Complaint Investigation
No findings

Plain-language summary

A complaint investigation found that while one resident did push another resident, causing fractures that required hospitalization, the facility was not found to have neglected the residents because there had been no prior incidents indicating the resident who pushed would harm others, and the resident's service plan included appropriate interventions for her documented agitation. The facility immediately responded when staff discovered the incident, called 911, and transferred the resident who caused the injury out of the facility that same evening. The Minnesota Department of Health took no further action.

MDH substantiated maltreatment or licensing violation finding

Full inspector notes

Finding: Substantiated, individual responsibility 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), a facility unlicensed caregiver, abused the resident when the AP placed a restraint on the resident while in her Broda chair. Investigative Findings and Conclusion: The Minnesota Department of Health determined abuse was substantiated. The AP, an unlicensed caregiver, was responsible for the maltreatment. The AP intentionally secured a gait belt on the resident restraining her in a Broda chair causing unreasonable confinement. The investigator conducted interviews with facility staff members, including management staff, nursing staff, and unlicensed staff. The investigator contacted the resident’s family member. The investigation included review of the resident record, facility internal investigation, facility incident reports, personnel files, staff schedules, and related facility policy and procedures Also, 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 Alzheimer’s disease. The resident’s service plan included assistance with safety checks and redirection as needed. The resident’s assessment indicated the resident was disoriented, had frequent anxiety, and had chronic pain. The resident required hands-on assistance for transferring and needed assistive devices for mobility and ambulation. The resident did have a history of falls and used a Broda chair (a wheelchair designed to prevent pressure sores, falls, slumping, and sliding out of the chair). The resident was enrolled in hospice. One day, the resident was found by a family member with a gait belt around her while seated in a Broda chair. The family member notified unlicensed caregivers, the gait belt was immediately removed, and no injuries were noted. During an interview, a manager stated during the internal investigation the AP stated she placed the gait belt on the resident because the resident was leaning, and the AP thought she would fall forward out of the chair, so she placed a gait belt around the resident’s waist to keep her safe. The manager stated the AP said she had not tried other interventions before placing the gait belt on the resident. The manager reiterated the AP was trained upon hire two months before the incident the facility was “zero tolerance” restraint free facility. The AP’s employment was then terminated. During an interview, unlicensed caregiver #1 stated the family member notified her the resident had a gait belt around her in the Broda chair. Unlicensed caregiver #1 immediately removed the gait belt, transferred her to a recliner, and observed the resident had no injuries. Unlicensed caregiver #1 stated she was not aware of the AP ever using a gait belt as a restraint before and did not work with the AP after that day. Unlicensed caregiver #1 reported additional training was provided to all staff regarding restraints abuse and vulnerable adult reporting after the incident. During an interview, unlicensed caregiver #2 stated after the family member notified unlicensed caregivers, the resident was found with the gait belt around the resident’s waist and secured in the back where the resident could not remove the gait belt. Unlicensed caregiver #2 stated she saw the AP grab her things and walk out the door, leaving without giving report or completing walking rounds which was normal practice at the facility. During an interview, the AP indicated she was mandated to stay and work a twelve-hour shift. The AP stated she was trying to provide care to other residents and the resident was leaning forward and was afraid the resident would fall forward out of the chair and hurt herself, so she placed a gait belt around the resident in the chair to prevent her falling forward out of the Broda chair. The AP stated she did not try other interventions before placing the gait belt around the resident’s waist. The AP stated she did not secure the belt but placed it as a reminder for the resident to not lean forward in the Broda chair. The AP stated she alerted her coworkers the gait belt was on the resident when her shift was over, however the AP could not remember the staff member’s name. During an interview, the family member reported they found the resident in a common area sitting in her Broda chair with a belt around her waist that was secured in a way the resident could not have removed independently. The family member notified the unlicensed caregivers who removed the belt as soon as it was brought to their attention, assessed the resident for injuries, and there were none. The family member stated they had not seen a restraint used in the facility before that incident nor since. In conclusion, the Minnesota Department of Health determined abuse was substantiated. Substantiated: Minnesota Statutes, section 626.5572, Subdivision 19. “Substantiated” means a preponderance of evidence shows that an act that meets the definition of maltreatment occurred. Abuse: Minnesota Statutes section 626.5572, subdivision 2.

Complaint Investigation
No findings

Plain-language summary

A complaint investigation found that the facility failed to document skin checks and interventions for a resident with significant swelling and skin breakdown, and could not determine whether staff actually provided care or notified the physician about the resident's condition; the resident was later hospitalized with multiple pressure injuries and skin tears that required emergency care. The investigation concluded that neglect was inconclusive because the lack of documentation made it impossible to confirm whether maltreatment occurred, though facility policies and records showed gaps in monitoring and communication about the resident's declining skin integrity.

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 a resident when the facility failed to assess, monitor, and implement interventions for multiple skin concerns. Investigative Findings and Conclusion: The Minnesota Department of Health determined neglect was inconclusive. The Minnesota Department of Health determined neglect was inconclusive. The facility consistently failed to document skin checks and interventions, despite the resident being at risk for skin break down due to edema and incontinence. However, due to the lack of documentation it is unknown if interventions were provided or if the physician was notified. It could not be determined if maltreatment occurred. The investigator conducted interviews with facility staff members, including nursing staff, and unlicensed staff. The investigation included review of facility policies and procedures, resident, and hospital records. An equal opportunity employer. The resident resided in an assisted living facility. The resident’s diagnoses included history of leukemia, anemia, and edema (swelling). The resident’s service plan included assistance with activities of daily living, toileting, bathing, escorts to meals, medication administration, and application of ace wraps to lower legs. The resident’s assessment indicated the resident’s skin was intact, but the resident was at risk for skin breakdown related to incontinence. The assessment did not identify lower extremity edema or application of ace wraps. The treatment and therapy plan indicated the resident did not receive any treatment or therapies. Approximately one month prior to hospitalization, the resident’s medical record indicated the resident experienced a significant change in condition and required assistance with all activities of daily living. The resident’s legs were weeping (fluid leaking from legs, often due to swelling) and a dressing was placed to the weeping area. The record also indicated the resident had multiple weeks of incontinent diarrhea. The record did not include documentation of physician notification or new orders. One week prior to hospitalization, a quarter sized area was noted on the resident’s right buttocks. The resident’s medical record did not include documentation of physician notification, interventions, or changes to the resident services. The resident’s Services Provided document was blank, it is unknown what cares were provided by facility staff. The resident’s medication administration record (MAR) indicated staff applied ace wraps to both legs but did not identify treatments for the resident’s weeping legs or buttocks wound. Hospital records indicated the resident was sent to the hospital for weakness and failure to thrive. The records indicated the resident had a recent and fast decline in functional status and the facility was no longer able to provide the care required to meet her needs. The resident arrived in the emergency department with an unstageable pressure injury (unable to see the wound bed) on the resident’s left buttocks measuring 1.5 x 1.2 x 1.8 centimeters (cm), along with multiple other skin issues including skin tears to both wrists and an open area on the resident’s right lower leg. A discharge summary completed by the facility, one week following the resident’s hospitalization, indicated the resident had a right buttocks pressure ulcer, a skin tear to her right arm, and significant edema that was difficult to manage. The summary indicated the resident was incontinent throughout the day which contributed to the pressure ulcer. The summary further indicated the resident experienced a sharp decline in health status and was hospitalized. During an interview, unlicensed personnel (ULP) recalled the resident had “leaky legs” and ace wraps had to be changed frequently. The ULP indicated she was trained on the application of ace wraps but not trained on how to care for the open areas of skin. The ULP could not recall if the resident had a pressure ulcer. During an interview, the licensed practical nurse (LPN) stated the resident’s legs were both weeping. The LPN said the facility requested an order for ace wraps, but no orders were provided. The LPN was unaware if the physician was notified of the resident’s edema and weeping legs. The LPN also indicated the family was very involved in the resident’s care and would initiate treatments without notifying the facility. The LPN could not recall if the resident had a pressure ulcer prior to hospitalization. During an interview, the registered nurse (RN) stated he was only aware of one time the resident’s legs were weeping. The RN said the LPN oversaw treatments and provision of direct resident care. The RN was not aware of the resident having any skin concerns. The RN stated if there were skin integrity concerns, the physician should have been notified. The RN did not know if the physician was notified regarding the resident’s change in condition or open area on the residents’ buttocks since it was not documented. The RN also indicated the resident was taken to the physician frequently by family members. During an interview, the resident’s family member stated the resident was independent with activities of daily living until one month prior to hospitalization. The family member stated the resident had leukemia that was progressing and developed heart failure, causing the resident legs to swell. The family member stated there was no consistency or accuracy with staff wrapping the resident’s legs and was surprised the facility did not check the resident’s skin more often. The family members said the physician was aware of the resident’s leg swelling, change in condition, and pressure ulcer. The resident’s family member was trying to get the resident admitted into a higher level of care facility prior to the hospitalization. The resident’s family member thought the resident was seen by a physician approximately two weeks prior to hospitalization.
