Based on statements and interviews conducted with staff, resident, and review of resident files and facility file records, there was not enough supportive evidence to concur with the reported allegations. Although the allegations may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
