32 | Allegation: “Staff do not provide adequate care and supervision to the residents.” It is alleged that around the week of January 6, 2025, (2) residents were seen having difficulty using the community bathrooms with walkers and one of them called for help before a caregiver arrived. Staff indicated that some residents are safe to move independently with a walker and some require one-on-one assistance. Staff interviewed stated that the facility has enough staff to assist residents with their activities of daily living (ADLs). Staff stated that they perform scheduled checks especially for high-fall-risk residents. Staff stated that they received training on fall prevention, safe transfer techniques, and the proper use of walkers. Interviewed residents stated that they were not aware of this incident but confirmed that staff assist them with their activities of daily living (ADLs) such as toileting. Residents interviewed indicated that they feel there is sufficient staff to provide adequate supervision and monitoring to meet their needs. Residents interviewed indicated they feel safe and comfortable at this facility. LPA observed that the facility’s community restrooms have appropriate grab rails and enough space for a walker. Therefore, there was insufficient evidence to corroborate with the allegation.
Based on statements and interviews conducted with staff, residents, review of resident files and facility file records, there was not enough supportive evidence to concur with the reported allegations. Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED.
Exit interview conducted and a copy of this report was provided to Subashsani Kumar, Executive Director.
