32 | As to the allegation of, “Facility staff member called resident an inappropriate name.” It was discovered that S3 and R1 were engaged in multiple aggressive verbal interactions at different times during the week of 08/15/22 through 08/22/22. On 08/21/22, One of the aggressive verbal interactions was overheard by S1, who was compelled to intervene and ended this aggressive verbal interaction. S1 stated that S3 was speaking in Tagalog during this specific verbal interaction. R1 is an English only speaking resident and indicated that the other aggressive verbal interactions were spoken in Tagalog by S3. S3 did not admit to using any inappropriate names or profanity and S1 did not recall hearing any profanity in Tagalog (Tagalog is S1’s second language) and R1 is English only language. Based on the interviews, there was not enough evidence to conclude that inappropriate language was used therefore the allegation of, “Facility staff member called resident an inappropriate name.” is unsubstantiated at this time. A personal right finding pertaining to the aggressive verbal interaction is addressed on a separate allegation to this complaint.
As to the allegation of, “Resident sustained bruising while in care.” It was discovered through interviews, admission, documentation, and observation that R1 has bruising on their right arm and back of the right leg. R1 stated they were not sure how the described bruising occurred. R1 also stated that Staff at the facility have no issue in transferring R1 from bed to wheelchair and none of the bruising on the arms or legs are from transferring. R1’s Primary second diagnosis is Hemiplegia, unspecified affecting right dominant side. Facility staff have all be trained in patient transfer basic techniques. Based on documentation, interviews, and observations there is not enough evidence to support the allegation of, “Resident sustained bruising while in care.” and is unsubstantiated, at this time.
As to the allegation of, “Resident sustained a pressure injury while in care.” R1 stated they have redness on the center of their buttock. R1 stated that the redness was there prior to admission to this facility in July 2022. Facility physical assessment documentation also indicates that R1 had, “redness in buttock area”. No other documentation states that R1 has a pressure injury. Licensee has a doctor’s appointment for R1 scheduled on 08/29/22 at 2:15pm, to ensure an appropriately skilled professional addresses the redness. Based on interviews, admission of R1 and documentation, there is not enough evidence to support the allegation of, “Resident sustained a pressure injury while in care.” and is unsubstantiated at this time.
