32 | Resident left in soiled diapers for extended amount of time.
Department conducted interviews with staff and residents, records were reviewed, and facility observation was done to investigate this complaint allegation. Staff and residents interviewed on 9/12/23 indicated that staff were providing incontinence care to residents every 2 hours or as needed per their needs and service plan. Residents interviewed indicated that staff were not leaving them soiled for long times and staff aid with their incontinence care needs as needed. Based on this information, this allegation was found to be UNFOUNDED. A finding of unfounded means that the allegation is false, could not have happened and/or is without a reasonable basis.
Staff are not providing showers to residents in care.
Regarding the allegation that residents do not receive showers, LPA has toured the facility, met with several residents, spoken with staff, and reviewed documentation. In meeting with residents, all appear to be clean and groomed. In speaking with staff, LPA learned that residents are on a schedule to shower twice a week, some more often, depending on individual needs. Residents sometimes refuse to have a shower, and staff will then make several attempts during the shift to get them to shower, by trying later, having a different person try, etc. If the person does not have a shower when scheduled, staff let the next shift know. Overall, residents receive showers on a regular basis. Therefore, the allegation is UNFOUNDED. A finding of unfounded means that the allegation is false, could not have happened and/or is without a reasonable basis.
Staff do not respond to call bells in a timely manner.
The department conducted staff and residents' interviews, reviewed records to investigate the allegation. During residents’ interview, residents stated that staff respond to their call buttons in timely manner however sometimes there is a delay in response due to staff assisting other resident’s needs. During call button log review, the department did not observe any long/extended wait times from staff to respond to resident's call button, therefore this allegation is found to be UNFOUNDED. A finding of unfounded means that the allegation is false, could not have happened and/or is without a reasonable basis.
Exit interview conducted. Report left at facility. |
