Resident at Global Point Senior Living Found Unresponsive In Room
The Minnesota Department of Health determined neglect was substantiated against Global Point Senior Living.
The facility, Global Point Senior Living, was responsible for the maltreatment. The unlicensed caregiver #1 and #2 failed to perform a wellness check on the resident and falsely documented that they did so on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Additionally, an office assistant received a call from the resident’s family, who had requested a wellness check after not hearing from the resident for three days. However, the office assistant did not relay the message to an unlicensed caregiver for almost three hours. The resident was later found unresponsive and was sent to the hospital for further evaluation, where he passed away two days later due to a stroke
According to excerpts from the MDH report, during an interview, a family member stated the last time they spoke with the resident was on Friday afternoon. The family member stated they were unable to reach him on Saturday and Sunday. Finally, on Monday, they contacted Global Point, around noon to request that staff check on him.
