Findings
The facility failed to assure timely medical treatment when the Alleged Victim (AV) experienced a significant change of condition. AV was transported to the hospital where it was determined he/she was septic due to a skin ulcer that was undetected by facility staff. As a result of delayed medical attention, AV was not provided the opportunity to receive potential lifesaving medications/treatment and he/she was not expected to recover. AV passed away a few days after being admitted into intensive care. The facility’s failure is a violation of resident rights, is considered neglect of care and constitutes abuse.
