32 | LPA Singh reviewed R#1’s records review and Resident #1 (R#1) record review showed a history of UTIs (urinary tract infections) and cellulitis. This medical history puts R#1 at a higher risk for skin breakdown. Despite this risk, staff are actively taking measures to prevent skin issues. Staff ensures R#1 is kept clean and dry and assist with turning in bed. It was also noted that R#1 prefers to use a bedpan without help from facility staff. Home Health care visited R#1 once a week and R#1 developed blisters on the legs after staying in the hospital for a week admitted on 07/28/2025, R#1 has been discharged from hospital to home on 08/06/2025. Home health visited facility twice a week for the wound care after R#1 sustained blisters during R#1's stay in the hospital.
Third allegation: - Staff are not meeting residents’ toileting needs.
Interviews with two (2) staff and two (2) residents reveal there are no concerns with Staff are not meeting residents’ toileting needs. Staff always help the residents in meeting the toileting needs of the residents in care. It was also noted that R#1 preferred to use a bedpan without help from facility staff.
Based on the Department's investigation, the allegations- Staff are not meeting resident's hygiene needs, Due to staff neglect, resident sustained pressure injury while in care and Staff are not meeting resident's toileting needs above are Unsubstantiated. A finding of UNSUBSTANTIATED means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur.
An exit interview was conducted where this report was discussed and a copy provided to Facility Staff-Care Giver Gilbert Oteyza.
