32 | Allegation: Insufficient Staff
Investigation Finding: Unsubstantiated
Upon records review and interviews, the RP asserted that during visits there was only 1 staff person present. The facility produced the staff schedule for the subject time period which illustrated a sufficient number of staff per the Appraisal Needs and Services available for the residents in care at the time. Neutral witnesses, including those who visited the facility in an official capacity, were unable to confirm the number of staff present during the subject time period. Although it was not possible to determine the sufficiency of staff present during the subject time period, during visit to the facility on 10/27/21 the Department found only 1 staff person present, which was not sufficient to meet the needs and services per the appraisals and Physician assessments for the residents in care. The facility is cited under a Case Management report dated 11/04/21.
Allegation: Staff do not provide activities for residents
Investigation Finding: Unsubstantiated
Per interviews, S1 stated that residents are encouraged by staff to engage in activities including gardening, walking around the inside of the facility & the backyard, watching television, reading, and games. This was corroborated by a resident who was identified as being mentally capable.
Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did occur, therefore the allegations are unsubstantiated.
Exit Interview conducted and a copy of this report provided to Administrator.
