32 | DOSH further stated “the elevator permit expiring does not enable them from using the elevator nor does it deem the elevator unsafe to use”. These inspections are conducted by the DOSH unannounced and not scheduled by the facilities. Based on information obtained by the Division of Occupational Safety & Health, the allegation is determined to be unfounded.
Facility is retaining a resident with prohibited health conditions: Complainant alleges that resident (R1) has an undocumented wound that was not reported to R1’s physician. LPA reviewed records and conducted interviews. R1 states that the wound occurred on 1/12/2020 as a result of R1 falling asleep on a heating pad and reported it to the facility this same day. It was reported by R1 to the home health nurse on 1/14/2021. R1 is being treated for a separate wound by home health. Interviews with R1 indicate that due to other health concerns, R1 did not request any treatment. R1 is responsible for any medical decisions to be made on their behalf. A review of R1’s medical records indicate that R1 is independent and able to leave the facility unassisted and able to communicate needs. Due to conflicting statements and record review, the allegation is determined to be unfounded.
Personal rights: Claimant alleges that R1 states people are coming into R1’s apartment without wearing proper identification or identifying themselves. LPA interviewed R1 and found that due to visitors being required to wear full PPE, their badge was covered in one incident. R1 stated “there was no stranger in my apartment". R1 further stated “no one comes in except the people I know". Due to conflicting statements, the allegation is determined to be unfounded.
This agency has investigated the complaint alleging building and grounds, facility is retaining a resident with prohibited health conditions, and personal rights. We have found that the complaint was unfounded, meaning that the allegations are false, could not have happened and/or is without a reasonable basis.
