Allegation: Staff do not provide meal substitutions for residents in care.
R1 stated that R1 has a hard time eating and cannot eat the meat but the staff do not offer substitute. LPA reviewed R1's file which didn't indicate R1 cannot eat meat. Progress Notes from medical provider dated 9/30/24 showed approved diet order which includes food minced and soft. LPA observed during lunch other residents were served fried chicken, mixed vegetables, potato salad and fresh fruit while R1's was served fish fillet cut into small pieces served with tartar sauce, mixed vegetables, potato salad and fresh fruits. R1 told LPA that the fish fillet were hard; however, when LPA tested in front of R1, the fish fillets were soft. The 4 staff interviewed stated they provide substitute. One of these 4 stated stated that R1 began complaining of not wanting to eat meat about 4, 5 days ago, but R1 ate hamburger 2 days ago. R1 wants R1's food cut into pieces in front of R1, which the staff do. Therefore, the allegation is unfounded.
Allegation: Staff does not ensure facility has adequate food supply for residents in care.
The 3 staff stated that ADM does food shopping 2x a month which LPA confirmed with ADM. All these 4 staff stated they never run out of food supplies. LPA inspected the food supplies and observed more than adequate. Therefore, the allegation is unfounded.
Allegation: Licensee does not ensure staff receive training in CPR.
R1 stated the staff are not CPR certified and don't do anything when a resident is choking on food and will only give the residents water.
All staff interviewed stated there was no incident of resident choking. LPA has not received incident report from the facility indicating resident(s) choked. The staff interviewed stated that R1 thinks that when R5 coughs, R5 is choking. R5 observed R5 wearing mask and R5 stated she's coughing. During investigation, LPA heard R5 coughing. LPA checked the 5 staff records which showed all of them have current First Aid certificate. Therefore, the allegation is unfounded.
Based on interviews, records review, inspection and observation, the 3 allegations are closed as unfounded. A finding that the complaint is unfounded means that the allegation is false, could not have happened, and/or is without a reasonable basis.
No deficiency cited. Exit interview conducted and copy of this report provided.
