13 | LPA Smith conducted an unannounced complaint visit and met with Earlene Martin.
The investigation shows that on the date in question 1/11/2020, the facility had 1 caregiver staff to 11 resident ratio during awake hours. The ratio of 1 caregiver per 11 residents during awake hours. There were 11 response times over 1 hour and 10 other response times that were over 30 minutes each, on the date in question. Title 22 requires sufficient staff to meet the needs of the residents. Response times of over 30 minutes x21 incidents does not meet this requirement. Thus, based on the investigation, this allegation is SUBSTANTIATED.
As a result of this investigation, LPA finds the allegation that the facility lacks sufficient staff to be able to meet residents' needs on a timely basis to be SUBSTANTIATED. A finding that the complaint is Substantiated means that the allegation is valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met.
The following deficiencies were cited on 9099-D, per Title 22 Regulations, Division 6. |
