32 | Allegation: Staff handled resident in a rough manner.
After conducting interviews with staff, residents and local ombudsman, and reviewing documentation, it was learned that no other witness or evidence could verify resident (R2) being handled roughly by staff. Documents reviewed for R2 show no incidents resulting in bruising were reported. R2's responsible party stated they "face-time R2 twice a week, R2 always appears well groomed and cared for, and they did not have concerns with R2's care." Due to R2's dementia diagnosis, LPA was unable to interview R2 as a viable witness. However, three (3) of three (3) residents interviewed reported the facility staff treat them "well" and do a "good job" with their care. Interviews with staff stated they have not witnessed staff treat residents roughly.
Allegation: Staff did not provide adequate supervision to resident in care.
Interviews with residents and staff, and documents reviewed indicate residents in care are scheduled to receive two (2) hour checks throughout the 24 hour day period. Documents reviewed for the months of April and May 2020 show R1 and R2 received their two (2) hour checks. Interviews with three (3) residents stated the facility checks on them regularly, the staff are "outstanding" and "wonderful" and they are "satisfied with their care." ADL charts reviewed for R1 and R2 indicate R1 and R2 received daily assistance for required needs.
Due to the above information, the Department finds the allegations to be UNFOUNDED, meaning that the allegation is false, could not have happened, and/or is without a reasonable basis.
