32 | Regarding the allegation: Licensee does not ensure enough staff to meet the needs of residents. It is being alleged that the above facility has limited staff and therefore resident #1 (R1)’s needs are not being met. LPA interviewed five (5) staff that confirmed there are five (5) caregivers working the morning shift, afternoon shift and three (3) caregivers on the night shift. In addition, there are four (4) one-on-one staff providing 24 hour care to four (4) residents. LPA interviewed two (2) residents that confirmed their needs are being met by staff. LPA attempted to interview four (4) other residents but they did not understand and/or were able to answer LPA's questions. Let it be noted, these residents are diagnosed with dementia. LPA obtained the caregivers schedules that confirm there are five (5) caregivers in the morning and afternoon shift, three (3) caregivers at night and four (4) staff providing one-on-one care. During LPA's physical tour, LPA observed five (5) caregivers, the Activities Director, two (2) medical technicians, the administrator and assistant administrator and front desk staff. Therefore, based on the LPA's observations, staff and resident interviews, the above allegation(s) above is UNSUBSTANTIATED at this time.
An exit interview was conducted, no citation(s) were issued, and a copy of this report was given to the Administrator. |
