prescription were reviewed and medication was verified to be present in the medication central storage. At the time of the present visit and per multiple statements gathered, R1 appears more responsive and is observed awake in the facility's common living area.
Regarding the allegation that Staff did not ensure resident was adequately fed and hydrated, the following has been concluded: Per the latest certification and hospice assessment for R1, the resident is placed under aspiration precautions. As a result, upon being found to be lethargic, facility staff were informed to hold on liquids and pureed meals until the resident was awake. Following the initiation of antibiotics treatment, R1 became more responsive and received adequate meals as extensively documented in videos and photographs provided by facility staff. LPA additionally observed R1 being actively fed lunch during the present visit.
Based on the evidence and statement gathered, R1 received adequate medical attention as well as nutrition and hydration. The two allegations are therefore found to be Unfounded, meaning that the allegations are false, could not have happened and/or are without reasonable basis.
An exit interview was conducted and a copy of the report was provided. |
