13 | Regarding the complaint allegation: Resident sustained multiple falls while in care.
7 of 7 individuals either denied the allegation or were unable to support the allegation. During an interview, Resident 1 (R1) admitted to falling about once every two months and the resident claims to use a walker which was present during the interview. Staff 1 (S1) denied R1 is a fall risk and claims R1 walks to the dining room to eat. Staff 5 (S5) stated R1 has had falls in the past but has improved recently.
Based on the information gathered during the investigation through interviews, document review, and observations, the Department is unable to ascertain if the allegation occurred as reported. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove or refute the alleged violation occurred; therefore, the allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated.
An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of this report was provided.
