- Findings
- The facility failed to ensure supervision and staff support regarding care and services as it related to the Alleged Victim (AV) and his/her needs regarding skin breakdown and care of pressure sores. AV was to have a special air bed ordered and put in place. It was ordered, however, it was never put in place until weeks later when it was found by staff in the corner of AV's room. AV's wounds were worsened by not being turned timely and by not having the air bed in place weeks earlier as requested by AV's physician. The facility failed to have enough staff in place to meet the needs of AV. The facility's failures are a violation of resident rights, are considered neglect of care and constitute abuse.
