Allegation: Facility is not checking residents blood pressure

On 03/14/2025, LPA interviewed witness (W). W1 stated that the facility is not monitoring residents' blood pressure (bp) by taking their blood pressure readings. On 03/27/2025, LPA interviewed W2 that stated residents that are blood pressure medication are not getting their blood pressure monitored by facility staff. LPA interviewed S1 that stated that before a resident moves in that they will get a medication list from the hospital or skilled nursing facility that will show if the resident is on blood pressure medication. S1 stated that if the doctor's order indicates for example bp "below 140" they will not accept that resident because the facility is not a medical facility and staff are not health professionals. S1 stated that if the resident require their bp to be monitored and check daily then they will tell the resident or resident's family that they can not provide that service. LPA reviewed R1-R7 medication list and doctor's orders and there were no instructions that bp has to be monitored and checked.

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 .
