R1's family member was informed of R1's refusal and contacted R1's primary physician who wanted R1 sent out to the hospital but was informed that R1 refused. Interviews also revealed that an appointment was made with R1's primary care physician for a follow up on R1's care and a cough R1 had developed on 10/27/2020. A review of R1's physician report and needs and service plan show that R1 did not require any assistance with bathing, dressing, or grooming and was independent in those areas. When R1 went to their appointment with their primary physician it was noted that R1 tested positive for Covid. A review of R1's facility file showed that on 10/27/2020 before going to their physician appointment R1 refused to be tested for covid at the facility. Based on the information obtained through interviews and documentation obtained this allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time. Exit interview conducted.
