Plain-language summary
The Minnesota Department of Health investigated a complaint that administrative staff abused a resident by preventing visits with a family member, but found the allegation not substantiated. The facility had issued a trespass order against the family member after she was verbally and physically aggressive toward staff on multiple occasions, and the resident was able to visit this family member through off-site arrangements; medical providers noted no negative changes in the resident's health or behavior following the trespass order. A second allegation that administrative staff prevented the resident's transfer to another facility was also not substantiated, as the investigation found staff had provided necessary records to the prospective facility to facilitate the placement evaluation.
Full inspector notes

Stat. 626.557, and to evaluate compliance with applicable licensing standards for the provider type. Initial Investigation Allegation(s): The alleged perpetrators (AP)-1 and AP-2, who are administrative staff at the facility, abused the resident when they secluded her from visiting family member (FM)-1. Investigative Findings and Conclusion: The Minnesota Department of Health determined was not substantiated. AP-2 completed a trespass order on FM-1 for the safety of staff and residents. FM-1 was verbally and physically aggressive towards facility staff on multiple occasions. FM-1 was able to see the resident by arrangement of off-site visits. The investigation did not reveal evidence of negative effects to the resident related to the change in visit frequency of FM-1. Additionally, during the investigation, AP-1 was accused of preventing the resident from moving to another facility by telling the prospective facility lies, resulting in the facility not accepting the resident for placement. Evidence showed AP-1 participated in providing the other facility records to evaluate placement. The investigator conducted interviews with facility staff members, including administrative staff, unlicensed staff, and nursing staff. The investigator contacted a licensed social worker, family members, and the resident’s legal guardian. The investigation included review of the resident records, facility incident reports, personnel files, staff schedules, and related facility policy and procedures. Also, the investigator observed staff and resident interactions and resident cares while on site. The resident resided in an assisted living memory care unit. The resident’s diagnoses included dementia with behavioral disturbance and anxiety. The resident’s service plan included assistance with eating, dressing, bathing, medication administration and transfers. The resident’s assessment indicated the resident was dependent on the use of a wheelchair and was alert but confused. A facility provided document indicated a no trespassing order was issued to FM-1 seven months prior to the investigation. The order indicated the FM-1 could not enter the land of the facility for one year from the issued date. A family provided email correspondence indicated AP-1 contacted FM-1 one month prior to the trespass order requesting a sit-down meeting to discuss concerns the facility had regarding the actions of FM-1 that made staff feel uncomfortable. The email also stated the facility would like to assist with finding alternate placement to a different facility for the resident. The email indicated the facility had trespassed FM-1 from the facility. A nurse’s note indicated FM-1 entered the facility with a friend and was heading towards the elevator when she was intercepted by AP-2. AP-2 reminded FM-1 of the guidelines in place for visitation, and FM-1 became upset and waived papers in AP-2’s face. FM-1’s friend attempted to calm her down. The note indicated FM-1 stated she was not going to follow the guidelines. A nurse’s note indicated the resident’s legal guardian instructed AP-1 to remove a camera from the resident’s room that FM-1 had placed. Medical provider notes did not indicate any concern or change in the resident during the provider’s monthly visits after the trespass order was in place. During an interview, AP-1 stated FM-1 had been the resident’s guardian prior to the resident’s spouse pursing a third-party guardian due to family disagreements. AP-1 stated FM-1 was angry and unpredictable. AP-2 initiated a trespass order on FM-1 due to an incident when FM-1 aggressively lunged at AP-2. AP-1 stated the facility did not want to have to do a trespass order on FM-1 but had the duty to protect everyone. AP-1 stated there was further issues with FM-1 once the trespass order was in place. AP-1 stated FM-1 did not follow the order and continued to enter the building. AP-1 stated the resident continued to have visits with her family including FM-1 via home visits that were set up by family. AP-1 stated she noted a very positive change in the resident since the trespass order had been in place. The resident improved her self-feeding skills, goes to all activities, and was more vocal than before. AP-1 stated the staff did not note any negative changes in the resident since the trespass order was placed on FM-1. AP-1 stated she became aware of the resident referral to another facility when RN-2 presented to her office after she had completed an assessment on the resident. AP-1 stated RN-2 requested the resident’s medication list, face sheet and last six months of progress notes, which she provided to her. AP-1 stated she and RN-2 discussed the resident’s level of care and service plan. AP-1 stated as RN-2 looked through the resident’s progress notes, she stated she had concerns about FM-1. AP-2 stated she told RN-2 things have been better with the legal guardian in place. During an interview, AP-2 stated there had been several conversations with FM-1 regarding FM-1’s interference of the care of the resident and other facility residents. AP-2 stated FM-1 force fed the resident and gave other residents regular water who required thickened liquids. AP-2 stated he had to call the police on FM-1 when she came after him. AP-2 stated FM-1 did not think the trespass order had any value as she continued to try to enter the facility. AP-2 stated staff were directed by him to call the police if FM-1 entered the building, and there was an incident when staff began to call 911 on FM-1. FM-1 grabbed the phone from the staff member and hung up the call. AP-2 stated the resident, and her family could have visits off the property of the facility, and the facility staff prepared the resident to be ready for the visits. AP-2 stated there was a positive change noted with the resident after the trespass order was in place. AP-2 stated the resident was now on the verge of graduating from hospice services, was gaining weight, and gaining self-feeding independence. AP-2 stated having to complete a trespass order was not what they wanted to do, but felt it was necessary to protect all the resident’s and staff. During an interview, a nurse stated she met with the resident to complete an assessment for potential placement at the facility she worked for. The nurse stated she received the resident’s medication list from AP-1, and AP-1 let her know special arrangements were made for the resident to see FM-1 as she was not allowed on campus. The nurse stated the resident’s spouse let her know he used a camera in the resident’s room due to staff not having the resident up and ready when he wanted her ready. The nurse stated FM-1 wanted to be apart of the assessment, but the spouse hung his phone up on FM-1 to cut her out. The nurse stated it was unclear to her who the resident’s guardian was. The nurse stated the resident’s spouse told her about the restraint on FM-1. The nurse stated her managers made the final decision on new patient admissions, and they decided not to take the resident due to family drama that would not make the resident a fit at their facility. The nurse stated if the family drama concern was not there, the nurse‘s facility would have accepted the resident for placement. During an interview, the legal guardian stated he became the resident’s guardian when the resident’s spouse petitioned for one, two months after FM-1 was trespassed from the facility. The legal guardian stated he makes all final decisions regarding the resident. The legal guardian stated there had been a lot of lying and slandering towards him and the staff at the facility by FM-1. The legal guardian stated FM-1 violated the trespass order several times. The legal guardian stated FM-1 violated the facility’s policies several times despite many warnings and many chances to rectify. The legal guardian stated the trespass order could have been avoided. The legal guardian stated he instructed the facility to remove the second camera placed in the resident’s room by FM-1 due to FM-1 not following the proper procedure for placing the camera.
