During the investigation, on 05/02/23 Donna Gurriere, LPA conducted a walk through of the kitchen to determine if there was an adequate amount of food. During the visit, it was noted that the cook was providing lunch to include a large slice of chicken, macaroni and cheese and cold slaw. The food was prepared, and appropriate amounts of portions were provided. The residents were having vanilla shakes for dessert. Staff were interviewed and all staff reported that they have observed and felt that there was an appropriate amount of food that was being provided daily to include three meals a day and snacks. Additionally, it was reported that the facility always has additional food to include second helpings, left over foods and anytime meals of grill cheese sandwiches, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, crackers, etc. It was reported that throughout the day residents are offered snacks to include bananas, pudding, left over desserts and fruits.

A resident’s weight records were reviewed, and the records indicated that during the time of January through June 2023, the resident’s weight fluctuated by approximately five pounds. In June 2023 the resident was placed in hospice care and her weight has gone down by 10 pounds, which is understandable since it was reported that the resident is on hospice and at times refuses to eat meals.

Due to the information above, CCL finds the allegation to be Unsubstantiated meaning that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred.

Staff did not assist residents with self-administration of medication.

Documents were received to include the residents Physician Report, Admission Agreement, medications list, care tracking sheet and weight records.

During the investigation, the staff persons were interviewed, and reported that staff do assist the residents with self-administration of medication. Staff advised that when the medication technician passes the medication to the residents, the medication technicians are to standby the resident to ensure that the resident takes and swallows the medication.

Due to the information above, CCL finds the allegation to be Unsubstantiated meaning that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred.
