Regarding the allegation, ‘Resident not assisted with medication as prescribed’, the complainant’s concerns is that they believe that resident #1 (R1) is constantly tired from R1’s medication, and is concerned that it is due to R1 being over medicated. LPA Walker conducted a medication review to determine if staff assisted with R1’s medication as prescribed. The LPA found that the medication count matched the number of pills remaining. Staff also confirmed that they assist with medication as it is prescribed. Based on the medication review, interviews, and record review for R1, there was no evidence found that R1 was not assisted with their medication as prescribed. Therefore, this allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time.

Regarding the allegation, ‘Facility staff not maintaining resident’s hygiene’, the complainant alleged that during a visit to the facility, R1 was observed with dirty nails. The complainant was concerned that R1’s had excrement under the fingernails. The LPA interviewed R1 and made an observation of R1’s nails and observed that R1’s hygiene is adequate. Staff interviews stated that all residents are bathed once a day. Interview with resident #2 (R2) revealed that residents are bathed once a day.

Based on interviews conducted with residents, staff, administrator, and family members, there was insufficient evidence to confirm the allegation. Therefore, this allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time.

Regarding the allegation, Call button not accessible to resident. The complainant’s concern was that R1 does not have a call button. Upon interviews with staff, and residents, it was revealed that none of the residents have a call button at the facility. Per Title 22 Regulation 87303(i) Maintenance and Operation: (1) All facilities licensed for 16 or more and all residential facilities having separate floors or buildings shall have a signal system which shall:(B) Transmit a visual and/or auditory signal to a central staffed location or produce an auditory signal at the living unit loud enough to summon staff. Based on facility records review, and physical plant tour, the above facility does not fall under this category for regulation 87303(i)(1)(B) due to it being a six (6) bed facility. Therefore, this allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time.

Regarding the allegation, ‘Resident provided with dirty drinking water’, the complainant alleged one (1) out of two (2) staff gave R1 dirty drinking water. The LPA attempted to obtain additional information regarding what constituted dirty drinking water; however, the complainant was not able to provide any additional information. The LPA observed the water in the facility and found that the facility has a contract with Sparkletts Water which delivers bi-weekly. The LPA observed staff providing water from the filter machine which dispensed the Sparklett water.

Based on observation by the LPA, interviews conducted with staff, residents, and R1’s family members, there is insufficient evidence to conclude this allegation. Therefore, this allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time.

Regarding the allegation, Facility staff does not check temperature prior to entering the facility. The complainant’s concern was that staff do not check visitor’s temperatures upon entry into the facility. During today’s visit, the LPA’s temperature was checked and logged before the LPA was allowed entrance into the facility. Interviews with staff confirmed that all visitor’s temperatures are checked and logged before entry into the facility. Based on documents collected, interviews, and the LPA’s observation, the facility is adhering to screening regulation per CDSS. Therefore, this allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated.

Exit interview conducted, a copy of report issued.
