13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Robbie Johnson contacted the facility via telephone to deliver findings regarding the above allegation via telephone due to COVID-19. LPA identified herself and discussed the purpose of the call and the elements of the above allegation with Administrator Mary Mcclure.
During the course of the investigation, LPA conducted interviews with staff, residents and reviewed facility menus dated March 1, 2020 through September 1, 2020. Interviews with staff revealed that residents are offered at least two food choices with each meal. Staff interviews revealed that the facility regularly offers sugar free food options, fruit trays, and vegetables with each meal. Interviews with several residents revealed that the facility meals have adequate nutrition and the facility will accommodate residents with special diets. A review of the facility's menu revealed a variety of entree options for breakfast, lunch and dinner along with vegetable, salad and reduced sugar dessert options. LPA could not corroborate that the facility does not provide adequate nutrition to residents. The allegation is therefore, UNSUBSTANTIATED. A finding that the complaint is unsubstantiated means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged abuse occurred. A copy of this report was reviewed with and provided to the Administrator. |
