A separate interview with client (C1) had C1 indicating they are allowed snacks at any time, but that pantry snacks might be locked at times, with clients needing to ask for snacks, but clients are never told they cannot have snacks.
In addition, LPA interviewed two staff members, S1 and S2 who both revealed that clients are always allowed snacks which are both set out and/or made available upon request. In addition, interviews with S1 and S2 revealed that client will shop for themselves and will often have their own snacks in their rooms.
LPA noted and took photos of a good supply of unlocked pantry snacks and food, as well as refrigerated snacks, as well as, plated out and sealed meals that staff indicated were made and labeled for clients, but were not consumed with clients feeling too rushed to go to day program to consume.
Because clients have indicated that they have access to snacks and are always given snacks when requested and because LPA observed a good supply and variety of snack upon unannounced inspection and because clients in care appear well nourished, the complaint that staff do not ensure client’s dietary needs are met, is unsubstantiated.
Unsubstantiated means, although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur.
