32 | Continuation - Page 2 of 2 Complaint Investigation
When LPA interviewed ED, ED stated that RP had sent photo to ED and ED instructed staff to throw the trash away immediately. ED stated that trash was from care staff cleaning up a resident's room. Majority of memory care residents do not have their own bathrooms, it is shared. The care staff throws the solid disposable linens in the trash, then housekeeper comes and pick up the trash during the day to be dispose. However, during the evening and graveyard shift, care staff is responsible to take the trash out.
When LPA interviewed S1, S1 stated that S1 is the housekeeper and does take out the trash in the bathroom twice before end of shift. S1 stated that there are 17 shared bathrooms and S1 is responsible for all housekeeping duties during the day, S1 will have to take multiple trips to the large trash bin at times. S1 did mentioned that care staff throws the soil items in the trash bins in the bathroom and S1 will go around and pick it up for disposal.
When LPA reviewed documents, morning schedule is covered for housekeeping duties and evenings/graveyard will be the care staff schedule to do parts of the housekeeping. LPA reviewed log, per shift has 3 signatures to check on the restrooms. When LPA conducted unannounced tele-visit, LPA did not observe an full trash bins.
Based on the interviews conducted, tele-visit for observation, and records reviewed, LPA found the allegation to be unsubstantiated. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur.
