13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Rohit Lama conducted an unannounced visit to initiate a complaint investigation and deliver the findings for the allegation listed above. LPA met with Administrator Marya Alpert.
The allegation states that facility staff did not provide a safe environment in the facility due to the fact that staff would be asleep and not provide supervision. LPA Lama interviewed Residents #1 (R1), #2 (R2), #3 (R3), #4 (R4), #5 (R5), and #6 (R6). LPA also interviewed Staff #1 (S1) and #2 (S2). R2 was non-verbal. R1, R3, R4, R5, and R6 stated that staff always met their needs in a timely manner, that they felt safe in the facility, and that they have never seen the staff asleep. S1 and S2 stated that they felt there was enough staff in the facility to meet the needs of the residents and that they believed the residents are safe in the facility. Based on observations made and interviewes conducted, the allegation that the staff failed to provide a safe environment for residents is 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 evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur. |
