The investigation revealed the following: Allegation #1-Staff did not provide adequate supervision, resulting in resident sustaining multiple unwitnessed falls.
The details of the complaint alleged that resident (R1) had two unwitnessed falls, with no injuries in the facility. It was reported that the staff did not provide adequate supervision for the resident. On 04/24/2026 from 11:00am-2:00pm, the department investigated the allegations mentioned in this complaint and conducted interviews with staff (S1-S4), residents (R2-R10), and on 06/08/2026 the department interviewed witness (W1) regarding the allegation. R1 was not available for interview because they are no longer at the facility and has cognitive issues. However, witness (W1) was available to speak on their behalf as their representative.
4 of 4 staff denied the allegation that Staff did not provide adequate supervision, resulting in resident sustaining multiple unwitnessed falls. All staff stated that they do provide adequate supervision for the residents in the facility. Staff also stated that there is a call button in each resident’s room that they can push if they need assistance or are having trouble walking. They further stated that the residents are checked on frequently throughout the day and night and to their knowledge (R1) never had a fall in the facility.
The department interviewed residents (R2-R10) about the allegation and 8 of 10 residents that were interviewed stated that they believe the staff does provide adequate care and supervision for the residents in the facility. Those residents further stated that they are satisfied with the care and supervision and feel safe living in the facility. R1 was not available for interview because they are no longer at the facility and has cognitive issues. However, witness (W1) was available to speak on their behalf as their representative. The department interviewed witness (W1), and they stated that the staff did not monitor the resident correctly and felt that they wouldn’t have fallen if they were monitored better.
The department reviewed Internal Resident Incident Reports (Dated: 03/12/2026, 03/23/2026 & 03/25/2026) and observed that the incident reports were not fall related. There is no documentation that (R1) had any falls. The department reviewed the Staff Roster (Dated: 03/19/2026) and observed that the facility has sufficient staff to provide adequate supervision for the residents. The department also reviewed the Preplacement Appraisal Information (Dated 02/02/2026) and observed that (R1) was able to walk without any physical assistance and does not utilize assistive devices for mobility, despite having a cane available.
Based on interviews conducted and records reviewed, there is insufficient evidence to support the allegation that Staff did not provide adequate supervision, resulting in resident sustaining multiple unwitnessed falls. 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.
