32 | Allegation: Staff did not make a reasonable effort to assist resident with lost personal belongings. It was alleged that on 5/13/26, when Resident #1 (R1) was relocated into a different bedroom within the faciltiy, R1 was unable to find a personal belonging (an ATM card) which R1 stated was in his room at the time of the move, and that staff did not assist R1 in locating the missing item.
LPA Comer's interview with R1 revealed the following: R1 stated to LPA Comer that he did not report, either to the Administrator, nor any other staff, that their ATM card was missing. Per R1, R1 never requested staff assistance to find their missing ATM card. R1 stated to LPA Comer that several days later, R1 found their ATM card in their wallet, which was stored inside a moving box.
LPA Comer observed a video of the 5/13/26 moving event, recorded by staff and approved by R1, which shows that R1 was present with staff during the entirely of the moving event, and shows that all items handled by staff were observed by R1.
LPA Comer's interviews with the Administrator, and three (3) staff revealed the following: Both Administrator and staff refute the allegation, stating that R1 never reported missing an ATM card, nor did R1 request any assistance from staff to help locate the missing item.
LPA Comer's interviews with six (6) out of a total of fifty-one (51) total residents (including R1) revealed the following: Five (5) out of six (6) residents stated to LPA Comer that staff's safekeeping efforts are adequate and have not witnessed, nor experienced their personal belongings as missing or stolen by any staff or resident of the facility. LPA Comer’s review of available documents did not reveal any information to support the allegation.
Based on LPA's conducted interviews, observations, and records reviewe, this allegation is deemed unsubstantiated at this time.
Exit interview conducted, and a copy of this report provided to the Administrator. |
