32 | Staff did not ensure resident's medication was not accessible to other residents:
In regards to the allegation, it's being reported that medications are not centrally stored and locked. According to the reporting party, a bottle of a prior resident's cream was left in R1's bathroom, accessible to the other residents in care. Between 8:45am to 9:45am, LPA interviewed administrator and one (1) of one staff who deny the allegation. Between 10:45am and 12:00pm, LPA conducted interviews with four (4) of four residents, who could not confirm the allegation. Between 12:00pm to 1:30pm, LPA conducted a physical plant inspection. Facility is a four (4) bedroom three (3) bathroom building. No medications were observed in any of these locations or any other common areas during the physical plant inspection. LPA checked the medication cabinet in the kitchen to be locked.
Based on the information obtained, there was insufficient evidence to corroborate the allegation of staff no ensuring resident medications are not accessible to other residents. Therefore, the allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time.
Staff are inappropriately limiting visitation time for resident:
In regards to the allegation, it is being reported that visitation hours are only limited to thirty minutes per family visit. According to the reporting party, this is not enough time as they travel from a distance to come to this facility. Between 8:45am to 9:45am, LPA interviewed the administrator and one (1) of one staff. Both deny the allegation, stating family and friends can stay and visit for as long as the visiting hours permits. Visiting hours are between 9am to 6pm. Administrator stated, if a resident's family or friend needs additional time after visiting hours, she will accommodate, so long as the visiting time is reasonable and no overnight stay. Also visitors are asked to be mindful in keeping the peace with the other residents. Interviews with four (4) of four residents, between 10:45am to 12:00pm, do not corroborate with the allegation. No residents had any concerns that their friends and family visits have ever been limited to thirty minutes. During the ten day visit made by LPA Cava, R1's family was interviewed. According to R1's family, they've never been limited to thirty minute visitations.
Based on the information received, there was insufficient evidence to prove that staff are limiting visitation time for the residents. Therefore, the allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time. |
