32 | On 11/04/25, R1 stated the staff are good and serving him vegetarian meals.
LPA conducted inspection of the kitchen and observed list of residents who are on soft diet and those with food preference but no list of residents who are vegetarian or vegan. The cook stated he does not have list but he knows because there's only 2 of them. He stated R3 is vegetarian due to religious/spiritual belief and he does not serve R3 meat. He further stated that he himself is vegetarian, so whatever he prepares for himself, he serves to R3. He also stated that R1 use to eat meat before but around September 2025, R1 transitioned to vegan. On November 2025, R1 told him that he's not eating meat so he prepared him vegetarian meals for about 5 days, but after 5 days, R1 told him that vegetarian diet is not working, so R1 started eating meat again and asked him for hot dog. When R1 told him he is vegan, he served him vegan meals.
R3 stated staff do not served him meat.
Based on interviews and records review, the allegation is unsubstantiated.
Allegation: Staff do not ensure residents are accorded dignity.
The reporting party (RP) stated that when staff (S3) was putting 'apron' on resident's (R2) thigh while in the dining room during meal, S3 touched R2's thigh and was not mindful. R1 stated it bothered him and does not think that the touching was accidental. S3 confirmed she puts an apron like a bib and ties it on R2's neck and the apron stretches up to the lap. S3 denied touching R2's thigh when placing the apron. Due to medical condition, LPA was not able to obtain information from R2. Therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated.
Based on interviews, records review and inspection, the 3 allegations are unsubstantiated. A finding that the complaint is unsubstantiated means that although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred.
No deficiency cited. Exit interview conducted and copy of this report provided. |
