| 11460 | MCDOWELL NURSING AND REHABILITATION CENTER, LLC | 515162 | PO BOX 220 | GARY | WV | 24836 | 2010-11-18 | 225 | E | FROJ11 | . Based on review of facility documents, family interview, and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure allegations of abuse, neglect, and misappropriation of resident property were reported and investigated in accordance with State law for three (3) of three (3) allegations reviewed. Resident identifiers: #26, #105, and #44. Facility census: 104. Findings include: a) Resident #26 Review of facility documents found that, on 09/23/10, Resident #44 complained to the social worker (Employee #88) that she had given a check received from her daughter for $150.00 to a staff member to deposit into her resident trust account. The resident further stated the check was never credited to her account. On 09/24/10, Employee #88 reached the following conclusion: "Resident was unable to give specifics of check nor exact time and place when check was allegedly given to (staff). No evidence in place to support existence of check." Further review found this resident's allegation of misappropriation of property had been handled as an in-house complaint and was not reported to State officials, including the State survey and certification agency, as required. Employee #88 was asked if he had called to daughter to determine whether she had provided the resident with a check for $150.00 prior to reaching this conclusion. He stated, on the afternoon of 11/17/10, he had not contacted the resident's daughter. After this prompting, Employee #88 contacted the resident's daughter and determined the daughter had sent the resident a check for $150.00 on 07/05/10, and the check had been deposited to the resident's account on 09/14/10. The facility failed to assure this allegation of misappropriation of resident property was immediately reported and thoroughly investigated as required. -- b) Resident #105 During an interview on 10/27/10 at 3:45 p.m., a family member stated that, while his mother was a resident at the facility, he had visited and found her soaked with urine. He stated he reported this to the administrator. An interview with the administrator, on 11/17/10 at 4:00 p.m., confirmed Resident #105's family member had complained to her of finding his mother wet. The administrator could provide no evidence that this allegation of neglect had been reported and a thorough investigation conducted. -- c) Resident #44 Review of facility documents found Resident #44 reported that, on 09/02/10, she had asked a nursing assistant to put her in bed, and the nursing assistant pushed her down in the bed by her shoulder. Further review found no evidence that any investigation into the validity of this resident's allegation had been conducted by the facility. The facility could provide no evidence that a statement had been obtained from the alleged perpetrator, the resident, or other staff members working at the time the alleged incident occurred. Additionally, it was determined that the required five-day follow-up report had not been faxed until 09/11/10. . | 2014-03-01 |
