32 | Based on record reviews, ADLs log indicated logs where residents had either bed baths or showers. Logs did not indicate any residents missing their bathing schedule. LPA checked the facility’s linen closet and has sufficient towels and linens for residents to use, otherwise it is provided by family members as indicated in the admission agreement packet.
Regarding the allegation of facility is dirty, RP mentioned that the bathrooms & showers are filthy.
Upon arriving, LPA requested a tour around the facility. LPA observed housekeeping vacuuming rooms and cleaning the bathrooms while residents are having their breakfast in the dining hall. All bathrooms, including private bathrooms, were checked and everything is in order and clean. LPA reviewed housekeeping logs for the month of August and it showed that the bathrooms were cleaned a total of 93 times. It also showed that it is cleaned three times a day.
Based on an interview with administrator, facility housekeeping cleans the facility all throughout the day. Family members have no concern about the cleanliness of the facility. They feel that the facility is clean. Whenever they visit, they don’t see any issue with regards to cleanliness.
Regarding the allegation that staff are not ensuring that residents are administered medication(s) according to physician's instructions, RP mentioned that whenever PRN medication is requested to be administered, staff forgets and gives excuses for not being able to give medication.
Based on record reviews, all medication administration, including PRNs, has been logged. The request of RP was followed, and records show that the medication was given to the resident. Staff were interviewed about their medication procedure. Medication arrives and staff must centrally store it. There are about 7 med passes happening throughout the day. If in any case a staff forgets to give medication, then an incident report will be filed after facility contacts PCP.
Therefore, based on the interviews conducted, files reviewed, and information collected, the above allegations are found to be UNSUBSTANTIATED, meaning that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is no preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred.
