Inspection Report Complaint Investigation Deficiencies: 1 Jul 19, 2023
Visit Reason
The inspection was conducted due to a complaint investigation related to Resident #1 regarding the facility's failure to permit the resident to remain in the facility and improper transfer/discharge procedures.
Findings
The facility failed to provide adequate reasons and documentation for discharging Resident #1, who had complex medical needs and was totally dependent on staff. The resident's representative (RP) reported multiple concerns including improper care, clogged feeding tube incidents, and aggressive behavior accusations leading to visitation restrictions and a 30-day discharge notice. The facility cited interference by the RP with medical care and threats to staff as reasons for discharge, but evidence to support these claims was limited. The discharge was ultimately due to the facility's inability to meet the resident's needs given the family dynamics and care disagreements.
Complaint Details
The complaint investigation focused on Resident #1's discharge initiated by the facility without adequate justification. The RP alleged retaliation and improper care, including clogged feeding tubes and dressing changes done by the RP due to facility neglect. The facility cited interference by the RP with medical care and threatening behavior as reasons for discharge. The RP disputed these claims and reported feeling pressured and traumatized by the discharge process. The investigation included interviews with the RP, facility administration, nursing staff, and review of clinical records and correspondence.
