During today's visit LPA arrived at 11am and observed breakfast for Resident #2 which included eggs, oatmeal, toast and fresh cantaloupe that was recently served. LPA noted the plate was empty. Staff #1 (S1) was preparing lunch on the stove with a meat, vegetable and starch from scratch. LPA interviewed three of three residents who stated they are given plenty of food. Two of three residents had family members who bring additional food per residents' request. Three of three staff members interviewed denied this allegation. LPA observed the facility had ample food with two days of perishable food items and seven days of non perishables. LPA obtained a weekly food menu and residents confirmed they were being fed the items on the menu. One witness interviewed could not confirm, nor deny this allegation.
It was alleged that Staff is not providing incontinent care. LPA spoke with three of three residents regarding incontinent care. Two of three residents denied this allegation and are changed in a timely manner. One of three residents is able to go the restroom independently. Three of three staff members interviewed stated incontinence care is provided. Staff frequently check on residents and can smell if a change is needed. Residents also tell staff if a change is needed. Three of three staff members denied this allegation. One witness could not confirm or deny this allegation.
LPA investigated the allegation that Staff withholds resident's personal phone. LPA interviewed three of three residents who all denied this allegation and stated they have their personal cell phones with them at all times. Occasionally, the residents will ask staff to place the phone on the charger. LPA interviewed three of three staff members who denied this allegation. LPA interviewed one witness who stated they have heard this has happened but has not witnessed this. LPA also reviewed the Personnel file for one of one staff member which include the: Personnel Record, Health Screening Report and Tuberculosis, and Caregiver Personal Rights Training. There are no employee action forms on file. LPA also obtained the facility client roster and staff roster.
Based on LPA's observations, interviews and file reviews the allegations that: Staff are not providing a sufficient amount of food to resident, Staff is not providing incontinent care and Staff withholds residents personal phone are Unsubstantiated. The allegations may have happened or are valid, but there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred. An exit interview was conducted with Administrator Ameer Attrah and a copy of this report was provided to the facility. |
