32 | The investigation revealed the following:
Allegation: Resident developed an infection while in care due to staff neglect.It is alleged that a resident has developed a very bad skin infection because staff do not change their diapers at night. LPA interviewed 4 residents and 3 residents denied the allegation and stated that they have never had an infection, and that they are changed at night around 9-10pm (before bed) and if a change is needed throughout the night they can ask a staff to assist with no issues. LPA interviewed 5 staff and each denied the allegation and stated that diapers are changed regularly and they have never seen a resident have an infection due to lack of proper diaper changes.
Allegation: Staff do not ensure that residents' diapering needs are met.It is alleged that staff leave residents in wet diapers all night. LPA interviewed 4 residents and 3 residents (all that require incontinence care) denied the allegation and stated that they are changed at night around 9-10pm (before bed) and if a change is needed throughout the night they can ask a staff to assist with no issues. LPA interviewed 5 staff and each denied the allegation, interviews with S2-S3 revealed that they are the morning staff that conducts the first morning rounds for residents and have never observed a resident to be neglected by night staff in this way, interview with night staff S4-S5 stated that they conducted rounds regular at night and have never left a resident with soiled diapers at night or day.
Allegation: Licensee did not complete an individual written admission agreement upon acceptance of resident.It is alleged that R1 has never been provided/signed an Admission Agreement since moving in. Per interview with S1 it was confirmed that R1 moved in late in the evening on 1/24/26, due to how late the resident arrived the admission paperwork was not completed that night, S1 stated that they spoke with R1 and their mom the next day on 1/25/26 and spoke to them about the facility and went over the admission agreement and informed them both that the admission agreement needed to be reviewed and signed. LPA obtained proof of several attempts made via text and email to the resident and their mom to sign the admission agreement as early as 1/29/26, however, both parties avoided signing the agreement until 2/6/26 when S1 was finally able to sit with R1 and obtain the signatures on the agreement. Per file review R1 is self-responsible and can make their own financial decisions, there is no POA assigned for R1.
Based on statements and interviews conducted with staff/residents, review of resident files, facility file records, and LPA observations, there was not enough supportive evidence to concur with the reported allegations. 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. Exit interview held, and a copy of this report was provided
