- Result

- Findings
- On or about August 3, 2021, the Alleged Victim (AV) was noted to have been given a shower by staff. Later that same day, Home Health found AV to have dried fecal matter in AV's pubic area, to the degree that Home Health had to cut AV's hair in chunks to remove the fecal matter in order to access AV's catheter to provide care. Fecal matter around AV's catheter places AV at risk for harm, due to AV having a history of urinary tract infections. The facility's failure is a violation of resident rights, is considered neglect of care and constitutes abuse.
