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 it failed to recognize a stroke in a resident. Investigative Findings and Conclusion: The Minnesota Department of Health determined neglect was not substantiated. The resident did suffer a stroke; however, it was unclear when the stroke actually occurred. When the resident developed clear symptoms indicative of a stroke, the facility assessed and sought care appropriately. The investigator conducted interviews with facility staff members, including administrative staff, nursing staff, and unlicensed staff. The investigator contacted case workers and family members. The investigation included review of the resident record, schedules, related facility policy and procedures. Also, the investigator observed staff interactions with other staff, residents and visitors. The resident resided in an assisted living memory care unit. The resident’s diagnoses included Parkinson’s disease, schizophrenia, and high blood pressure. The resident’s service plan included assistance with dressing, showering, incontinence cares, safety checks and medication management. The resident’s assessment indicated he was unsteady with walking at times related to his Parkinson’s. One day, the resident went to play bingo in the common area with other residents. A manager noted he seemed a little off, not quite himself. The resident complained of not being able to see the bingo card well and stated he did not feel well. The manager escorted the resident back to his room and reported the concern to the nurse. The nurse asked the unlicensed personal to take a set of vitals, which were reported as normal. The nurse then did a covid test on the resident, which was negative and offered the resident pop and crackers. The next day, unlicensed personal reported to the nurse that the resident had slurred speech and did not feel well. The nurse called the family member who wanted to talk to the resident before any decision was made about the resident. Sometime later that day, the family talked with the resident and made the determination the resident should be sent to the hospital. The nurse called for non-emergent transfer of the resident to the hospital. During an interview, the nurse stated she tested the resident for Covid because there were other cases of Covid in the building. After the resident’s family had contacted the resident, the resident was sent to the hospital. During an interview, the family member stated when they received the call from the nurse about the resident, she wanted to talk to the resident before making a decision about sending the resident to confirm what she was being told. The family member also stated she was unable to call the resident back immediately, however once she did, she decided to request transfer to the hospital. In conclusion, the Minnesota Department of Health determined neglect 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 Family/Responsible Party interviewed: Yes Alleged Perpetrator interviewed: Yes the Action taken by facility: The facility unlicensed staff updated the nurse appropriately. Initially, the facility’s assessment included a test for Covid. The facility assessed the resident, contacted family, and arranged for transportation to the hospital. Action taken by the Minnesota Department of Health: The facility was found to be in noncompliance.
