“The Minnesota Department of Health determined neglect was not substantiated.”

The resident was diagnosed with COVID-19 one week prior to the fall causing a decline including decreased intake, weakness, and increased pain requiring the use of a wheelchair. When the unwitnessed fall occurred, the resident was assessed for injuries by nursing with none noted. The resident was admitted to hospice related to Alzheimer's disease. The resident's record of death indicated the resident died of natural causes related to Alzheimer's dementia.”

“The Minnesota Department of Health determined abuse was not substantiated.”

Summary: MDH looked into an allegation and found: abuse not substantiated.

MDH’s conclusion, as written: “The Minnesota Department of Health determined abuse was not substantiated. The AP sent a Snapchat photo to another staff member that showed the resident in the bathroom, and although the actions were disrespectful and unprofessional, there was not a preponderance of evidence it met the definition of abuse. The Snapchat photo was sent to only one person and did not have any additional context or text with it. The AP admitted to sending the picture but stated it was an accident and she didn't realize the resident was in the picture.”

Action taken by facility: “The facility reported the incident to MAARC. The AP was terminated. Staff were retrained on social media policies.”

Action taken by MDH: “No further action taken at this time.”
