32 | On 1/8/26, evening staff signed out by 10:40 PM leaving a lone overnight staff until the med tech for the shift arrived at 10:53 PM. During the time between 10:40-10-53 PM, R1 fell in their room and tore out their catheter.
R1 had a diagnosis of dementia, was noted as a fall risk and lacked hazard awareness and impulse control. Additionally, R1 had an incident of getting out of bed unnoticed the prior night before found by staff in the common area. Records showed that staffing was not increased following R1 being found wandering on the overnight.
Family of R1 was interviewed and reported many lapses in care during the short time of R1’s residence.They reported slow response times when R1’s call button was used, delays in prompts for meals and longs periods of times without staff interaction though family had been assured of intensive monitoring during R1’s first week in the community.
R2’s records review found that R2 has limited mobility, incontinence, is a 2 person lift assist and was to be assisted with repositioning due to bed sores while in hospice care.
Staff and family statements found that as R2 required 2-person assist, there were many times when R2’s incontinence care was delayed when insufficient staff were present to meet R2’s and other residents’ needs.
R2 moved from this community to another care home. LPA conducted a visit to observe R2 and check on their status. R2 was gaining weight, pressure injuries were resolving and they were increasing their communication with others.
As a result of this investigation, LPA finds allegation to be (S) Substantiated - A finding that the complaint is Substantiated means that the allegation is valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met. The following deficiencies were cited on 9099-D, per Title 22 Regulations, Division 6. (A)This poses an immediate Health and Safety risk to clients/residents in care. (B) This poses a potential Health and Safety risk, or personal rights violation, to clients/residents in care.
