Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

During an interview with Staff 1 (S1), S1 explained that R1 had a belt attached to the wheelchair, and S1 would strap R1 into the belt for security reasons. S1 clarified that the belt was not used all the time but would be applied when S1 was not nearby R1. S1 stated S1 used the belt about once or twice. In a separate interview, S2 confirmed that S2 believed the belt was being used and saw something on R1’s waist. However, upon reviewing the R1’s records, it was learned that R1 did not have a written physician's order for the use of the belt nor consent from R1's responsible party. As a result, this allegation is SUBSTANTIATED. A finding that the complaint is substantiated means that the allegations are valid because the preponderance of the standard has been met. Deficiencies cited on the LIC 9099-D, per Title 22 Regulations. An exit interview was conducted with Tasha and Melissa and a copy of this LIC 9099, LIC 9099-D page and appeal rights provided to facility.
