Findings and Recommendations 4 findings
F1
On July 25, 2013, hospice contacted APS to investigate a case of suspected elder abuse involving a man dying of colon cancer. The formal procedure for filling out an SOC-341 indicated an immediate response was warranted under the conditions described.
No recommendations for this finding
F2
Because of an error on the Response Priority Decision Tree, neither the elder nor his caretaker was contacted in time to conduct an investigation of abuse before the elder died five days later.
No recommendations for this finding
F3
Hospice clearly stated the danger to the abused elder in their initial contact with APS on July 25, 2013. APS was again contacted by hospice on July 26, 2013 and July 29, 2013 to emphasize their concerns.
No recommendations for this finding
F4
A subsequent internal investigation conducted by APS confirmed that the failure to respond was due to an error in completing the Response Priority Decision Tree.
No recommendations for this finding
