32 | Further R1 is also to have a bath aid that is provided by an additional outside agency. As noted, the medication was not prescribed until 4/6/22 and 4/13/22. In addition, per the visit note dated 4/2/22, it was documented that there were not any significant changes with R1 noted on the visit form. With the documentation reviewed, it is unclear if the facility staff are providing adequate care to the residents. Therefore, the allegation of staff not providing adequate care to resident(s) is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
Allegation: Resident belongings are not being safeguarded.
Regarding allegation of resident belongings are not being safeguarded. It was stated during interviews conducted with the acting Administrator Leticia Martinez that staff was unaware R1s glasses were broken and believed that R1 lost their glasses at the beginning of February 2022. Leticia further stated that on February 22, 2022 a message was sent requesting a new pair of glasses to be ordered as well as dentures on 2/25/22. Leticia did state that R1 was sent out to the emergency room on 1/12/2022, for an unwitnessed fall. Leticia stated that the dentures were sent with R1 when they were transported to the hospital and is unsure if the items were sent back with R1 when they returned to the facility.
It is unknown of the whereabouts of R1’s dentures, when R1 had visits with family or friends the glasses were not observed to have been broken, R1 could not recall what happened to their glasses. Due to the lack of evidence the allegation of resident belongings are not being safeguarded is UNSUBSTANTIATED. A finding of UNSUBSTANTIATED means that 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.
