Optalis Health Troy: Treatment Plan Violation - MI
The resident, identified in inspection records as R401, showed a change in condition on February 27, 2025. The therapy department flagged the new left-sided weakness the following day. The nurse practitioner who evaluated him recommended additional blood pressure monitoring. After that, nothing happened.
The facility did not reassess him. The nurse practitioner did not follow up. Two neurology appointments, scheduled for March 11 and March 12, were missed. When inspectors asked the Director of Nursing where documentation of the recommended blood pressure monitoring could be found, she said the facility had not done any follow-up on the suspected change in condition.
It was the neurologist, not the facility, who finally sent R401 to the emergency department on March 27, because a stroke was suspected. A CT scan completed that evening found a new lacunar infarct in the posterior limb of the right internal capsule, a finding that had not been present on imaging from November 2024.
The nurse practitioner, reached by phone during the inspection, said new left-sided weakness alone was not enough to consider a stroke, that more than one change would be needed. She was then asked whether she had reassessed R401 or informed the medical provider of his new condition. "I do not know," she said.
The Director of Nursing, when asked why R401 had not been sent to the hospital after reporting stroke symptoms, acknowledged he should have been, given the facility lacked the equipment to treat acute conditions. She also said she would investigate the two missed neurology appointments, though the inspection had already ended by the time any findings from that review could be provided.
The facility had no stroke protocol. R401 had a history of strokes and said he was having one. Nobody acted for a month.
