32 | Allegation: Staff did not prevent residents from engaging in a physical altercation
Through the course of the investigation process, CCL conducted interviews, toured the facility, and reviewed records regarding the allegation above. The incident started with arguing between R1 and R2 then escalated to R1 being hit. Staff intervened at this point, trying to re-direct and calm the residents. It was determined that staff were in the vicinity, and when alerted to the incident responded and separated the residents. Staff reported the incident to management and the proper services were called.
Allegation: Staff did not ensure reporting requirements were followed
Throughout the course of the investigation the department reviewed records and conducted interviews with staff relevant to the complaint allegation. Staff interviews indicated that staff reported the incident to management who submitted a LIC624 to the Department, contacted EMS and POA. Record review revealed that facility submitted all required documents to the department per Reporting Requirements.
Allegation: Staff threatened eviction on resident in care
During interviews with staff, it was stated to the LPA that R1 and their family were not threatened with an eviction or given an eviction notice. It was stated that R1 was encouraged to increase their level of care due to the behaviors presented at the facility. Staff stated that they had a meeting with R1’s family and explained that R1’s behavior warranted an increased level of care. During interviews with witnesses, they stated that facility management stated R1 would need to either increase the level of care or move from the facility. The LPA asked the witness if R1 or the witness was given an eviction notice, they stated no, but moved R1 out of the facility due to the increase in cost.
This agency has investigated these allegations. We have found that the allegations is UNFOUNDED, meaning that the allegation was false, could not have happened and/or is without a reasonable basis. We have therefore dismissed the complaint.
