Based on review of clinical records and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure
that a Speech Therapist who provided care to residents was licensed as a Speech Therapist for three of 12
months (November, and December 2024, and January 2025)
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
Review of Title 49 Chapter 45 indicated that Speech Therapists on a provisional license shall practice only
under supervision of a supervisor who holds the same type of license as the provisional licensee, who is
physically present in the area or unit where the provisional licensee is practicing.
During an interview on 1/7/25, at 11:09 a.m. Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) Employee E2 confirmed
that she has a provisional speech therapist license, as she is required to complete nine months of a
fellowship before she will be issued a regular license. SLP Employee E2 stated that she had been
supervised by a licensed SLP on a daily basis, however this stopped on 11/10/24 when the licensed SLP
terminated her employment at the facility. Since 11/10/24, SLP Employee E2 has been working without
daily supervision. No licensed SLP was available until 12/12/24 when SLP E3 was hired, who comes into
the facility once every two to three weeks to supervise SLP Employee E2.
During an interview on 1/7/25, at 11:57 a.m. Supervisor for the State Licensing Board confirmed that a SLP
with a provisional license requires supervision from a licensed SLP, who must be physically present in the
building.
During an interview on 1/7/25, at 2:08 p.m. Nursing Home Administrator confirmed that the facility failed to
provide speech therapy services by a licensed SLP or provide supervision to a SLP with a provisional
license since 11/10/24.
