13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kimberly Lyman conducted an unannounced complaint visit to deliver findings on the above allegation. LPA was greeted and granted entry into the facility and explained the reason for the visit.
During the course of the investigation, LPA toured the facility, interviewed staff, witness and residents as well as reviewed and obtained pertinent documentation such as staff schedule and physician report.
Regarding the allegation that staff hit resident in care, the investigation revealed the following: LPA interviewed staff, residents and witnesses during the course of the investigation. Three out of three residents deny any verbal or physical abuse at the facility. All three residents verbalized satisfaction and safety at the facility. Residents all appeared clean, well taken care of and happy. On both visits, LPA observed residents engaged in activities and enjoying themselves. Two out of two staff and witness deny any verbal or physical abuse occurring in the facility. Due to conflicting information, LPA is unable to corroborate the allegation. Therefore, the allegation is deemed unsubstantiated, meaning that although the allegation may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report was provided. |
