Allegation investigated: Facility is neglecting resident by not caring for resident's foot

On 2/19/2025 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Grace Donato conducted an unannounced complaint investigation visit at the facility. LPA met with Care Staff Carmen Duran and explained the purpose of the visit. Regarding the allegation of Facility is neglecting resident by not caring for resident's foot, according to RP client's (R1) foot is dark purple. RP believes the staff workers are causing R1s foot to deteriorate by not taking R1 out to walk. RP believes staff should be taking the client for walks/exercising it. By not moving the foot (blood circulation) and keeping it elevated is worsening the condition of the foot. RP states he/she is not certain if the facility is following through with physical therapy for the client. page 1 of 2 Unsubstantiated LPA Kabariti interviewed 2 staff members. S1 states that R1 is always sitting in the chair and they cannot stop R1 from doing what he/she wants. They encourage R1 to elevate his/her leg while sitting on the chair throughout the day, but R1 does not listen, but R1 is good at elevating his/her leg while sleeping. The doctor knows about R1s foot and encourages R1 to elevate his/her legs but never does that. S2 is one of the main people who takes care of R1. S2 states that they encourage R1 to elevate his/her foot while sitting on the chair everyday and throughout the day but R1 doesn't listen. S2 encourages walks around the house but needs a 2-person assist because R1 is of risk of falling. R1 takes a really long time to take a few steps. From the living room to R1s room it can take 45 minutes but staff are always there to watch and assist. The doctor encourages to elevate R1s foot and do physical therapy. According to records review, part of the reappraisal of the resident dated before the complaint was filed, it is stated that R1s feet are more swollen and staff encourage R1 to keep feet up as much as possible. R1s ambulation will be addressed by providing two people lifting with transfers and ensure that R1 is safe due to fall risk being high. Based on visitation logs provided by the facility, there was a scheduled physical therapist doing visits to R1. Based on interviews & records review , although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the above allegations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED.
