Regarding to the allegation of - staff did not seek timely medical care for resident, the reporting party stated that the responsible party wanted to know why it took so long to do Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) on R1 and delayed in reviving R1. According to staff #1 (S1), he/she was called by Staff #2(S2) to the dining room because S2 observed R1 was not well. When S1 arrived in the dining room, S1 also noticed that R1 had a change in health condition and proceeded with calling 911 and while speaking to the 911 operator, S1 observed that R1 was no longer breathing, therefore, S1 started performing CRP as instructed by the 911 operator. LPA interviewed the reporting party who stated that they were told by the hospital that there was a delay in transferring R1 to the hospital but there was no documentation from the hospital indicating that as well as the facility delayed with performing CPR. LPA interviewed the administrator who stated that S1 performed CPR immediate after it was instructed by the 911 operator. After the investigation, this allegation is deemed to be unsubstantiated as there is no proof that there is a delay with staff performing CPR. Although the above allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. This report is reviewed and discussed with Executive Director and a copy is provided.
