32 | Allegation – Staff did not safeguard resident’s personal items. It is alleged that the staff did not clean the rooms prior to moving residents into a new room, leaving behind belongings from the past residents. Per Administrator, the rooms are inspected and thoroughly cleaned before moving a resident into a new room. All items belonging to previous residents are either moved to a storage room or family members pick up the items but not left in the room. Staff interviewed also stated that they do not and cannot move a resident to a new room without cleaning the room first. Residents interviewed stated that their rooms were cleaned when they moved in and no items belonging to a previous resident were left there. Based on information obtained from interviews, there is insufficient evidence to corroborate this allegation.
Allegation – Facility is in disrepair. It is alleged that the air conditioning has mold, the air conditioning on the 2nd floor is leaking, and there is missing lighting throughout the facility. The Administrator stated that the housekeepers wipe down the rooms every day including the air conditioners. She did not notice or hear from others regarding any missing lightings nor leaks from the air conditioners. The maintenance staff indicated that the resident’s rooms are deep cleaned twice a month in which he would wipe down the drawers, thoroughly clean the vents, and check the air conditioner for any leaks. Staff interviewed stated that they have not seen any mold nor leaks on the air conditioners recently and have not noticed any missing lighting. Staff indicated that if there are any maintenance issues at the facility, they would report it to the maintenance staff right away to repair the issue or request service from the vendor. All 4 residents interviewed stated that they have not seen any mold nor leaks in the air conditioners. They also feel that the facility has sufficient lighting. Based on information obtained from interviews, there is insufficient evidence to corroborate this allegation.
Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED.
An exit interview was conducted with the Administrator. A copy of this report was sent via email for a signature and a copy of the appeal rights was also provided. |
