The complaint alleges that staff do not treat resident with dignity or respect..
The LPA interviewed Witnesses W1 and W2 by phone, met with the ED, and interviewed Staff S1 in person. When asked if they or any other staff refer to residents as “baby”, both the ED and S1 said no. When asked if they or any other staff refer to a resident's undergarments as diapers, both the ED and S1 said no.The ED said that whenever a staff member makes an error like that, they are pulled aside and their error is corrected by a director. They both said that many residents refer to undergarments as diapers, but staff refer to them as briefs or pull-ups, without correcting residents. S1 said that she does everything she can to help R1 to feel comfortable and well cared for during her time assisting her with changing her briefs and going to bed, including the pulling up the covers and getting the television remote control in the right place so she can find it easily when she is in bed. The data collected does not support the allegation.
Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove them; therefore, the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED.
Exit interview conducted and a copy of this report provided.
