According to an investigation, on or about February 17, 2024, the AV was observed leaning in their wheelchair. The AV was not assisted to the table and a non-slip pad was not placed in the wheelchair. The AV was left unattended in a common area, resulting in a fall with an injury to the bridge of the nose. The facility failed to follow the AV’s care plan. The facility's failure is a violation of resident rights, is considered neglect of care, and constitutes abuse.
