Findings
On or about September 18, 2020, the Alleged Victim (AV) was taking a shower and fell, causing injury to his/her head. Facility staff did not follow the care plan to place water shoes on AV while showering. After the fall, facility staff did not feel that AV needed to be sent to the hospital even though AV had red marks on his/her face and it was evident that AV did hit his/her head during the fall. AV's family took him/her to the hospital where he/she was diagnosed with a brain bleed, a broken nose and facial contusions from the fall. The facility's failure to follow the care plan and seek immediate medical help for the AV is a violation of resident rights, is considered neglect of care and constitutes abuse.
