32 | LPA observed that all residents appeared to be alert and out of bed.
In regards to allegation #3, LPA Williams interviewed Resident #1 (R1) who denied experiencing a fall and injuring their foot. R1 did state that they once experienced a fall and hurt their back. When LPA asked R1 how and when they fell, R1 stated, “I don’t know but I know I fell because I am weaker.” R1 could not provide any further details. LPA interviewed S1 who could not recall an incidence where R1 experienced a fall. S1 stated that R1 did not report any falls to S1. LPA interviewed S2 and S3 who denied having any knowledge of R1 experiencing a fall. LPA interviewed R2 who denied witnessing R1 fall in the common areas. LPA reviewed the Regional Office’s (RO’s) incident report log, which did not show that an incident report was sent to the RO regarding R1’s alleged fall.
In regards to allegation #3, LPA Williams interviewed R1 who stated that S1 is not allowing R1’s pastor to visit. S1 denied the allegation, stating that R1’s pastor has come to the facility on many occasions. S1 stated that all residents may have visitors as long as the facility visitation rules, and COVID-19 guidelines are being followed. LPA interviewed R2, who stated that they have seen residents with their visitors at the facility. R2 denied that facility staff are not allowing residents to have visitors. LPA was unable to locate R1’s pastor to retrieve statement.
Based on evidence obtained during the investigation, LPA has determined that the above allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED; meaning that although the allegations may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur.
