It is being alleged that resident #1 (R1) and resident #2 (R2) began to argue at the front desk because both residents wanted to talk to the receptionist. During LPA's physical tour, LPA reviewed the facility cameras and R1 was seen arguing with the receptionist at the front desk, before R2 arrived at the front desk. R1 and R2 were then seen talking to each other for a bit. LPA conducted five (5) resident interviews. Out of the five (5) residents, three (3) resident interviews were attempted but to no avail were the residents understanding what the LPA was asking including R1 and R2. Furthermore, R1 and R2 did not remember the incident. Let it be noted R1 and R2 are diagnosed with dementia. In addition, LPA interviewed three (3) staff that confirmed R1 and R2 were not arguing it was R1 arguing with the staff member. LPA also received the Unusual Incident/Injury Report and SOC 341 which was reported to Community Care Licensing Department, the Police Department and the Ombudsman. Therefore, based on the LPA's observations, staff and resident interviews conducted, the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED at this time.
