32 | LPA was able to interview three staff members. S1 mentioned that they always check the residents every 2 hours, or if they pass by the rooms, they just check on the residents if there is anything they need. Some residents are aggressive sometimes, so they wait and give them time if they refuse showers. They do ask them three times. With the change in clothes, they also ask them three times too, if they still don's say yes then staff will wait and find a time. S2 also mentioned that they go around and check the residents if they need anything. Usually, every 2 hours and if some of them calls with the pendant. If staff are aware of their incontinence, they check more frequently. S3 mentioned that they don’t force residents to take showers. They ask at least three times or just adjust the shower schedule. With all the activities of daily living, staff asks at least three times. If residents still say no, then we’ll reschedule and with the clothing we try to come back after a few hours. LPA was also able to interview 2 residents (R2 & R3). Both mentioned that they are well taken care of in the facility. R2 mentioned that staff is always there when R2 needs anything. When call button is pressed staff comes, and they assist in anything needed. R3 also stated that they (staff) always take care of R3 and has no issues. They always come when R3 needs help.
Based on interviews, the department has determined that although the allegations may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED.
