On 12/28/2021, a subsequent visit was conducted by LPAs Salia Walker and Elsie Campos - LPAs conducted a physical plant tour at 2:15PM. From 2:18PM to 2:22PM, the LPAs conducted an interview with one (1) out of six (6) residents. From 2:49PM to 3:04PM, the LPAs conducted an interview with the administrator. From 3:04PM to 3:35PM, LPAs reviewed and obtained copies of documents. Records reviewed by LPA Walker revealed that former resident (R1) was admitted to the facility on 11/25/2021 upon discharge from hospital. R1 started declining rapidly once at the facility and therefore was placed on comfort care (24 hours) by ABC Hospice. R1 was eventually not taking any food or liquids per hospice plan. R1 lived at the facility for only two weeks (11/25/2021 - 12/09/2021). R1 passed away at this facility with hospice present on 12/10/2021. During the initial and subsequent visit to this home three (3) out (6) residents interviewed did not have any issues with food service. During todays visit (03/28/2023) LPA observed residents eating and enjoying there meals. Based on observation, interviews conducted and records reviewed there is insufficient evidence to support the allegation "Staff do not ensure residents are properly fed while in care". Therefore the allegation is Unsubstantiated at this time. Exit interview conducted. A copy of the report provided.
