13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Anna Bueno made an unannounced visit to the facility for the purpose of initiating and delivering findings on the above mentioned complaints. LPA met with administrator Deborah Higgins who was informed of the reason for today's visit. The investigation consisted of staff and resident interviews, observations, and documents review.
Allegation 1: Resident has fallen several times. It is alleged that resident is a fall risk. LPA observed residents ambulating in walking assistive devices and staff are always present in the hallways for resident assistance. The facility actively submits incident reports, such as falls, to the Department as required. This allegation is therefore unsubstantiated.
Allegation 2: Staff are not meeting resident's needs. It is alleged that the resident’s medical or physical needs are not being met. Interviews reveal that staff works with responsible parties in continually identifying resident's needs. Records reviewed shows that residents' partial bed rails are medically ordered. LPA observed all rooms to have call buttons for assistance and staff provides walkie talkies for immediate staff assistance.
