32 | Allegation: Facility staff lifted resident improperly and staff verbally abused resident.
On 2/24/2022, LPA conducted interviews regarding the allegations listed above. During staff interviews, 4 of 4 staff stated they had never verbally abused a resident. During resident interviews 4 of 4 residents stated that staff treats them with dignity.
It was also alleged facility staff improperly lifted resident. Residents stated in interviews that staff do not injure them during lifts or transfers. All residents stated that staff have never lifted them improperly during transfers. The Licensee/Administrator conducted an internal investigation and found no information which suggests facility staff lifted resident improperly and staff verbally abused resident. LPA was unable to interview the accused staff due to no contact information available. LPA was also unable to interview hospice aid worker after multiple attempts to contact.
Based on information gathered, the allegations that facility staff lifted resident improperly and staff verbally abused resident are UNSUBSTANTIATED, meaning, although the allegations may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the above allegations did or did not occur.
Per California Code of Regulations, Title 22, no deficiencies were cited regarding the above allegations.
Exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report was given to Mary Bot. |
