The evidence supports that staff failed to adequately monitor and respond to the residents’ needs, resulting in a lapse in supervision. This deficiency poses a potential health and safety risk to residents in care. Therefore, the allegation is substantiated.
Allegation: Staff verbally abused a resident- Substantiated
LPA conducted interviews with the Administrator, staff, and 12 residents. Information obtained through these interviews determined that staff engaged in verbal abuse toward a resident. Witness statements from W1 and W9 indicated that they observed and heard staff member S6 speak in an inappropriate and verbally aggressive manner toward R1. Additionally, S1 and S3 reported that they also witnessed and/or overheard the interaction, corroborating concerns regarding S6’s conduct.
The preponderance of evidence supports that staff behavior was inconsistent with providing respectful and appropriate care and constitutes verbal abuse. This violation poses a potential risk to the resident’s emotional well-being and personal rights. Therefore, the allegation is substantiated.
An exit interview is conducted, and a copy of the appeal rights and report is provided via email.
