Interviews with Executive Director and Staff member S1 indicated that Resident R1 receives meals three times a day and requests the same thing each morning for breakfast. R1 wakes up later in the morning so staff have food prepared for when R1 is ready to eat. There are days where R1 does not eat as much while other days R1 eats more. Observations indicated that meals are prepared and available to R1. Staff were checking on R1 and R1’s call button was within reach to call for assistance. Records reviewed indicated that R1 is under the care of hospice. Hospice is monitoring R1’s decline and taking the appropriate steps to ensure R1 is safe and comfortable. Hospice staff and facility staff have noticed a decrease in food intake but R1 is still eating on a daily basis. Therefore, the allegation staff does not ensure that a resident in care is being fed is unfounded.

Based on records reviewed and interviews, LPA finds the above allegations to be UNFOUNDED- meaning that the allegations were false, could not have happened and/or is without reasonable basis. Exit interview conducted with the Administrator. Copy of report was given to facility
