Family members of R1 were asked if they had a picture of the chair but were unable to provide one, but stated “Although the chair (currently in the Activities Room) was similar to that of R1 they did not believe it to be the same. One of two family members stated the one at the facility was more orange than the brown one of R1. The second family member stated that the chair had been labeled and the chair shown had no label and was not in the same condition as the chair belonging to R1. Staff (S1) was able to provide a picture from a year ago in February of 2025. It shows staff member (S2) sitting in a chair that looks very much like the chair identified by staff as R1’s chair, in R1’s room. Although the chair looks like the same chair that is now at the facility, LPA cannot conclusively identify the chair is one in the same without a picture provided from friend or family. LPA examined the chair and found no labels discerning the chair as that of R1: staff were certain it was, but friends and family were not, and there is no record of the chair in R1’s Inventory List.
Based on LPA’s conversations with individuals, both staff and family, and lack of photographic or physical evidence submitted by complainant, the allegation that the facility failed to safeguard resident’s belongings is unsubstantiated. Although the allegation may have occurred there is not a preponderance of evidence therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
