Complaint Investigation Report

LPA also interviewed the health and wellness director (HWD) who stated that R1 was told that they could not return to the facility with a stage 3 wound. ED and HWD both stated that the resident could return once the wound was no longer a stage 3. There was no documentation available for the LPA to review the official diagnosis of the wound. Title 22 s tates , " (a)Persons who require health services for or have a health condition including, but not limited to, those specified below shall not be admitted or r e tained in a residential care facility for the elderly:(1)Stage 3 and 4 pressure injurie s " .

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 .
