32 | The second allegation indicates Staff failed to provide residents with privacy. RP stated male and female residents have been sharing bathrooms for a long time and they don’t have any privacy. Residents’ interviews indicated there is no privacy issue at the facility as all the bedrooms that have a shared bathroom between them have the same gender residents on both sides. Staffs’ interviews revealed that there is no privacy issue at the facility as no bedrooms that share a restroom with opposite gender residents on either side at the facility. Moreover, interviews with residents and staffs indicated no incidents happened at the facility that privacy issue was reported.
The third allegation indicates Staff are mismanaging residents' medication. RP stated residents’ medications are left out in the medication room and it is not always locked. Interviews with staff revealed the resident’s medication is stored in medication carts and in locked cabinets in the medication room that is locked and behind an additional locked door. Residents 1-7 stated the medication room behind a locked door that is through the med room office door, which is locked. R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, and R7 stated the medication is passed from a locked medication cart that the med person rolls into the hall or room of the person getting the medication.
The fourth allegation indicates Staff failed to provide a safe environment for the residents. RP stated staff sometimes leave the medication room unlocked and it creates an unsafe environment for residents. Interviews with staff and residents revealed the medication room is behind 2 locked doors. Staff stated they always lock the medication room door and the office door when they are not present.
Based on the evidence, the allegation that Facility is not allowing a resident to have visitors (Allegation #1), Staff failed to provide residents with privacy (Allegation #2), Staff are mismanaging residents' medication (Allegation #3), and Staff failed to provide a safe environment for the residents (Allegation #4) are UNSUBSTANTIATED. A finding that the complaint is UNSUBSTANTIATED means although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated at this time.
An exit interview was conducted where this report was discussed and provided to Assistant Administrator Andrea Scott.
