32 | Allegation #4: Facility is short staffed. LPA interviewed Administrator, S1, S2, and S3 as well as R2 and R3. LPA also reviewed facility assisted living staffing schedule for February and March of 2022, actual hours worked for February 2022, March 2022, and April of 2022, medication log sheets for R1 dated January through March of 2022, and care logs for R1 dated February to March of 2022. Based on interviews and record reviews it was determined that although staff call offs occurred during February and March 2022, there have been on-call staff and management available to fill shifts as necessary. Based on actual hours worked, it was revealed that staffing levels matched that of the facility schedule during February and March of 2022. Interviews with R2 and R3 revealed care needs are met, and no concerns with staffing levels at this time. A review of medication logs sheets and care logs for R1 revealed R1 received care and medications as prescribed. Interview with Administrator revealed staffing schedule is modified based on census and level of care for residents. Based on interviews and record reviews, there is not a preponderance of evidence to conclude facility operated consistently as short staffed, and unable to meet R1 and other resident needs as a result. Therefore, this allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
Allegation #5: Facility is not providing service as identified on the care plan. Allegation noted assistance with Ted Hose for R1 was not completed. LPA interviewed Administrator, S1, S2, and S3. LPA also reviewed care log sheets for R1, and service plan for R1. Based on interviews and record reviews, it was revealed that R1 had specific needs addressed on service plan including Ted Hose Assistance from staff. Interviews conducted revealed care needs including Ted Hose Assistance were observed to be completed during February and March of 2022. Care logs reviewed covered the periods of February to March 2022 and indicated that service was completed by staff with some assistance provided by an outside party on various days and times. Based on interviews conducted and documentation of records reviewed, it is determined there is not a preponderance of evidence to conclude that R1 did not receive service as noted on the care plan, and this allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
Allegation #6: Facility disclosed information regarding resident to unauthorized person. LPA interviewed Administrator, S1, S2, and S3, and reviewed emergency contact information for R1.
