Facility Evaluation Report

On 1/4/2024 LPA Tryon visited the facility to follow up on the recent death of a resident. LPA was greeted by staff Jenifer, and spoke with licensee Joel Seisa by phone.

Mr. Seisa said that the resident had been ill on December 1 and taken to the hospital, where he stayed for a week. The resident was found to have pneumonia. He was discharged after a week and sent home. Resident received home health nurse and dietician at home after discharge. On 1/2/24 staff found the resident appearing to not be doing well. Licensee checked on him and he was breathing, called 911. When asked to check again the resident did not appear to be breathing. Licensee started chest compressions following 911 instructions until paramedics arrived and took over. They continued the attempt for about a half hour, and then stopped and he was pronounced dead.

The resident was taken by the mortuary. As per family, no autopsy was performed.

It appears that the facility had followed up on medical care along with the resident's family as per direction. The resident was receiving home health services as ordered. When resident was discovered staff took immediate action, contacted 911 and followed instructions. It appears the home followed through appropriately.

LPA has asked the facility to provide the medical records that they have. Mr. Seisa said that the family was in charge of his medical care, and the medical provider had not agreed to give records to the home, as the family was working with them. Facility agreed to provide items they do have.
