Allegation: Staff has inadequate record keeping. This allegation states that on at least one occasion, staff falsified information on an incident report. Based on record reviews as noted above, it was revealed that although multiple incidents were reported by facility in the form of a special incident report (SIR), additional documentation existed to support the purpose and information within the reports. A review of incident reports from August 2025 to September 2025 could not confirm if staff falsified information or if information was otherwise incorrect. As a result, the preponderance of evidence standard is not met, and this allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
Allegation: Staff mishandled a client’s personal belongings. Based on interviews conducted, it was revealed that items consisting of bean bags were removed from an unoccupied room in which they were stored and taken from facility. Interviews further revealed that these items were delivered by the facility’s corporation and did not become the property of residents as they were never used by the residents. Furthermore, it was revealed that these items were removed due to potential safety and sanitary concerns. Interviews conducted did not reveal any corroborated statements of residents’ items being mishandled. As a result, the preponderance of evidence standard is not met, and this allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
Allegation: Staff hit a client. Allegation stated that on or about September 18, 2025, a staff member slapped a resident. The allegation further stated that a slapping sound was heard but not witnessed. LPA conducted interviews and record reviews as noted above. Based on interviews and record reviews, no corroborated statement or evidence existed to suggest a resident was hit by a staff member. Additional documentation reviewed revealed that the information noted above was also reported to facility management. As a result, there is not a preponderance of evidence to conclude a resident was hit by a staff member. Therefore, this allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
A finding of UNSUBSTANTIATED means the allegation may have happened or is valid, but there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred.
