Findings
The facility failed to intervene and timely seek medical treatment when the Alleged Victim (AV) experienced a change of condition, and the family requested testing for a urinary tract infection (UTI). For three weeks, the facility was unable to collect a urine sample, leaving the AV in pain from a UTI. AV was transported to the his/her primary care physician by family and was diagnosed with a UTI and given antibiotics. The facility's failure is a violation of resident rights, is considered neglect of care and constitutes abuse.
