Findings
The facility failed to assess, intervene, and monitor when the Alleged Victim (AV) experienced a change of condition. AV complained of pain, blood in urine and was transported to the hospital in early December for treatment and diagnosed with a urinary tract infection. AV was prescribed an antibiotic and appeared back to baseline. Mid December, AV had blood and pus in his/her brief, noticed by staff, however, it was not documented and AV was not placed on alert for this concern and no assessment was completed until late December, when AV was sent to the hospital for treatment again. AV passed away after one day in the hospital from sepsis due to urinary tract infection. The facilities failures are a violation of resident rights, are considered neglect of care and constitute abuse.
