32 | Identification and Emergency Information (08/15/24), Physician’s Report (05/16/24), Bank Statement (06/19/24 – 07/22/24), Internal Incident Report (11/12/24), interviewed two staff members and one resident, and observed room 261. On 08/25/25, LPA received R1’s bank statements (12/20/24 – 05/20/25, 06/16/25 – 07/11/25). On 09/04/25, LPA interviewed the Maintenance Director and Executive Director.
The investigation revealed the following:
Regarding the allegation, “Staff did not safeguard resident’s personal belongings,” it is being alleged that the staff did not safekeep resident’s personal belongings, such as television and purse, during hospitalization.
Record review of R1’s personal property inventory (08/15/24) revealed R1 had clothes, five pairs of shoes, two purses, one mirror, and a 32” Sony television (Model #W830K) upon admission. The form does not indicate that it was revisited upon discharge due to missing signatures. Record review of notice (04/14/25) revealed Witness #1 picked up four boxes of personal property for R1. Interview with Maintenance Director indicated that R1’s television was broken because R1 requested maintenance to look at it. LPA observed the broken television (Model #W830K) and there was no visual. Maintenance Director indicated that he doesn’t see the personal property inventory sheet but packs up the resident’s belongings. The Maintenance Director indicated that the clerical staff will complete the inventory sheet. The Executive Director indicated that the inventory sheet is completed unless a resident moves out prior. Three out of five resident interviews (R2, R4 - R5, R7 - R8) indicated that their personal items are safeguarded.
Regarding the allegation, “Staff did not safeguard resident’s personal belongings,” based on observations, record reviews and interviews, the Department found no evidence to support the allegation mentioned above. 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, as a result, the allegation is Unsubstantiated.
