Allegation #1 Staff unable to effectively communicate with residents while in care
.
To investigate this allegation, the LPA conducted interviews with staff on 1/15/2021, and 6/14/2021. During interviews, staff were able to communicate with the LPA. Although some staff required assistance to communicate on some interview questions, other staff members were available to assist. During the facility visit on 6/14/21, the LPA observed that S1 required assistance to speak with the LPA, however S1 was able to communicate with residents using short phrases, words, and gestures. According to Title 22 Regulations, staff must be able to communicate with residents, but are not required to speak the resident’s language. Based on staff interviews and Title 22 Regulations, this allegation is unsubstantiated.
