The second allegation indicates facility staff abandoned resident. Interviews with S1 and S2 stated that R1 was not abandoned. S1 stated that the facility was not able to meet R1’s needs and wanted R1 to be evaluated at a psych ward before readmitting. S1 provided hospital social worker with the facility that was willing to take R1 and had an opening. LPAs reviewed R1’s hospital progress notes and social worker notes. Progress note on 2/2/21 states patient has no new symptoms and is awaiting in-patient psych facility placement. Social service notes from 1/29/21 states social worker got a call stating MD wants patient to be placed at a psych facility. Based on the information obtained, the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED. A finding of UNSUBSTANTIATED means that although the allegations may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur. An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of this report was discussed and provided to Assitant Administrator Erika Montoya.
