A physician's order to investigate a potential underlying medical cause was not completed, and access to pain relief equipment was delayed. The home has been ordered to educate staff on pain assessment procedures, meet with its care team to improve the resident's pain control, review and revise its pain management program, and document all training and actions taken.

  • Residents’ Bill Of RightsResidents' rights

    Inspectors found that the home did not ensure a resident's right to receive proper care was fully respected. On the date inspected, a resident was found positioned in a way that could have obstructed their airway.
