32 | INVESTIGATION REVEALED THE FOLLOWING:
Allegation: Staff did not respond to resident's representative's requests for communication in a timely manner.
The details of the complaint state that staff #1 (S1) is not responsive in communicating on time. The complaint states that she had made several attempts to get a hold of administrator staff #1 (S1) many times in the past weeks and that telephone calls were never returned. The complainant stated she wanted to address concerns privately to (S1) about (C1's) well-being at this facility. It was uncertain whether the complainant had records of outgoing calls made to the facility for (S1) or the dates and times of these calls. The complainant states when outgoing calls were made, there was no mention of the nature of the call to staff #4 (S4) who answered the main line.
According to (S4) it is within the facility house rules when incoming calls are screened. The callers are asked for the name, the number, and the nature of the call to route the call to the proper staff. (S4) denies receiving calls for the administrator (S1) that were never forwarded or addressed. (S4) claims there is no internal written log of incoming calls. An interview with (S1) claims she has not refused or neglected any calls that have been forwarded to her phone line in the past weeks. (S1) states she is responsive to all internal and external incoming calls and will address them timely.
Interviews with clients #1-#9 (C1-C9) reported no issues with incoming calls from the facility's main phone line. (C1-C9) stated they do not receive incoming calls or it is rare from the facility phone line as they all have their phones.
Based on the information gathered, an inspection of the facility, observation, analysis of (C1’s) service records, and interviews conducted, the Department found no evidence to support the allegation mentioned in this complaint.
Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation, did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is Unsubstantiated.
An exit interview was conducted with Ana Kunz, and a copy of the report was provided. |
