It was also alleged that staff is not adequately trained. It was reported that facility staff are not adequately trained and unqualified to be administering medications to residents and safety drills are not being conducted quarterly. Per facility Program, in Policy Training: Medication Education, it states that “… each staff will receive thorough training in medication management and other pertinent medication information during their initial training period and subsequently in yearly required in-services and as needed”. Records reviewed including training records for facility staff demonstrated that staff are taking medication training along with other training specific or related to their job specification. Additionally, record review of facility’s emergency disaster plan revealed that emergency disaster drills are being conducted quarterly as per regulation. Furthermore, record review and interviews conducted indicate that emergency disaster drills are being conducted at least once a month. Based on the information obtained and reviewed, the Department has insufficient evidence to support the allegation of “staff is not adequately trained”. Therefore, this allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time.
It was also alleged that staff does not provide scheduled activities for residents. It was reported that there is no curriculum scheduled for residents to follow. During a facility walkthrough, the LPA observed an Activity Calendar posted in the common area, listing at least three (3) different activities scheduled each day. Additionally, clients were observed actively participating in group activities at the time of the visit. Interviews with staff revealed that clients enjoy participating in activities when they are offered. Staff reported that clients particularly enjoy working on worksheets provided by one of the staff members. Furthermore, client interviews confirmed that activities are offered daily by the facility. Although participation is not mandatory, they are encouraged to join, and most express enjoyment in taking part. Based on the information obtained and reviewed, the Department has insufficient evidence to support the allegation of “staff does not provide scheduled activities for residents”. Therefore, this allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time.
