Complaint Investigation Report

Facility Administrator did not assess the resident at the hospital until 04/06/2024 after multiple conversations with Licensing. Updated physician report dated 04/05/2024 indicates resident is now bedridden and outside licensing regulations as facility does not have a bedridden fire clearance. Administrator provided incident reports dated 03/13/2024 and 03/16/2024 regarding hospitalization of R1. Administrator indicates faxing the reports to the department but does not have a fax receipt. Department regulations require facilities to report incidents to responsible parties, licensing, and physician but the requirement does not apply to outside agencies. Based on interviews conducted and record review, LPA is unable to corroborate the allegations. Therefore, the allegations are deemed unsubstantiated, meaning that although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report was provided to facility.
