32 | Furthermore, R1 had additional incontinent supplies stored in their room. R1 stated their family member purchased the incorrect size and they were too big, causing it to leak. R1 confirmed they now have the correct size and the issue was resolved. Staff confirmed there are no issues with R1’s briefs/diapers, and/or liners and they have a sufficient supply.
It was also reported that R1 was provided with very small portions of food. Outside sources were interviewed and reported not observing food being served at the facility. However, they have observed food being cooked. R1 stated they were served the quantity necessary at the facility but didn’t like the food. R1 eats breakfast and lunch at their day program and eats dinner at the facility. On 03/23/26, lunch was observed that consisted of four (4) crackers, bowl of soup and a bowl of Jello. On 05/11/26, LPA observed residents eating lunch, which consisted of fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and vegetables. LPA also observed the residents dinner, which was half of a sandwich, salad and pudding for dessert. The staff showed LPA they prepared a different meal option for R1, which was Menudo, rice, and pudding for dessert. The food portion served to residents was observed as the quantity necessary to meet the resident’s needs. The facility has a menu posted. However, staff reported it’s not followed often, as they provide variety to the residents. The licensee reported they reduced the portion size of the food due to waste. The residents were made aware they can have more if needed. However, they finish their plate and are content. Other residents interviews confirmed they received the food quantity necessary.
Lastly, it was alleged staff were unable to communicate with residents due to language barrier. It was reported staff do not speak Spanish and there was a communication barrier with R1. OS reported R1 can understand enough English to communicate their basic needs. Upon admission to the facility, there was knowledge R1 was Spanish speaking, and it was determined there were no issues. Additional interviews confirmed staff have access to R1’s responsible party to interpret if needed. Further staff interviews confirmed the interpretation application was used by the licensee but not the staff due to R1 communicating their needs. R1 reported staff do not understand them. However, R1 confirmed the staff are meeting their needs and they were able to communicate their needs to staff.
During the course of the investigation, interviews were conducted, and records were reviewed. Investigation revealed inconsistent statements and information obtained did not present a preponderance of evidence to support or corroborate the allegations. The allegations are deemed unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report along with Licensee Rights (LIC 9058 03/22) were provided to Licensee, Irma Laconsay whose signature below confirms receipt of these rights. |
