13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kimberly Lyman conducted an unannounced complaint visit to deliver findings on the above allegations. 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 and witnesses as well as reviewed and obtained pertinent documentation such as facility correspondence. Regarding the allegation that resident hit on the face by staff, the investigation revealed the following: R1 admitted into the facility on 03/02/2022 after residing at home. Resident was only at the facility for one day. R1 was exhibiting aggressive behaviors toward staff. Facility was preparing to call 911 when family arrived and took the resident home. Four out of four staff deny any knowledge or observation of any staff hitting the resident. Resident is diagnosed with Dementia and LPA was not provided the opportunity to interview R1. Due to conflicting information, LPA is unable to corroborate allegations. 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. |
