13 | At 12:45 p.m. on 01/05/2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Nicholas Reed conducted an unannounced complaint visit. LPA met with the Administrator and disclosed the reason for the visit. LPA and Administrator toured the facility inside and out. No immediate health or safety concerns were observed.
LPA interviewed residents from 12:50 p.m. to 1:10 p.m. and staff from 1:25 p.m. to 1:35 p.m.
Regarding the allegation above, it was alleged that staff physically abused Resident #1 (R1). From interviews, no specifics were provided about which staff abused R1 or how the abuse occurred. Staff #1 (S1) reported that R1 hit S1 with a closed fist and also hit a home health employee on another occasion. S1 and Staff #2 (S2) both stated they have never abused any residents. Residents interviewed reported never being abused or witnessing abuse in the home. The administrator noted R1 did not get along with staff but was never abused. R1 also showed no signs of abuse. Based on interviews, although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is insufficient evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur. Therefore, the allegation is deemed UNSUBSTANTIATED at this time. Exit interview conducted. Copy of report provided.
