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 failed to do a well check on the resident at the end of her shift as required by the care plan. Investigative Findings and Conclusion: The Minnesota Department of Health determined neglect was substantiated. The AP, who was an unlicensed caregiver, was responsible for the maltreatment. She documented she completed a well check near the end of her shift meanwhile the resident had left his apartment, exited the building, fallen outside, and required hospitalization when he was found by staff members arriving for the night shift. The investigator conducted interviews with facility staff members, including administrative staff, nursing staff, and unlicensed staff. The investigator contacted the resident's family member. The investigation included review of resident's records, the AP’s personnel record, facility's policies and procedures, incident reports, and the resident's external medical record.

The facility incident report indicated the resident was found lying on the ground of the outside the facility at 10:55 p.m. when an unlicensed caregiver pulled in the parking lot to work the night shift. The same document indicated the resident was found lying on the ground on his back. The resident could not state what happened but complain of being “freezing” cold. The unlicensed caregiver called 911 and updated the on-call facility nurse. Two days prior to the incident report indicated the resident fell and sustained a skin tear. The same document indicated the resident had safety well checks at night. The resident’s medical record indicated the facility added an additional well check near the end of the end of the evening shift at 22:00 (10:00 p.m.) the next day as part of his routine. The next scheduled well check was scheduled for 12:00 midnight during the night shift. The same document indicated the AP documented completed the scheduled well check one day prior to the incident. On the same day as the incident the facility schedule indicated the AP worked from 2:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on the evening shift. The resident’s medical record indicated the AP documented she provided the night cares, grooming assistant and escort the resident to meal at 9:40 p.m. On the same night as the incident the resident’s medical record indicated the AP documented completing the well check at approximately 10:30 p.m. near the end of the evening shift. During an interview, a management staff member stated she had reviewed surveillance footage from the evening of the incident. The management staff member stated the footage showed the resident walking out of his apartment at 9:40 p.m. She commented that it was not unusual for the resident to go outside, it was unusual for him to do so in the evening. The same video did not show the AP go to the resident’s room for the last well check of the evening shift. The manager stated the video itself was no longer available, but she had reviewed it. During an interview, the registered nurse stated she received a call from an oncoming staff member at 11 p.m. that the resident had been found outside on his back. The nurse stated the resident had a history of falls and checks were one of the interventions used to address this. During an interview, a staff member #1 stated all the staff knew the resident well checks. She said she worked on the night the incident happened. She stated she saw the AP got into her car and left without looking back when she knew the resident fell and was found outside. During an interview, a staff member #3 confirmed she conducted a well check on the resident every two hours as scheduled. She also verified the resident was alert and oriented. She mentioned she had never seen him go outside at night. During the investigation, the investigator was unable to interview the AP despite multiple attempts. In conclusion, the Minnesota Department of Health determined neglect was substantiated.
