32 | Based on the LPA's investigation, the investigation revealed the following.
For Allegation 1 – Staff member abuses residents. Interviews with Licensee, administrator, house manager, and S#4, they all deny any type of abuse to any residents. None of the staff as ever hit or yelled or abused clients any way. Interviews with R#1 - R#3, R#1 just rocked back and forth. That no one hits R#1, R#2 & R#3 are non-verbal, they could not communicate with LPA. LPA observed residents they did not have any visibly bruises on their persons. The interviews and observations did not concur with the above allegation.
Allegation 2 - Staff failed to provide adequate food service. Interviews with Licensee, administrator, house manager, and S#4, they all agreed that they give nutritional food at the facility. The meals they serve are well balanced meals. They serve fresh vegetables, protein, and fresh fruits. Interviews with R#1 - R#3, R#1 just rocked back and forth. They give R#1 good food. R#2 & R#3 are non-verbal, they could not communicate with LPA. LPA reviewed the menu and it does have well balanced meals and variety of different meals to be served. LPA also inspected the facility refrigerator and pantry. The refrigerator had plenty of meats, fresh vegetables and fresh fruits. Pantry was full of can foods and dried foods. The interviews and records reviewed did not concur with the above allegation.
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
An exit interview was conducted with Deborah Lewis, House Manager, and a copy of report was provided. |
