32 | On 4/7/2026, LPA interviewed Staff #6 (S6).
On 6/3/2026, LPA contacted S1, S6 and W1 requesting documentation.
During today's visit, the investigation consisted of the following: LPA interviewed S1. LPA obtained pertinent documents.
The investigation revealed the following: in regard to the allegation, “Facility staff abandoned resident at the hospital” It is alleged that when R1 was ready to be discharged from the hospital, the facility would not take R1 back despite previously agreeing to do so. LPA attempted to interview R1 over the phone but LPA was unable to interview R1 since R1 did not answer any questions. R1 is no longer a resident of the facility as of 3/29/2026. LPA interviewed five (5) out of eight (8) residents that denied the allegation stating that when the resident was hospitalized and to be discharged from the hospital, the staff does not abandon the resident as they ensure that the resident are able to return back to the facility. LPA interviewed three (3) out of eight (8) residents stated that they have not been hospitalized during their stay at the facility. However, those three (3) out of eight (8) residents stated that they have not heard about staff abandoning residents at the hospital. LPA interviewed two (2) out of six (6) staff that denied the allegation stating that R1 was not abandoned at the hospital as they stated that there were discrepancies with R1’s Physician’s Report that the hospital physician filled out 3/27/2026 which did not include R1’s medication list and MRSA diagnosis which is a prohibited condition as it is a serious infection that is easily transmittable. S1 and W1 stated that R1 was admitted to the hospital on 3/20/2026. Per W1, R1’s MRSA isolation was cleared on 4/2/2026 which exceeded R1’s 14-day respite stay at the facility. Per W1 and one (1) staff, there was never an updated physician’s report completed by facility or hospital staff. Four (4) out of six (6) staff interviewed all stated they are not involved in R1’s matter being at the hospital. However, the four (4) out of six (6) staff indicated that they have not experienced any residents abandoned at the hospital while they have worked at the facility. S1 also stated that the facility did not refuse to accept R1 back to the facility since R1 was a resident on a respite stay for 14 days which R1 signed on 03/16/2026 and expired on 03/29/2026. Per interview with two (2) staff and record review, R1 did not pay for the respite stay as payment is provided prior to the respite stay and no payment was received from R1 during or after R1’s respite stay. There is not enough evidence to substantiate. |
