An interview with the administrator revealed there was no order from R1’s home health agency, but instead the administrator had suggested a hospital bed for R1. R2 declined the hospital bed but agreed to allow the administrator to reduce the height of R1’s bed frame. Although R2 would decline suggestions from the administrator, staff were still able to meet R1’s needs. An interview with the home health agency that provided services to R1 revealed there was no order, nor suggestion for a hospital bed. The agency disclosed R2 was very involved in R1’s care and preferred a homeopathic approach to R1’s care. Per home health, there was no indication that R1’s needs were not being met at the facility. Interviews internal and external sources did not reveal any concerns with staff not meeting the residents’ needs. The Department attempted to interview R1 on multiple occasions, but these attempts were not successful. Based on the evidence obtained, the allegation may have happened or is valid, but there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred. An exit interview was conducted with Administrator Ray Baha, to whom a copy of this report, and Licensee Rights (LIC 9058), were provided.
