The visit was conducted by tele-visit due to the COVID - 19 precautions. LPA Leibert has conducted an investigation of the allegation by interviewing the parties and witnesses, obtaining and reviewing documents. The allegation Is denied. This Department has made the following determinations: R1 was a resident at the facility prior to death which occurred in March 2020; R1's spouse, S1, was the responsible party for R1 during R1's residency at the facility. S1 continues to reside at the facility and has stated that S1 does not want records for R1 released to the Complainant. Complainant has requested records for R1 and submitted a Declaration of Successor Interest and a HIPPA compliant release in favor of the Complainant.

This Department has investigated the claims and differing opinions of this issue. Based upon interviews and documents reviewed, it is determined that although the allegation may be true, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove violation did, or did not, occur.
