Facility Evaluation Report

Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Vincent Moleski and Holly Williams arrived unannounced to conduct a case management visit. LPA Moleski met with facility administrator Helen Enriquez and explained the purpose of the visit.

LPA Moleski closed a complaint investigation at this facility today. During the course of this investigation, LPA Moleski discovered deficiencies unrelated to the allegation made in the complaint report.

LPA Moleski was previously informed by Enriquez that R1 had suffered a fracture to their right upper arm around the date of Friday, July 19, 2024. Enriquez had no documentation available regarding this injury, such as an incident report or other medical documentation, and no additional documentation regarding this resident. These deficiencies were previously addressed during a case management visit on 8/12/24.

Enriquez said that R1 was sent to the emergency room on July 19, 2024 and returned on that same date with a sling provided by the hospital. Enriquez said that a physician had requested an outpatient orthopedic consultation visit for R1 to be held on the following Monday, July 22, 2024. Enriquez said that she was not able to take R1 to the hospital for this visit because she would be out of the area on that date. Enriquez said she asked the doctor to reschedule, but was told that R1 needed to be seen immediately. Enriquez said she told R1’s case manager she would be able to take R1 to the hospital, but not immediately. Enriquez said that R1’s case manager felt R1’s needs were not being met, to which Enriquez said R1 could be moved out. R1 was moved out by their case worker shortly afterward, on or around July 26, according to Enriquez.

Enriquez said that one of her staff members has their driver’s license, but she would have to pay for a relief caregiver while they were transporting R1. Enriquez said that she was not compensated for transportation to R1’s medical appointments. [continued 9099-C]
