13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kimberly Lyman made an unannounced complaint visit to initiate investigation on the above allegation. LPA was greeted and granted entry by Executive Director Laura Kephart and explained the reason for the visit.
During the course of the investigation, LPA interviewed staff and witnesses as well as reviewed and obtained pertinent documentation such as physician report and pre-appraisal. Regarding the allegations that resident missed transportation to Dr. appointments and resident left in soiled linens, the investigation revealed the following: Resident 1's (R1) care companion scheduled an eye appointment for R1 at Costco on two different occasions. Per interviews conducted, the appointments were canceled by care companion who is no longer employed with the resident. Facility provided documentation of canceled appointment and stated an appointment is pending for eye appointment to be conducted at the facility. Two out of two staff and two out of two witnesses state R1 is not left in soiled linens. Responsible party denies allegations and states satisfaction with facility staff. Therefore, the allegations are deemed UNFOUNDED, meaning the allegations are false, could not have happened and/or is without a reasonable basis. Exit interview conducted and a copy of this report was left at the facility. |
