Allegation investigated: Staff left resident on the floor after a fall

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Iby Strong conducted an unannounced complaint visit to deliver findings on the above-mentioned allegation. LPA met Executive Director Denise Notter and discussed the purpose of the visit. On October 28, 2024, Community Care Licensing (CCL) received a complaint alleging staff left Resident 1 (R1) on the floor after a fall. Based on R1's Physician Report dated September 3, 2024, R1 can communicate need and is able to follow instructions. During the investigation, LPA Strong conducted interviews, and reviewed facility records. According to the allegation on October 27, 2024, Resident 1 (R1) was observed to be crawling on the floor of the facility hallway after a fall and staff present left resident there an extended amount of time. Interview with staff present on the date of the incident revealed that Staff 1 (S1) was doing rounds at around 8:30pm, opened R1’s bedroom door and found R1 crawling on the floor. Unsubstantiated According to S1, R1 had finished using the restroom independently and as S1 walked into R1’s room, R1 was found crawling out of the bathroom towards the front door. Based on Staff 2 (S2) statement, R1 was asked to stay in the same space to assess for injuries but R1 continued crawling towards the hallway. S2 revealed that during this time, both S1 and S2 had requested assistance from the Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) via walkie- talkie who arrived within 2 minutes. Interviews with S1, S2, and LVN corroborated that R1 did not fall, rather chose to crawl from one space to another and had no injuries. Additionally, records reviewed confirmed R1 has had other episodes of choosing to crawl rather than use their personal walking equipment. Interview with R1 confirmed that R1 does chose to crawl to the restroom and back to bed or chair. Interview with outside source revealed that there have been no instances observed where any resident is left unattended after a fall for an extended period. Based on interviews, and record reviews there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove alleged violations occurred, therefore the allegations are unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted with Executive Director Denise Notter, to whom a copy of this report, and the Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC 9058 03/22) were provided.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Nov 21, 2024 · control 08-AS-20241028134911
