Date: Jun 19, 2025
Visit Reason
An unannounced complaint investigation visit was conducted in response to allegations of neglect and lack of supervision resulting in serious bodily injuries, delayed medical care, and failure to provide incontinent care at St. Paul's Villa.
Complaint Details
The complaint investigation was unsubstantiated. Allegations included neglect/lack of supervision causing serious bodily injuries, neglect resulting in delayed medical care, and neglect in providing incontinence care. The investigation included records review and interviews with staff and outside sources. The DPOA was involved in care decisions and declined initial hospital transfer. Staff followed care plans and documented toileting assistance.

Resident R1 sustained injuries from an unwitnessed fall, but staff responded appropriately by assessing the resident, calling paramedics, and notifying the Durable Power of Attorney (DPOA). The DPOA declined hospital transfer initially but later took R1 to the hospital after a subsequent fall. Documentation showed staff provided incontinence care as required.
