32 | LPA reviewed R1’s LIC 602 (Physician’s Report), which indicates that R1 is capable of making decisions and does not present with any cognitive impairments. During the visit, LPA observed R1 to be well-groomed, with no visible open areas, bruising, or signs of being soiled. R1 reported no issues with skin integrity, including rashes, redness, or sores. R1 expressed satisfaction with the care provided at the facility, stating there have been no complaints. R1 noted that there are consistently at least three staff members present and that the Administrator is readily available. R1 also reported that meals are satisfactory, with ample food and beverages provided. LPA observed that R1’s wheelchair and bed were in good condition and appropriate for the resident’s needs.
On the initial visit conducted on March 21, 2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Domingo toured the facility, including Resident 1’s (R1) shared room. The room was observed to be well-organized, clean, and free of clutter or unpleasant odors. The space was adequately sized to accommodate all necessary furnishings, allowing for safe mobility and comfort. R1’s personal equipment, including a wheelchair and bed, was observed to be in good condition and appropriately maintained.
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Domingo conducted interviews with additional residents during the facility visit to assess the overall quality of care and supervision provided. Residents consistently reported feeling safe and well cared for in the facility. They described staff as attentive, respectful, and responsive to their needs. Multiple residents confirmed that staff are readily available throughout the day and night, and that the Administrator is approachable and frequently present. Residents also expressed satisfaction with the cleanliness of the facility, the quality of meals, and the availability of food and beverages. No concerns regarding neglect, lack of supervision, or unmet care needs were reported.
LPA Domingo conducted an interview with Outside Source 1 (OS1) who is familiar with Resident 1’s (R1) care and well-being. OS1 reported no concerns regarding R1’s. OS1 indicated that the facility provides adequate staffing, maintains a clean and safe environment, and meets R1’s physical and emotional needs. No evidence was presented by outside sources to support the allegation.
Based on interviews, inspection, and record reviews there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove lack of supervision, resulting in resident self-neglect therefore the allegations are unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted with Natalie Bonds Administrator, to whom a copy of this report and Licensee Rights (LIC9058 03/22) were provided.
