Plain-language summary
Minnesota Department of Health investigated a complaint that the facility neglected a resident by not providing incontinence care and bathing according to the resident's plan of care, which required assistance up to eight times daily; the investigation found the neglect allegation inconclusive because while facility documentation did not consistently show the required frequency of care services were provided, there was conflicting information about services received and the resident's history of refusing care, and no skin breakdown or other physical harm was observed. The facility was found in noncompliance and requested additional resources from a homecare agency to address the resident's care needs.
Full inspector notes
Finding: Inconclusive Nature of Investigation: The Minnesota Department of Health investigated an allegation of maltreatment, in accordance with the Minnesota Reporting of Maltreatment of Vulnerable Adults Act, Minn. Stat. 626.557, and to evaluate compliance with applicable licensing standards for the provider type. Initial Investigation Allegation(s): The facility neglected the resident when the facility staff failed to follow the resident’s plan of care, resulting in insufficient incontinent (being unable to control the body's natural excretions of urine or feces) care and bathing. Investigative Findings and Conclusion: The Minnesota Department of Health determined neglect was inconclusive. There were conflicting information from interviews regarding the resident’s care, the services received and the resident’s reported history of refusal of incontinence care with facility records. The facility had insufficient documentation to demonstrate incontinence care services were provided at the frequency the resident required per their assessment. There was no evidence of skin breakdown or other negative effects related to an allegation of a lack of incontinence care. The investigator conducted interviews with facility staff members, including administrative staff, nursing staff, and unlicensed staff. The investigator contacted an outside agency physical therapist, occupational therapist and nurse. The investigation included review of the resident records, staff schedules, and related facility policy and procedures. Also, the investigator observed staff and resident interactions. The resident resided in an assisted living facility. The resident’s diagnoses included stroke and bipolar disorder. The resident’s service plan included assistance with bathing once a week, and incontinence care. The resident’s assessment indicated the resident required assistance up to eight or more times in 24 hours for incontinence care. The resident’s assessment indicated the resident had impaired cognition, required a mechanical lift and two staff for transfers and was at risk for skin breakdown due to impaired mobility, incontinence, and diabetes. Three months of resident’s service delivery records reviewed indicated instructions for facility staff were to provide incontinence care eight times in a 24-hour period with two staff members, however the facility’s documentation did not match the frequency of those services were provided. The service delivery records indicated facility staff would initial incontinence care was completed one time for the day shift, one time for the evening shift and one time for the overnight shift. The facility had several days and shift were no staff documented incontinence care services were provided. Additionally, the record lacked documentation of refusal of services. During an interview, unlicensed staff member stated staff would assist the resident with incontinence care three times during the day shift. Staff assist with incontinence care when the resident woke up in the morning, again around lunch time, and then in the afternoon just prior to the day shift ending. During an interview, the nurse stated the resident’s plan of care for incontinence care directed staff to assist the resident eight times in a 24-hour period. The expectation was that staff would assist the resident with incontinence cares three times on day shift and three times on evening shift and as needed on the overnight shift. The resident required a mechanical lift from her wheelchair and into her bed for cares to be provided. The resident had a history of refusing cares. During an interview, a homecare nurse stated the resident refused to allow staff to provide incontinence cares.

Plain-language summary
A complaint investigation found no substantiated neglect after a resident fell while attempting to walk to the bathroom independently, despite a call light being on for 101 minutes before staff responded. The resident was independent with toileting and mobility at the time, staff responded appropriately by calling for help and a nurse assessment, and no injuries were found from the fall. The resident's health decline was attributed to pre-existing chronic conditions rather than the incident, and she was later admitted to hospice care.
Full inspector notes
Finding: Not Substantiated Nature of Investigation: The Minnesota Department of Health investigated an allegation of maltreatment, in accordance with the Minnesota Reporting of Maltreatment of Vulnerable Adults Act, Minn. Stat. 626.557, and to evaluate compliance with applicable licensing standards for the provider type. Initial Investigation Allegation(s): The alleged perpetrator (AP) neglected the resident when the AP failed to respond to the resident’s call light timely, the resident tried transferring herself and fell. The resident’s health quickly declined because of the fall. Investigative Findings and Conclusion: The Minnesota Department of Health determined neglect was not substantiated. The resident was independent with toileting at the time of the fall. Although the pendent log indicated the resident’s call light was on for 101 minutes, it was an isolated error of the AP. The AP responded to the resident, called for help and the on-call nurse. The nurse assessed the resident after the fall and no injuries were noted. Additionally, the resident had a recent health decline from chronic conditions a few days prior to the fall, continued to decline afterwards and admitted to hospice services. The investigator conducted interviews with facility staff members, including administrative staff, nursing staff, and unlicensed staff. The investigator contacted the resident’s family. The investigation included review of the resident’s record, death record, hospital records, facility incident reports, personnel files, staff schedules, and related facility policy and procedures Also, the investigator toured the facility and observed resident cares and call light response time. The resident resided in an assisted living memory care unit. The resident’s diagnoses included dementia with visual hallucinations, osteoarthritis, and radiculopathy (nerves in the spine that are compressed or irritated causing pain weakness, and pain). The resident’s service plan included assistance with medication management, grooming, and housekeeping. The resident was not at risk for falling before the incident and she walked independently with a walker. The resident’s progress notes indicated several days before the fall the resident reported not “feeling good.” A nurse assessed the resident, her vitals were stable, and directed staff to encourage fluids, rest and notify nurse if no improvement. Two days later, progress notes indicated the resident was found slumped over in her recliner and she was sent to the hospital. The resident reported discomfort in her neck but otherwise denied significant pain of neurological symptoms. After several tests were negative the hospital reported she appeared to be suffering from torticollis (a condition from muscle spasms that persistently turn the head to one side). Three days later, the resident retuned from the hospital. She denied pain or any other symptoms. After dinner the resident was found on the floor in her apartment. The resident reported she attempted to walk to the bathroom. Her vitals were stable, range of motion at baseline for resident, she denied hitting her head. Staff assisted the resident off the floor with direction to call the nurse if any complaint of pain or change in condition. The resident’s pendant push log report indicated the resident’s call light was on for 101 minutes shortly after dinner. The incident report indicated the resident was found on the floor. An assessment was completed and within normal limits for the resident. The incident was reported to the nurse and family. The incident follow-up note completed the morning after the fall indicated the resident was up and walking. The resident was assessed “at baseline for mobility and transfers” with walker. Progress notes indicated the day after the fall, nursing staff discussed with family the resident recent health decline and on-going weight loss. The physician ordered a hospice referral and evaluation. During an interview, the family member said the resident was recently transferred to memory care because her physical and mental health were declining. She stopped interacting with others and began hallucinating. She was independent with toileting and walked with her walker. The resident’s primary care provider recently told the family the resident was “progressing,” and she was entering the final end stage of her life. A couple days before the incident, the resident was found slumped to one side in her recliner and she was sent to the hospital. The hospital diagnosed the resident with torticollis. The hospital planned to discharge the resident, but family requested the resident stay for observation. The family wanted the resident walking independently before discharge. The following day the resident “walked several laps around the nursing station.” The evening the resident returned from the hospital; she pressed her call pendant for assistance to the toilet. The resident reported to the family member, staff took too long so she transferred herself and fell. At the time of the incident, the resident was independent with toileting and walked independently with a walker although at the hospital staff assisted her. The family member came to the facility the evening of the fall and spend a couple hours with the resident. During an interview, the AP said she found the resident on the floor sometime after supper. She called another staff member for help and then they called the nurse. She thought the resident was trying to walk to the bathroom but was unable to recall if the resident’s call light was on. She was trained to answer call lights as soon as possible. The alert was through text only, no constant or intermittent alerts sound on the phone or in the building. During an interview, an unlicensed personnel (ULP) said she remembered the resident fell during her shift but was unable to recall specific details about the incident. When a resident pressed their call pendent, staff received an alert on their phone but the there was no noise. It was possible the AP forgot to deactivate the alarm when she entered the resident’s room because she was busy calling for help and assisting the resident. The call pendent may have been on during the entire incident and only was deactivated once the resident was back in her chair. The ULP said the AP was new at the time but answered resident calls quickly and provided good care. During an interview, a member of management, who was also a nurse, said a staff member called and reported the incident to the triage nurse. The resident’s range of motion, vitals, skin, and mobility were all at baseline after the fall. The resident stated she was on her way to the bathroom and fell. At the time of the incident, she was unaware if the resident used her call light to request assistance. No injuries were observed after the incident and the resident’s family member came to visit right after the incident. The member of management completed the incident follow-up assessment the following morning. The resident’s death record indicated the resident died from natural causes related to heart disease and no injury contributed to her death. In conclusion, the Minnesota Department of Health determined neglect was not substantiated. “Not Substantiated” means: An investigatory conclusion indicating the preponderance of evidence shows that an act meeting the definition of maltreatment did not occur. Neglect: Minnesota Statutes, section 626.5572, subdivision 17 “Neglect” means neglect by a caregiver or self-neglect. (a) "Caregiver neglect" means the failure or omission by a caregiver to supply a vulnerable adult with care or services, including but not limited to, food, clothing, shelter, health care, or supervision which is: (1) reasonable and necessary to obtain or maintain the vulnerable adult's physical or mental health or safety, considering the physical and mental capacity or dysfunction of the vulnerable adult; and (2) which is not the result of an accident or therapeutic conduct. Vulnerable Adult interviewed: No, she was deceased. Family/Responsible Party interviewed: Yes. Alleged Perpetrator interviewed: Yes. Action taken by facility: The facility completed an incident report, assessed the resident, and provided follow-up care following the event. Action taken by the Minnesota Department of Health: No further action taken at this time. cc: The Office of Ombudsman for Long Term Care The Office of Ombudsman for Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities PRINTED: 10/15/2025 FORM APPROVED STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION (X3) DATE SURVEY AND PLAN OF CORRECTION IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: COMPLETED A.
