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 facility abused the resident when the facility would limit repositioning or transfers to only one every two hours and did not provide the resident with three meals per day. Investigative Findings and Conclusion: The Minnesota Department of Health determined abuse was not substantiated. The resident’s concerns were addressed, and new interventions were added that better met the resident’s needs. The new interventions were found to be effective. The investigator conducted interviews with facility staff members, including administrative staff, nursing staff, and unlicensed staff. The investigation included review of the resident record, hospital records, facility internal investigation, facility incident reports, personnel files, staff schedules, and related facility policy and procedures. Also, the investigator observed resident and staff interactions during an onsite visit. The resident resided in an assisted living secured memory care unit. The resident’s diagnoses included Parkinson’s disease, dementia, and recent diagnosis of colon cancer. The resident’s service plan included assistance with medication management, transfers using a mechanical lift, every two-hour repositioning, and toileting. The resident’s assessment indicated the resident was cognitively impaired, unable to make her own decisions and required the assistance of two caregivers with mechanical lift for transfers and mobility. The resident was also receiving hospice services for a terminal illness. A concern arose the resident was not being repositioned enough, was not provided with three meals per day and a termination notice was given to the resident. A facility document indicated a meeting was held to determine if the facility was able to meet the resident’s needs with ombudsmen, hospice, family and facility staff. New interventions were added to the resident’s plan of care to address pain, a posted schedule to address transferring times, and staff reeducation. A follow-up meeting attended by the same attendees was held after 30 days and found the new interventions to be effective. The resident’s needs were better met with the posted schedule, pain management, and re-trained facility caregivers. During an interview, a manager reported concerns were brought to her attention the resident was exceeding the care determined by the facilities Uniform Disclosure of Assisted Living Services and Amenities (UDLASA). A collaborative meeting was held with providers and new interventions were added to better meet the resident’s needs. Videos were provided that indicated discourteous care by two caregivers, one was re-educated, and the other’s employment was terminated. All caregivers received training and instructions to better meet the resident’s needs. The manager reported the interventions were effective and no additional concerns were identified. In conclusion, the Minnesota Department of Health determined abuse 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. Abuse: Minnesota Statutes section 626.5572, subdivision 2.

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 facility neglected the resident when the facility did not administer medication(s) to the resident as ordered and overdosed the resident. Investigative Findings and Conclusion: The Minnesota Department of Health determined neglect was not substantiated. Although it is true the resident required hospitalization and treatment for narcotic (Fentanyl) overdose, the facility followed medical providers orders. When the resident became nonresponsive with shallow breathing, the facility identified this and sought emergency care appropriately. During the course of the investigation, an allegation of abuse arose but it was inconclusive because there was insufficient evidence to demonstrate abuse occurred. The investigator conducted interviews with facility staff members, including administrative staff, nursing staff, and unlicensed staff. The investigator contacted a family member, hospice, and case manager. The investigation included review of the resident’s medication administration record, hospice notes, assessments, and progress notes, Also, the investigator completed an onsite visit to observe staff to resident interactions in the memory care units. The resident resided in an assisted living memory care unit. The resident’s diagnoses included dementia with a history of anxiety and hallucinations. The resident’s service plan included behavioral Interventions, assistance with transferring and toileting. The resident used a Broda (provides supportive positioning) chair or wheelchair for mobility. The resident was enrolled in hospice. The facility and the hospice made medication changes over time to address issues such as the resident’s calling out frequently. One day the facility found the resident unresponsive with shallow breathing. The facility called 911 for emergency services and the resident was transferred to hospital where he was treated for an accidental overdose of narcotic and placed on a Narcan drip (used to reverse narcotic overdose) overnight. About seven months prior, the resident’s facility medical records indicated the resident’s health and behaviors began to decline. During that time, he had an increase in unwitnessed falls, hallucinations, and yelling out. The same records indicated the resident enrolled in hospice due to this overall decline. To address the resident’s increased fall risk due to his decline, the facility completed a risk assessment. The facility and hospice coordinated cares to reduce risk of falls or risk of injury from falls with interventions including use of a hospital bed in the lowest position, a fall mat on the floor next to the bed, positioning resident as far from the edge as possible, Broda chair, Hoyer lift, and placing a pillow on the open side of the bed. The resident’s progress notes indicated the facility and hospice also tried interventions such as a talking book player with headphones and other comfort measures to address pain and/or anxiety. The resident’s medication administration record indicated the resident was prescribed a Fentanyl (a narcotic) scheduled to be changed once every three days. The resident’s electronic medication administration record (EMAR) indicated the facility had a system in place in which two caregivers documented application of a new Fentanyl patch and the remove of the old Fentanyl patch every 72 hours. A review of the EMAR indicated two facility caregivers documented both the application of a new patch and the removal of the old patch for the week prior to the resident’s hospitalization. Approximately one week prior to the resident’s hospitalization the resident discontinued hospice services. The progress notes indicated the facility reached out the resident’s medical provider to see if Fentanyl patches should be continued. The progress notes indicated the medical provider continued the patches. The progress notes indicated that when the resident was found unresponsive the nurse was contacted who asked the caregiver(s) to check the resident’s body for Fentanyl patches. The same note indicated there was one Fentanyl patch present on the resident’s body at that time. The facility called 911 and transferred the resident to the hospital. The same note indicated the facility called the daughter and left a voicemail. The progress notes indicated the facility contacted the hospital the next day to learn the resident had been placed on a Narcan drip (a medication to reverse a narcotic overdose) which had been discontinued early that morning. The same note indicated the hospital reported the resident was awake and alert. The hospital indicated Fentanyl had been discontinued and the resident had a different narcotic pain reliever prescribed. During an interview, an unlicensed caregiver stated prior to admission to hospice the resident was prescribed medications to treat anxiety and agitation. The caregiver stated hospice added medications including a Fentanyl patch to determine if resident was experiencing pain due his yelling. The caregiver stated the facility trained medication passers changed the narcotic patch every three days and two staff were required to verify removal of old patch and application of a new patch. The caregiver stated the caregivers were required to put their initials on the patch along with dated and document disposal of old patch. The caregiver stated they documented in the EMAR and recorded the location the patch was placed and only four areas of the body were used and rotated each time. During an interview, a family member stated the family had placed electronic monitoring in the resident’s room and observed staff being rough with cares causing pain and verbal yelling. The family member stated while the resident was on hospice the facility administered numerous as needed medications for behaviors, and stated one time two narcotic patches were found on the resident, and once hospice was discontinued the facility continued to administer hospice ordered medications. During the interview, the family member stated she had video recordings which caused her concern for the cares the resident received. Several brief video clips provided by the family were reviewed. The videos showed instances over the course of approximately three months which included the resident being repositioned in bed, sitting in his Broda chair, and caregivers approaching the resident as he laid on the floor. One video showed resident hanging partially out of bed and caregivers approaching him. However, the videos did not show events that met the definition of abuse. During an interview, a manager stated the facility became aware of the family member’s concern about the cares provided by one unlicensed caregiver but not until after the resident discharged from the facility. The unlicensed caregiver was no longer employed at the facility. A review of the resident’s medical record did not identify changes which could be attributed specifically to the events viewed on videos. In conclusion, the Minnesota Department of Health determined neglect was not substantiated while abuse was inconclusive. “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. 4) an individual makes an error in the provision of therapeutic conduct to a vulnerable adult which does not result in injury or harm which reasonably requires medical or mental health care; or (5) an individual makes an error in the provision of therapeutic conduct to a vulnerable adult that results in injury or harm, which reasonably requires the care of a physician Inconclusive: Minnesota Statutes, section 626.5572, Subdivision 11. "Inconclusive" means there is less than a preponderance of evidence to show that maltreatment did or did not occur. Abuse: Minnesota Statutes section 626.5572, subdivision 2. "Abuse" means: (a) An act against a vulnerable adult that constitutes a violation of, an attempt to violate, or aiding and abetting a violation of: (1) assault in the first through fifth degrees as defined in sections 609.221 to 609.224; (2) the use of drugs to injure or facilitate crime as defined in section 609.235; (3) the solicitation, inducement, and promotion of prostitution as defined in section 609.

Finding: Inconclusive Nature of Visit: 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. Allegation(s): The facility neglected the resident when staff failed to assess and monitor the resident with a change in condition and failed to provide care as directed by the resident’s service plan. The resident was hospitalized multiple times within a two-month period for pneumonia, urinary tract infection (UTI), and infected wounds. In addition, staff chemically restrained the resident when medication was administered to “keep her quiet”. Investigative Findings and Conclusion: The Minnesota Department of Health determined neglect was inconclusive. Although the resident developed pneumonia and wounds that required hospitalization, it is unable to be determined if the action or inaction of facility staff was the direct cause of the resident’s condition or progression of her wounds. Wound care was provided as ordered and the facility made several attempts to arrange for an outside agency to provide additional wound care and treatment. In addition, although the resident’s pain management plan wasn’t followed the An equal opportunity employer. resident was administered ordered as-needed pain medication. There was not enough evidence to support that staff chemically restrained the resident. The investigator conducted interviews with facility staff members, including administrative staff, nursing staff, and unlicensed staff. The investigator also interviewed hospital staff. The investigation included review of the resident’s medical record, nursing assessments, service plan, care plan, and progress notes. The investigator also conducted an onsite visit and observed staff’s interactions with residents. The resident resided in an assisted living facility memory care unit. The resident’s diagnoses included dementia, kidney disease, and history of recurrent pneumonia and urinary tract infections (UTIs). The resident’s service plan directed staff to provide assistance with medication administration, safety checks, every two-hour toileting and repositioning, assistance with activities of daily living, laundry, housekeeping services, and meals. The resident’s medical record identified the resident had a history of pain and behaviors of frequently yelling or calling out. Two days after admission to the facility, the resident was sent to the emergency room per the family’s request. The resident was diagnosed with dehydration and a urinary tract infection (UTI). The resident was prescribed an antibiotic and returned to the facility that same evening. Three weeks later, staff reported to the nurse an observed change in the resident’s condition. The nurse assessed the resident and noted the resident was congested, had a cough, and was diaphoretic (sweating heavily). The nurse contacted emergency medical services (EMS) and the resident was sent to the emergency room for an evaluation. The resident was admitted to the hospital and diagnosed with pneumonia, UTI, flu, and sepsis (an infection of the blood stream). The resident was hospitalized for ten days and discharged back to the facility. Staff documented pressure ulcers on the resident’s left heel, two days after her re-admission to the facility. The nurse assessed the wounds, then sent a notification and a request for treatment orders to the resident’s physician. The next day, the physician assessed the resident and noted an ulcer on the resident’s right buttock, verified there was an ulcer on the left heel, and prescribed wound care treatment orders. Approximately four hours later, EMS was contacted due to a significant change in the resident’s condition. The resident was unresponsive, diaphoretic, cold, and crackles were noted in the right lower lobe. The resident was diagnosed with pneumonia and hospitalized for four days. The resident returned to the facility with a prescription for an antibiotic. The re-admission assessment contained documentation of a right buttock ulcer and coccyx ulcer. Staff continued to monitor the resident’s respiratory status and assess the resident’s wounds. The resident’s wounds continued to worsen, and staff kept the physician informed of progression of the wounds. Wound care by an outside agency was ordered by the physician. Approximately two weeks after the resident’s most recent re-admission to the facility, the resident was again sent to the emergency room for evaluation due to a change in condition. The resident was admitted for observation and treated for an infected coccyx wound. The resident did not return to the facility. Concerns related to medication used as a chemical restraint were also investigated. Current nursing staff members were not employed at the time the alleged incident occurred and had no knowledge of the incident. Review of the resident’s Medication Administration Record (MAR) indicated the resident was administered as-needed pain medication, but it is unable to be determined if the medication was used as a chemical restraint. There was no documentation of any negative or adverse effect to the resident due to the use of the medication. Attempts to contact the resident’s family were unsuccessful. In conclusion, the Minnesota Department of Health determined neglect was inconclusive. Inconclusive: Minnesota Statutes, section 626.5572, Subdivision 11. "Inconclusive" means there is less than a preponderance of evidence to show that maltreatment did or 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, deceased. Family/Responsible Party interviewed: No, attempts to contact were unsuccessful Alleged Perpetrator interviewed: N/A Action taken by facility: The facility communicated with the primary care team, outside wound care agency, and family throughout the time the wounds were being treated.
