During that same period, LPA interviewed 11 staff members. Of the staff members interviewed 11 out of 11 stated that they believed that the facility was understaffed. When asked about whether or not they believed they were able to meet all the residents needs during the course of their shift. 11 out of 11 staff indicated that they were able to complete all of their tasks, however 8 out of 11 stated that they had felt that other shifts were unable to complete all of their necessary tasks in a given day. Review of staff scheduling indicated multiple days where there was only 1 caregiver assigned for both evening and night shift.

During interviews with staff, 6 non-medical technician staff members stated that they had passed out medication while working at the facility. When asked about whether or not they had received training in passing out medication to residents, all 6 staff members stated that they had not. Review of staff training logs provided by administrator did not contain any documentation signed by facility staff indicating completion or attendance of training seminars regarding the passing of medication to residents.

The Department has conducted an investigation of the above allegations. Based on LPAs’ observations, records reviewed, and interviews conducted, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met. Therefore, the Department found the above allegations to be SUBSTANTIATED. Deficiencies are being cited. See LIC 9099-D. Exit interview conducted with Administrator Erin Wiley. A copy of this report, along with the facility's appeals rights were provided.
