Regarding to allegation of staff member did not provide assistance to resident as necessary, there is no additional information forthcoming from the reporting party. However, during the initial report, the reporting party stated that a resident was distraught, and crying over the phone so the reporting party and another staff attended to resident but the team leader was in an office at the nursing station with the door closed and failed to attend to the resident.
As part of the investigation, LPA interviewed team leader -in - question (S1), facility director and another team leader (S2).
According to facility director, this incident was never reported and stated that there are times that the team leaders stayed in the office at the nursing station with the door closed for privacy when they are talking to physicians, making appointments for residents, etc. However, staff members on the unit should attend to residents and would notify team leaders for incidents that required their attention.
