was completed by the facility staff, and R1’s primary care physician dating back to February 2016, with the most recent being completed on 10/19/20. There is nothing noted confirming R1 to have a diagnosis of dementia. Additionally, LPA observed a copy of the fax cover letter sent by the facility Wellness Director that was requesting clarification of the dementia diagnosis for R1. A further records review revealed R1’s primary care physician provided a response on a medical script stating that R1 was never diagnosed with dementia, however stated that that R1 had a mild cognitive impairment due to their age. Due to the medical history being provided by both the resident and facility staff, and no documentation to support that staff in fact wrote dementia on R1's paperwork, the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. A finding that the complaint is unsubstantiated means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation(s) occurred. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report was provided to Executive Director's Brian Taube and Jeanne Orona.
