32 | 1. Staff also stated they answer all call pendants and LPA was unable to interview the resident in question because the resident refused to be interviewed during LPA’s attempts. LPA reviewed the call log and observed that several stated they calls went unanswered on both the assisted living side and memory care side. The residents interviewed on the assisted living side state the calls are answered. LPA was informed the caregivers wear a pendant that clears the call requests from the residents and that the building was down to only a couple for the memory care and assisted living side for awhile and management was not made aware of the issue until August 2022. LPA was told that sometimes the caregivers don’t turn off the call pendant because they focus on the resident first when responding to the call pendant and forget to turn off the call pendant. More pendants for the caregivers have been ordered and are ordered on a regular basis. Other interviews stated the staff ignore the call button for a particular resident which staff deny, and LPA was unable to interview that resident. Because each side has their own version of events LPA cannot prove or disprove the allegation.
2. LPA toured the memory care unit on 09/07/2022, 08/17/2022, 05/21/2022, 05/17/2022, and 03/23/2022. LPA did not see any residents being neglected. All appeared to be clean and did not observe any odors. LPA attempted to interview the resident in question, but the resident refused to be interviewed. LPA interviewed residents on the assisted living side, and they have no issues with caregivers. The facility was very dependent on agency staff for a long time and LPA cannot determine if there were any issues with the agency staff regarding resident care. LPA cannot prove or disprove the allegation above based on the information obtained.
