Findings
On or about February 19, 2021, Alleged Victim (AV) fell from a chair in the dining room suffering a laceration to his/her right hand, a dislocated shoulder, and a fracture to his/her humerus. An investigation determined that AV has a history of falls and cognitive deficits and that AV's care plan required the use of a pad alarm in AV's chair to alert staff that AV is moving around or attempting a transfer without assistance. At time of the incident, AV's pad alarm was not in the chair which AV fell from. The facility's failure to follow AV's care plan is a violation of resident rights, is considered neglect of care and constitutes abuse.
