According to allegation, on February 6, 2024, R1 was observed to have a large bruise on the front left side of head and well as bruises/scrapes on hands and arms. Interview with Director of Assisted Living revealed R1 had an unwitnessed fall on February 6, 2024. Interview established that R1 received first aid from Licensed Vocational Nurse and was taken to the emergency room, on the same day, when bruise developed on left side of face and head. Records collected revealed that R1 moved into facility with multiple bruises on arms. Interview with staff present on February 6, 2024, corroborated that R1 had an unwitnessed fall and was assessed for injuries. Interview with outside source did not reveal any information to corroborate neglect resulted in injuries. Finally, records collected established R1 was diagnosed with hypoglycemia on the date of the incident. Based on Department’s interviews, and record reviews there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove alleged violation occurred, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted with Executive Director David Armour, to whom a copy of this report, and the Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC 9058 03/22) were provided.
