Findings
On or about March 24, 2021, the Alleged Victim (AV) attempted to self-transfer from his/her wheelchair to a dining chair and fell. AV appeared to only have a skin tear to his/her arm and an abrasion to his/her knee. AV began to complain of pain later, calling out in pain. Over the counter pain reliever was given to AV, however, it was not effective. AV was in continual pain all night and the next morning was transferred to the hospital and diagnosed with a hip fracture. The facility failed to provide timely medical treatment to a change of condition. The facility's failure is a violation of resident rights, is considered neglect of care and constitutes abuse.
