Complaint Investigation
No findings

Plain-language summary

The Minnesota Department of Health investigated a complaint that facility staff neglected a resident after she fell and requested hospitalization, but determined the allegation was not substantiated. Staff assessed the resident after the fall, notified the medical provider when the resident reported a bump on her head two days later, and sent her to the emergency room three days after the fall when she reported dehydration and showed a change in condition. The resident later clarified that she had not pushed her call button for help during the days after the fall and did not report concerns to staff because she thought she could rest and recover on her own.

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 facility neglected the resident when the resident fell, requested to go to the hospital, and facility staff refused to send her. She was bedridden for two days and facility staff did not respond her pendent calls for help. Investigative Findings and Conclusion: The Minnesota Department of Health determined neglect was not substantiated. Although the resident fell, facility nursing staff assessed the resident, completed safety checks, and updated the medical provider. The resident was sent to the ER three days after the fall. The investigator conducted interviews with facility staff members, including administrative staff, nursing staff, and unlicensed staff. The investigation included review of the resident’s records, hospital records, facility incident reports, personnel files, staff schedules, and related facility policies and procedures. Also, the investigator observed interactions between staff and residents. The resident resided in an assisted living facility. The resident’s diagnoses included adult failure to thrive and bipolar disorder. The resident’s service plan included assistance with bed making, housekeeping, and medication management. The resident’s assessment indicated the resident was cognitively intact with occasional need for redirection and reassurance. The resident’s assessment indicated the resident had a history of falls. Facility documentation indicated the resident was found on the ground near her door. The resident reported she got up to go to the bathroom, got dizzy, fell backwards, and hit her head. Unlicensed staff obtained vital signs and notified the facility nurse of the fall and that the resident reported she hit her head. A facility nurse assessed the resident the day of the fall. The resident was reassessed by another facility nurse two days after the fall. During the reassessment, the resident reported a bump on the back of her head that caused discomfort and the medical provider was updated. Three days after the fall, the resident complained of being dehydrated and a facility nurse sent the resident to the emergency room (ER). Hospital records indicated the resident was diagnosed with recurrent falls and anemia (a condition of low red blood cells or hemoglobin, which can cause tiredness, weakness, and shortness of breath). The resident was discharged to a transitional care unit and later returned to the facility. During an interview, a facility staff member stated the resident pressed her pendent and when she responded to the resident’s light, she found the resident on the ground near her apartment door. The resident reported that she hit her head, so the staff member called the facility nurse. The nurse came into the facility and assessed the resident. At the time of the assessment the nurse asked the resident if she wanted to go to the ER and the resident declined. The nurse advised the resident to push her pendent if she needed help. The facility staff member stated that she checked on the resident several times throughout the next two days and the resident did not report any additional concerns. During an interview, the resident stated her mind wasn’t clear at the time of the fall and the days were all “clumped” together. The resident denied pushing her pendent for help in the days after the fall. The resident stated that facility staff came into her room and brought her food but not consistently. The resident did not report any concerns to facility staff because she thought she could just lay in bed and get better but realized she wasn’t getting better and was sent to the hospital. During investigative interviews, facility nursing staff stated the resident was assessed after the fall and initially declined transport to the ER. Nursing staff continued to monitor and assess the resident and when the resident reported she had a bump on her head, the medical provider was updated. Three days after the fall, the resident reported concerns and staff noted a change in condition and the resident was sent to the emergency room. 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.

Vulnerable Adult interviewed: Yes. Family/Responsible Party interviewed: No, attempts to interview were unsuccessful. Alleged Perpetrator interviewed: Not Applicable. Action taken by facility: The facility assessed the resident, administered pain medication, updated the provider, and sent the resident to the emergency room when a change in condition occurred.

Complaint Investigation
No findings

Plain-language summary

A complaint investigation found that a staff member gave insulin ordered for another resident to this resident by mistake; the resident experienced nausea and vomiting but recovered within three days after receiving additional monitoring and medication. The Minnesota Department of Health determined this medication error was not substantiated as neglect, concluding it was an isolated incident rather than a failure to provide necessary care, and the facility retrained staff involved after the error occurred. The resident's family expressed concern about safety and received different accounts of what happened from staff.

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 a resident when she administered medication to the resident that was not ordered for the resident by the provider. Investigative Findings and Conclusion: The Minnesota Department of Health determined neglect was not substantiated. The AP administered insulin to the resident. The insulin was meant for another resident with a similar name. Although the wrong medication was given, the error was an isolated incident. The resident sustained nausea and vomiting, received increased monitoring, anti-nausea medication and returned to their baseline health condition. The investigator conducted interviews with facility staff members, including administrative staff, nursing staff, unlicensed staff, and a family member. The investigation included review of the resident’s medical record, the medical provider’s orders, facility incident report and personnel An equal opportunity employer. files. Also, the investigator toured the facility and observed staff interactions with residents and medication administration. The resident resided in an assisted living memory care unit. The resident’s diagnoses included psychotic disorder with delusions and dementia with behavioral disturbance. The resident’s service plan included assistance with bathing, toileting, and dressing. The resident’s medication administration record (MAR) indicated she received assist with medication administration. The resident’s assessment indicated she was oriented to person only and required stand by assist with walking. The facility internal investigation indicated the AP took a syringe from the nurse, that was identified by the nurse as Trulicity (a diabetes medication) and administered it to the resident. The medication was ordered for a different resident with a similar name. The resident’s progress notes indicated the provider was notified of the error and of the resident developing increased anxiety and nausea with vomiting. The facility received orders from the provider for Ativan (a medication used to reduce anxiety) as needed and Zofran (an anti-nausea medication). Progress notes indicated the resident had returned to her baseline health status three days after the medication error was made. The AP’s personnel record indicated the AP received retraining after the incident and demonstrated competency with insulin administration. During an interview, the AP stated she did not follow the five rights of medication administration (ensuring right medication, right resident, right time, right dose, right route) prior to giving the injection, because the nurse had already had the medication prepared and she thought the nurse had gone through all the steps already. The AP stated she should not have given the medication. The AP stated she had a feeling to double check the resident’s MAR after giving her the insulin and found the medication was not listed on her MAR. The AP stated once the error was discovered, she called the provider, received new orders, and implemented them. The AP stated she called the family but did not get an answer at that time. During an interview, the nurse stated she told the AP she did not feel comfortable giving the resident her insulin injection because she heard from other staff, she can be resistive at times. The AP stated she would do it and took the syringe from LPN-B. LPN-B followed the AP to the resident’s room. The AP administered the medication. LPN-B stated later, while still doing the medication pass, another resident with a similar name notified LPN-B she needed her injection. At that time, LPN-B realized the medication error made. LPN-B and the AP went to the medication refrigerator where the medication was stored, and discovered the medication was given to the wrong resident. During an interview, the licensed assisted living director (LALD) stated she was notified by the AP of the error the same day. The LALD later stated in an email communication to the investigator that she was out of state when the error occurred and was notified of the error upon her return to the facility. The LALD stated the internal investigation concluded staff were going too fast during medication pass and both made assumptions the other made the safety checks already. The LALD stated LPN-B and the AP received retraining after the incident. During an interview, a family member stated he was told by staff different versions of the incident. The family member stated he did not feel the resident was safe in the facility. 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.

Complaint Investigation
No findings

Plain-language summary

Minnesota Department of Health investigated a complaint that facility staff failed to provide incontinence care and did not administer medications after the resident's hospital discharge, resulting in rehospitalization. The investigation found the complaint inconclusive because of missing documentation and conflicting information—the facility could not document open wounds from incontinence care or confirm whether medications were delivered and administered after the resident returned from her first hospitalization. The resident was hospitalized twice during this period and was ultimately transferred to another facility for higher-level care.

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 staff failed to provide incontinent care, leading to open wounds. Facility staff also failed to administer medication according to hospital discharge orders, requiring rehospitalization. Investigative Findings and Conclusion: The Minnesota Department of Health determined neglect was inconclusive. Due to lack of documentation and conflicting information, it is unable to be determined if the resident sustained open wounds due to a lack of incontinence care. When staff observed a change in the resident’s condition, the resident was assessed and sent to the hospital for further evaluation. The resident admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and discharged back to the facility. No documentation was available to identify the resident’s condition or care provided following her return to the facility. Three days later, the resident was readmitted to the hospital. It is unable to be determined if the cause of the rehospitalization was directly related to the facility not administering the resident’s medications. An equal opportunity employer. The investigator conducted interviews with facility staff members, including administrative staff, nursing staff, and unlicensed staff. The investigator also contacted the resident’s case manager. The investigation included review of resident medical records, personnel files, and facility policies and procedures. At the time of the onsite visit, the investigator toured the facility and observed interactions between staff and residents. The resident resided in an assisted living memory care unit. The resident’s diagnoses included vascular dementia, type 2 diabetes, and atrial fibrillation. The resident’s service plan included assistance with medication administration, dressing, toileting, and safety checks. The resident’s assessment indicated the resident was forgetful and orientated to self, due to dementia. Review of the resident’s medical record indicated the resident had a history of refusals of incontinent care. The resident’s medical record included no documentation or evidence of open wounds or skin integrity concerns. The resident’s progress notes identified one day the resident was vomiting and having loose stools. The facility nurse assessed the resident and crackles were noted in the resident’s lungs. The resident was sent to the hospital for evaluation. The resident’s hospital records indicated the resident was diagnosed with septic shock from pneumonia, admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) for six days, and discharged back to the facility. Facility records lacked documentation of the resident’s return to the facility. Documentation identified the resident received services upon her readmission but did not identify which services were provided. The resident’s medical record did not contain assessment of the resident’s condition upon her return to the facility. The medical record did not identify new monitoring, medications, or treatments required or provided following the resident’s hospital stay and subsequent return to the facility. There was no record of medication administered to the resident, but the record indicated medications were not delivered to the facility upon her return. Pharmacy records reviewed included no record of the resident’s hospital discharge orders, change in medication orders, or delivery of medication to the facility. Hospital records identified the resident returned to the hospital three days after her previous discharge. There was no facility documentation identifying the resident’s condition or reason for transfer to the hospital. The resident’s hospital record indicated the resident returned to the hospital with complaints of nausea and vomiting. The resident was admitted and hospitalized for nine days for chronic heart failure, cardiomyopathy (a heart muscle disease), diabetes, and a heel pressure injury. Hospital records indicated lack of medication administration could not be directly correlated to the resident’s re-hospitalization. The resident’s status improved, and the resident discharged to another facility at the family member’s request. During an interview, facility unlicensed staff recalled the resident returned for a short time in between hospital admissions, but could not recall the resident’s condition, what care was provided, or if medications were administered. During an interview, a facility nurse confirmed the resident returned to the facility for three days before she was sent back to the hospital but could not recall any additional details surrounding the incident. During an interview, the case manager stated the resident discharged to a facility that could provide a higher level of care after the resident’s second hospitalization. In conclusion, the Minnesota Department of Health determined neglect was inconclusive. Inconclusive: Minnesota Statutes, section 626.5572, Subdivision 11.
