Findings
On or about February 16, 2023, the Alleged Victim (AV) returned from the hospital after a fall, resulting in a femur fracture. AV was prescribed pain medication to be given every four hours. AV did not receive any pain medication after returning from the hospital until 8:30 pm the next day, going approximately 10 hours without pain medication, leaving AV in unreasonable discomfort. The facility's failure to provide AV's pain medication as ordered is a violation of resident rights, is considered neglect of care and constitutes abuse.
