There are no immediate health and safety concerns. LPA also gathered information from Resident#1 (R1) file and reviewed two other residents' files. The following documents were collected which included: staff and resident roster, R1's resident information/emergency contact sheet, physician report dated on 10/12/21, preplacement appraisal information, physician/healthcare provider order sheet and care profile. The complaint was referred to the CCL IB investigation Unit and assigned to IB Investigator Garcia for full investigation. IB investigator Garcia conducted and completed the investigation which included interviews with the facility administrator, resident’s relatives, facility residents, six facility staff, resident’s physical therapist. IB Investigator Garcia also obtained Hospital Record, police report and facility progress notes. The investigation revealed of the following: Regarding the allegation of “Resident sustained a fracture while in care.” It’s alleged that R1 was rough handled by a facility caregiver. After interviews with administrator and the facility staff, based on interviews and statements provided, there is insufficient evidence to determine if facility caregiver caused the fracture to R1’s right rib. Additionally, per the medical records no evidence of suspected abuse or neglect was deemed at the time of the medical evaluation. Therefore, based on the interviews and statements provided, there’s no sufficient evidence to support the allegation of resident sustained an unexplained fracture while in care. Therefore, LPA finds the allegation to be UNSUBSTANTIATED. 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. An Exit Interview Conducted and a copy of the report and appeal right was provided to Administrator Sanjay Kabadi
