Based on interviews, there is not sufficient information to support this allegation. Therefore, this allegation is found to be UNSUBSTANTIATED at this time. It was reported that Resident #1 is not being provided medical attention in a timely manner. To investigate this allegation on 7/07/2022 between 1:00pm and 2:00pm, staff interviews were conducted. Interviews revealed that R1 is currently receiving Palliative Care. Staff from Palliative Care come weekly to the facility to access R1. Staff from Palliative Care did inform the facility that the ointments prescribed by the M.D. were causing more harm than good. The ointments were keeping R1's skin moist and the friction caused by R1's movements was not helping R1's skin to heal. Palliative Care staff recommended that a powder medication be given to R1 instead of a cream to help keep the skin dry, so it could heal faster. Based on interviews and record review, there is not sufficient information to support this allegation. Therefore, this allegation is deemed to be UNSUBSTANTIATED at this time. Exit interview conducted and a copy of the report was issued.
