32 | Based on a review of forms and documents gathered during the span of this investigation, it was learned that this facility employed the services of a pest control company, EcoLab, who was scheduled at least to come out on a monthly basis to spray and remove any unwanted insects, pests, or nuisance at any given time. The invoices stated that there weren't any causes for concern since there was an absence of rats, ants, and mice in this facility. The invoices further stated that there no findings noted during the time of service.
Based on interviews conducted during the span of this investigation it was learned that facility residents are treated with respect and dignity at all times. It was learned that each resident was admitted with an appraisal for needs and services that this facility has determined it was able to provide for at all times. It was learned that every resident is different and this was also true of their abilities to self care and advocate for themselves.
It was learned that most residents enjoyed gathering and eating in the dining hall during the scheduled meal times. It was learned that a few did, however, prefer to eat in their own rooms thus tray service was provided for these individuals. It was learned that facility staff would encourage and attempt to feed a resident if warranted but would never be able to force any resident to eat or intake anything against their will.
Based on review of all resident alerts triggered from the timespan of 03/01/2023 to 12/31/2023 from their personal pendant alarms or pull cords within their bedrooms, it was learned that there were over 16,000 events that facility staff were supposed to respond. It was learned that the averages from all of the recorded data suggested that it took less than a second for staff to answer and acknowledge the call. It took an average of 4 minutes and 53 seconds for staff to review the situation and complete the call for service.
As a result of this investigation, this Department found the allegations to be UNSUBSTANTIATED. A complaint allegation finding of Unsubstantiated meant that although the allegations may have happened or were valid, there was not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred.
There were no deficiencies observed or cited during today's complaint visit.
