32 | Staff stated they provide showers, escort to meals, change those who are incontinence, and take out the trash. LPA interviewed eight (8) residents. Seven (7) out of the eight (8) feel there is sufficient staffing to meet their needs. The residents interviewed today mainly need assistance with showers, escorting, and toileting. Residents stated that the staff check on them often and will respond to the call button timely. Based on information gathered, there is insufficient evidence to corroborate this allegation.
Allegation - Staff does not ensure the resident rooms are clean and sanitary. LPA interviewed seven (7) staff who stated that the resident rooms are cleaned at least once a week by the housekeepers. Care staff also assist with ensuring the rooms are clean and sanitary by taking out the trash after incontinence changes. If staff observe the room needs extra cleaning, they will inform the housekeeper who will do it. Staff stated they do not deny requests if the room needs to be cleaned again. LPA interviewed eight (8) residents. Seven (7) out of the eight (8) stated that the housekeeper cleans their rooms once a week and do not have any issues about their rooms not getting properly cleaned.
Allegation - Facility is not free of pests. LPA selected eight (8) resident rooms to inspect during the visit today. The rooms appeared clean and sanitary. There were no bugs or roaches observed in the rooms or in the interior of the facility. LPA obtained and reviewed copies of the pest control service reports for the past (3) months. The facility is receiving services for roaches and rodent repellent. Staff interviews revealed that the facility receives pest control services frequently, and if they observe any pests, they inform the maintenance staff right away to address the concern. Six (6) out of the eight (8) residents interviewed have not seen roaches in their rooms. One (1) saw roaches a few months ago, and another saw some flies and roaches recently in the room. Based on information gathered, the facility is taking proactive measures to prevent pests and treat the areas/rooms where pests are observed.
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 Staff M. Roleda. A copy of this report, along with the appeal rights, was provided. |
