Records reviewed show an overall decline in health of R1 and a referral for Hospice care was generated on 09/30/2020. A review of the Hospice intake documents, notes the fractures and attributes to a recent fall. However, there is no documented evidence or interview that supports this note. A review of the Hospice care plan shows R1 had limited mobility and was bed bound and had chronic dementia without behavioral disturbance. The plan notes R1 was experiencing a decrease in functional ability and weight loss over the past few months. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is Unsubstantiated.
