32 | 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.
