13 | At approximately 09:30AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Chris Arnhold arrived at this faciity unannounced to conduct an investigation into the above allegations. LPA met with Activity Director Tamia Lindsay, toured the building, interviewed staff and reviewed records. Based on interviews conducted, LPA was not able to find evidence that staff did not assist resident in a timely manner. The facility call system is designed to log each call with time of activation, location and response time, however the system is not fully operational and does not log any details. The call system alerts staff in the medication room, who then relay the location and resident to the caregivers by text. LPA was informed that when staff leave the medication room, the medication technicians take turns returning every five minutes to check the call system. This occurs on all shift. Facility is undergoing a leadership change and the call system is in the process of repair or replacement. During the course of this investigation, LPA toured the facility in search of items or areas that were unsanitary or in need of repair. LPA learned there were several laundry machines that were not operational, but facility purchased replacements. During the timeframe while they were down, facility staff would take resident laundry to a local laundry mat to ensure resident laundry was cleaned per their schedule. Based on Interviews conducted, there were no delays in laundry service during this time. Continued on LIC9099-C... |
