32 | Allegation #2: Staff did not properly monitor the resident's catheter. - Based on interviews conducted and a review of facility and hospice records, it was determined that catheter care and monitoring were the responsibility of the resident's hospice provider. Documentation reviewed, including physician's orders and hospice records, confirmed that hospice personnel were responsible for catheter-related services. Interviews with facility staff indicated that they followed the directions provided by the hospice agency and notified hospice when concerns arose regarding the resident's catheter. The investigation did not reveal evidence that facility staff failed to provide services within their scope of responsibility or failed to follow the resident’s care plan. Therefore, there is insufficient evidence to support the allegation, and the allegation is determined to be unsubstantiated.
Allegation #3: Staff did not seek timely medical attention for a resident - Based on interviews conducted with facility staff, outside parties and a review of records, it was revealed that facility staff contacted the hospice agency promptly upon observing that R1 developed a pressure wound. R1 was receiving care from the hospice agency. Therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated.
Based on the evidence, review of records and interviews, the allegations mentioned above are UNSUBSTANTIATED. A finding that the complaint is UNSUBSTANTIATED means 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, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated at this time.
An exit interview was conducted where this report, LIC9099 and LIC9099C were discussed and provided to Administrator Delcie Mucha. |
