The investigation revealed the following:
Regarding allegation: Staff members are not assisting residents with residents ADLs. It is alleged residents are not assisted with showers and changing their adult underwear. Interviews with residents revealed 4 out of 6 residents stated staff assist them with all activities of daily living. 2 out of 6 residents were unable to provide an answer due to cognitive skills. Interviews with staff revealed staff assist residents with changing adult underwear at least every two hours or as needed and provide showers to residents in care at least twice a week. Facility does not keep logs for showers or changing.
Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.

Regarding allegation: Staff member forces resident to stay in bed all day. It is alleged Resident # 1(R1) is left in bed all day without social interactions or friends. Interviews conducted with residents revealed 4 out of 6 residents stated to have activities throughout the day, staff provide care, and all residents have meals together. Interviews with staff revealed staff ensures all residents are brought to the dining and activities are provided throughout the day. During the visit conducted on 4/22/25 LPA observed all residents in the dining finishing breakfast.
Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.

Regarding allegation: Staff member falsified the facility MAR. It is alleged staff filled out the medication sheet without providing the medication. Interviews with residents revealed 6 out of 6 residents were unable to answer questions regarding medication due to cognitive skills. Interviews with staff revealed the staff is aware that the medication sheet (MAR) should be initial after providing the medication daily. During the visit LPA reviewed medication for 5 residents. LPA observed 3 out of 5 residents medications sheets were initialed for afternoon medication which had not been provided to residents yet. Although the facility staff made errors by initialing the MAR prior giving the medication, there is no proof that the staff is falsifying MAR sheets. Therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated.
Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
