32 | Based on the review of R1's service plan dated June 19, 2024, R1 was provided complete assistance with toileting according to schedule, needs, and requests. Based on the review of R1's care notes, there were written documentation providing brief changes on May 12, 13, 30, 31, 2024, and during the nocturnal shifts. R1 also refused to use the toilet and requested brief changes in bed on May 30, 2024. Based on an interview with a witness, R1 alleged "waiting for hours" when staff was called for assistance. Care notes reveal that R1 was checked on "multiple times throughout shifts" even though R1 "voiced complaints of staff not checking in overnight." Based on the interviews with eight residents who resided at the facility in 2024, none of the residents are incontinent. Three of eight residents required assistance with toileting which also aligned with their care plans at the time; however two of three residents that required toileting, confirmed toileting assistance was provided as needed per their requests. LPA was unable to qualify the statement of the third resident due to their medical condition, and two of three staff denied the allegation while the third indicated not providing care to R1 at the time.
Regarding the allegation, Facility staff did not assist resident with showering as needed, it is alleged that R1 received sporadic showers. Based on the review of R1's service plan, complete assistance with showering/bathing was provided four times a week for R1. There were no documentation regarding showers per the care notes. However, based on the interviews with eight residents who resided at the facility in 2024, seven confirmed showers were provided timely which aligned with their individual plans. LPA was unable to qualify one resident due to their medical condition. Two of three staff denied the allegation while the third staff indicated not providing care to R1 at the time.
Regarding the allegation, Facility staff handled the resident in a rough manner, it is alleged that the handling of R1 was "roughed up." Based on the interviews, seven of eight residents who resided at the facility in 2024 denied experiencing aggressive handling also denied by two of three staff who were employed at the time. However, one resident confirmed one caregiver was rough in the way they assisted them during transfers. The remaining one staff did not provide care to R1 at the time.
Based on interviews and record review, although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore, all allegations are deemed UNSUBSTANTIATED. An exit interview was conducted with Health Services Director Angela Boyd, and a copy of this report was provided at the end of the visit. |
