32 | 9099C-1.. Resident (R1’s) Physician’s Report notes a primary diagnosis of Urinary Retention and a foley catheter is needed to assist. (R1) also needs assistance with transfers and dressing/grooming and is able to communicate and follow directions but is not able to leave the facility unassisted.
Allegation: Staff did not allow resident to use the phone. The allegation state staff did not allow resident (R1) to use the phone to call out.
The administrator stated that (R1) "was using the land line a lot" and they did not have a personal cell phone and asserted "other family members complained of the phone being busy and it not being answered", and it was due to (R1) being on the phone so much. The administrator added that during the day, (R1) was on the phone 1.5 hours sometimes and she "told (R1) they cannot be on the phone that long". The administrator stated (R1) was calling Canada and she told them "don't make too many out of state calls".
The administrator confirmed the facility phone is a cordless land line, and (R1) would take the call to their room and was unsure if (R1) was making outgoing or receiving incoming calls.
Four (4) residents stated they each use their personal cell phone and do not use the facility land line.
(R1s) family member stated he is "not aware" of (R1) not being able to make outgoing calls and stated he called (R1) "numerous times and I was always able to talk to (R1)".
Based on information obtained, LPA finds this allegation to be UNSUBSTANTIATED -meaning that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred.
Allegation: Staff did not follow physician’s orders. The allegation states staff would not give (R1) their psych meds or the Flomax for urinary retention; staff stole (R1’s) catheter kits to empty their urine, claiming the kits were for someone else at the facility.
The administrator indicated (R1) did not have a catheter, but said they needed one due to having urinary retention. The administrator indicated she is not sure if (R1) moved in with a catheter as they "were using the commode".
