32 | Allegation: Staff did not ensure a care plan meeting was conducted with resident.
It is alleged that there have been no meaningful efforts to create a care plan or have a meeting to assist R1 with their needs. LPA interviewed R1 and they stated that staff did not assist R1 with medical appointments or have meetings with R1 to create any care plans, R1 stated they are fairly independent and do not need assistance with ADL’s. LPA obtained copies of R1’s yearly assessments from 2021-2025, each assessment documented that R1 does not require assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADL’s) such as grooming, bathing, toileting or assistance with transfers. LPA reviewed R1’s Charting Notes, there were notes stating that on 6/30/25, 7/11/25, and 10/7/25 staff provided assistance with scheduling visits for R1, however, R1 would refuse to attend. Charting Notes also detailed that R1 was on an unusual monitoring due to behavioral outbursts and aggression. LPA interviewed 5 staff and each denied the allegation and stated that R1 frequently refused any assistance and would close the door on staff or not let staff enter their room for regular cleaning. LPA interviewed 11 Residents and 10 out of 11 Residents denied the allegation and stated that staff constantly check in with them, offer support and although their care hasn’t changed since admission staff have met with them to ensure no additional care is needed.
Allegation: Staff did not ensure resident was free of retaliation after filing a complaint.
It is alleged that R1 was retaliated against as shortly after it was discovered that they filed a complaint they were issued an eviction notice. LPA interviewed R1 and they stated that they personally feel targeted and retaliated against by S1 and this stems from complaints that R1 has made verbally with S1 and complaints that S1 has discovered that R1 made with licensing or ombudsman. LPA interviewed 5 staff and each denied the allegation, S1 stated that they have never retaliated against R1 and that there is zero tolerance for residents utilizing their rights. LPA interviewed 11 Residents and 10 out of 11 Residents denied the allegation and stated they have never felt retaliated against by staff and have never seen other residents be retaliated against. Interviews with R9 and R10 revealed that they have complained about small things they were unhappy about, staff addressed their concerns and they never felt retaliated against by staff after voicing their opinions.
Based on statements and interviews conducted with staff/residents, review of resident files and facility file records, 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.
