32 | Allegation - Licensee did not ensure resident's personal property was inventoried. It is alleged that the owner did not do an inventory of the resident’s personal property upon moving in. Per the staff, Resident #1 (R1) did not allow staff to check any belongings upon moving in, therefore, no items were listed on the resident personal property and valuables form. LPA reviewed the property and valuable form for R1 and did not see any items listed. LPA observed several devices and items in R1’s room. R1 stated that the staff never wrote down what items were brought to the facility but also mentioned that the resident did not want any staff looking or touching his/her personal belongings. Another resident interviewed could not remember if any items were listed on the form but stated that there were only a few non-valuable things brought to the facility. Based on information gathered, there is insufficient evidence to corroborate this allegation.
Allegation - Staff do not ensure care needs are being met in a timely manner. It is alleged that it will take the staff 45 minutes to bring a glass of water for the resident. LPA toured the facility and observed call buttons in the residents’ rooms and a water dispenser in the living room. Per staff, when a resident presses the button, it will alert the staff, and staff can see which room number is calling. Staff denied taking a very long time to tend to the residents’ needs. Staff explained that sometimes the call may take a few minutes due to assisting another resident in the shower/toilet but never 45 minutes. LPA interviewed three (3) residents, and two (2) stated that staff assist them with their needs in a timely manner.
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 G. Oriemo. A copy of this report, along with the appeal rights, was provided. |
