S1 also stated that there are two caregivers on the night shift with the ratio of residents being 1:8 per caregiver. S1 also stated that only one person had a fall in the facility, and it was R2. R2 fell at her bedside, R2 alerted staff by using the call light at 4:30am, and the caregiver came promptly and attended to the resident. S1 stated that an Unusual Incident Report (SIR: Dated 07/02/2024) was submitted to Community Care Licensing on 07/02/24. S2-S4 stated that they believed there was enough staff on the night shift. LPA reviewed the staff roster (Dated: 06/12/2024) and observed that there were two caregivers on the night shift from 11pm-7:30am. LPA reviewed the resident roster (Dated: July 2024) and observed the facility has 26 residents.
LPA interviewed R1-R5 about the allegation and 5 of 5 residents that were interviewed denied the allegation that the Facility does not ensure that there is sufficient staff on the premises to assist and monitor residents. All residents interviewed stated that they believe it is enough staff to meet the needs of the few residents in the facility. R2 stated that staff came promptly when R2 pressed the call light for assistance when R2 fell. All residents further state that they are happy with the care and supervision provided by the facility.
Based on interviews and records reviewed, there is insufficient evidence to support the allegation that the Facility does not ensure that there is sufficient staff on the premises to assist and monitor residents. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is Unsubstantiated.
