32 | 1 staff (Staff 3) indicated that resident #1 (R1) hands were lightly bruised in the morning because of the staff trying to restrain R1 and prevent R1 from hitting the staff. However, the lightly bruising was not because of abuse but by R1 skin being sensitive. This happened about a year ago and Staff 3 did not notice any bruising lately.
#2 Resident sustained multiple falls due to lack of care or supervision from staff - Based on residents and staff interview, 6 out of 6 residents and 5 out of 6 staff stated that they did not witness or observe any resident sustained multiple falls due to lack of care and supervision from staff. 1 staff (Staff 2) stated that they were some fall incidents, however it was not due to lack of supervision or care but by the resident’s medical condition like Parkinson’s disease.
During the investigation, LPA did not find evidence to corroborate the allegations.
Based on the evidence, the allegations mentioned above 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, LIC9099 was discussed and provided to Executive Director Eva Tawfik. |
