32 | Allegation: Resident was hit while in care.
Residents interviewed denied being hit by staff, spoke to unprofessionally or without respect. The staff interviewed denied hitting, speaking to the residents with disrespect or verbally abusing them, the Administrator confirmed that the staff treat the residents with respect and he has not heard staff be verbally abusive toward the residents or witnessed staff hitting residents or hitting the residents himself.
Allegation: Resident was confined while in care.
Residents interviewed denied being confined to their rooms and are able to move about the facility freely. The residents mentioned that they are not allowed to go into the staff's office, but have the ability to go every where else. The Administrator confirmed that he has not witnessed residents being confined to their rooms. The facility has an activity schedule and if the residents decide not to participate they can do any other activity they would like to engage in including watching T.V. or going in the backyard or anything within reason.
As a result of this investigation, LPA finds the allegations to be UNSUBSTANTIATED. A finding that the complaint is unsubstantiated means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred.
