32 | Regarding the allegation it was alleged that facility failed to provide residents with hygiene supplies. Staff interviews revealed that the facility has always had paper supplies and supplies are replenished at the end of the month. Staff negated claims that the facility was out of toilet paper at any point in time and communicated that they were responsible for ensuring that all bathrooms were stocked with toilet paper. If supplies run low, they can be ordered as needed. The staff are responsible for reporting to the administrator when supplies are needed. Staff mentioned that one resident room had an attached bathroom, and that the bathroom is always stocked with an adequate amount of toilet paper. Staff claim that residents are provided with toilet paper when requested, and that the surplus toilet paper is kept in storage. Staff checks all bathrooms every morning in addition to their daily cleaning routine. Staff claim that additional surplus of toilet paper is not kept in resident bathrooms to mitigate toilet clogging when residents overuse of toilet paper.
During the tour the LPA observed toilet paper in the supply closet and in all bathrooms.
Based on the investigation there is insufficient evidence to support the claim that the facility does not provide residents with hygiene supplies. This allegation is deemed unsubstantiated at this time.
No deficiencies cited regarding the complaint. Case management visit issued to address deficiencies cited during today's visit which are unrelated to the complaint.
Exit interview conducted and a copy of the report was issued. |
