Allegation-Facility staff are not adequately supervising resident, resulting in resident hitting other residents and shoving staff.
The Department conducted a record review, facility observation and interviews with 4 staff members and 3 residents to investigate this complaint. R1 was admitted to the facility in December 2022. Based on staff and resident interviews, R1 did not present behaviors at the time of admittance. However, R1 started to begin to show aggressive behavior with staff and other residents about a month after R1 was admitted to the facility. R1 tried to hit one of the staff (no date provided) but staff decline to report further since nothing major happened. Additionally, R1 tapped R2 on their shoulder on 01/19/23 after dinner but R2 decline to press any charges with R1 and gave a written statement to facility staff regarding that incident since there were no visible injury. After the incident on 01/19/23, R1 had been transferred to the hospital and held on a 51/50 hold for a Psych Evaluation. Based on the information obtained, it has been concluded that R1s aggressive behavior was due to R1s medical condition and facility was providing care and supervision per R1s admission agreement and needs and service plan. The facility sought medical help when facility staff observed R1’s behavior was a risk to the health and safety of staff and residents in care.
Based on interviews conducted by the Department and records review, the preponderance of evidence standards has not been met. Therefore, the above allegation is found to be UNSUBSTANTIATED. A finding that a complaint allegation 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.
No citations were issued during this visit.
Exit interview was conducted with Administrator and a copy of this report was provided to the facility.
