Allegation investigated: Resident sustained an infection due to lack of care or neglect by staff Staff did not safeguard resident's personal items Staff did not respond to residents call for assistance in a timely manner

On 11/20/2024 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Ivan Avila conducted an unannounced complaint investigation visit regarding the above allegations directed by the Department. LPA met with Karen Slinkard and explained the purpose of the visit. During the investigation process, interviews and a records review were initiated. LPA investigated the allegation, “Resident sustained an infection due to lack of care or neglect by staff.” Based on record review and interviews conducted, it was stated upon resident being admitted to the facility that the home health agency would be responsible for wound care. Facility staff would call the home health agency when R1’s bandage needed changing and facility staff would only reinforce the wound area with tape until the home health agency could send a reprasentative to clean and rebandage the wound. It was determined that the infection did not result from the bandage care. ****Continued on LIC9099-C**** Unsubstantiated LPA investigated the allegation, “Staff did not safeguard resident’s personal items.” Based on interviews conducted, R1 stated he had all his personal belongings accounted for. R1 said he had his name on all his clothing and if they got lost, they would be returned to him. R1 stated he had socks that had to be discarded due to his foot wound. R1 stated he did not have any issue with his personal items. LPA investigated the allegation, “Staff did not respond to residents call for assistance in a timely manner.” Based on record review and interviews conducted, facility response time to R1’s call button was adequate. LPA observed two different types of call log history and it appeared staff were responsive. One call button history was from R1s room and the other response log was from R1’s door alarm being triggered once it was open. LPA reviewed missed alerts from the call button system and cross referenced it with the door alarm history and it appeared that staff had responded to R1s alerts when they triggered the door alarm. Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED. An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of the report and appeal rights was provided.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Nov 20, 2024 · control 59-AS-20240703094210
