32 | Allegation: Staff did not seek medical attention in a timely manner.
It was alleged that a resident had experienced two falls on the same day and staff members failed to seek medical attention for that individual. The complainant in this matter was unsure of the name of the resident, the number of the resident’s apartment at the facility, or the exact date of when the falls occurred. A physical description of the resident was provided; however, the resident was unable to be positively identified.
No staff interviewed were able to determine which resident this allegation may have been referring to.
Although the allegation may have happened, the preponderance of evidence has not been met, and the allegation is therefore UNSUBSTANTIATED.
Allegation: Residents do not have access to personal hygiene items
It was alleged that there was a significant shortage in personal hygiene items at the facility including, but not limited to, toothbrushes, lotion, hairbrushes , briefs, and personal wipes. During a facility inspection on June 18, 2025, LPA and Administrator conducted a tour of the facility. LPA observed a large closet full of excess wipes, briefs, and basic toiletries available for residents. Additionally, LPA observed residents’ personal toiletries that were kept in individual caddies for staff to use while assisting residents.
Six (6) of six (6) staff interviewed stated they have never observed any resident to go without briefs, wipes or basic toiletries. Staff stated that most resident's families provide any supplies they may need for the month and it is recorded on a log in the facility lobby. Any resident who's supplies were running low, staff notified the families. LPA observed a supply order list for the previous three months that contained toiletry items, multiple packages of briefs, anad multiple packages of wipes. LPA observed a "supply drop - off list" dated for the previous three months that had dozens of entries from family members dropping off supplies.
Although the allegation may have happened, the preponderance of evidence has not been met, and the allegation is therefore UNSUBSTANTIATED. |
