32 | The LPA interviewed the Medical Technician (MT), who denied the allegations and stated that the staff would not act inappropriately. While the tone of the staff may differ from what residents are accustomed to, it is not intentional. On September 24, 2025, between 10:30 AM and 1:30 PM, the LPA interviewed seven residents (R2-R8). All seven residents denied that the staff spoke to them inappropriately. They described the staff as very nice and friendly.
During the same visit, the LPA observed residents during lunchtime, where they interacted with the staff in a friendly manner, sharing laughter. Additionally, the LPA reviewed staff training records on topics such as Abuse and Neglect of Adults and the Elderly (dated October 24, 2025), Respecting Resident Rights, Promoting Dignity, and Encouraging Independence (dated October 26, 2025), Special Care Needs, including Oxygen, Ostomy, Catheter, and Skin Breakdown (dated October 26, 2023), and Understanding Dementia Care and End-of-Life Care Goals (dated September 12, 2022, and August 24, 2022). These records indicate that staff are trained in various aspects of resident care. LPA could not interview R1, as R1 left the facility for a higher level of care in 2023. Unfortunately, R1 passed away in October 2024.
Based on LPA Record Reviews, observations, and interviews conducted, the preponderance of evidence standard has not been met. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is no preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred. Therefore, the above allegation has been Unsubstantiated.
No deficiencies cited. Exit interview conducted. A copy of this report was provided to Executive Director, Brian Taube.
