Findings
Alleged Victim (AV) relies on the facility for his/her care. On or about June 3, 2022, AV was sent to the hospital due to swelling and shortness of breath. AV returned on June 3, 2022, with order to increase his/her Furosemide to 40mg twice daily for next two days. AV was given the increased dose of Furosemide twice on June 4, 2022, but not on June 5, 2022. The order from the doctor was not followed correctly and as a result, AV’s legs were swollen, and he/she did feel “crappy” when the medication was missed. The facility failed to administer medication as ordered, which is a violation of resident rights, is neglect of care and constitutes abuse.
