32 | This department has investigated the complaint alleging that staff do not provide care and supervision to resident(s) during the night. LPA conducted record reviews and interviews which consisted of 2 staff and 4 residents. LPA reviewed the following documents such as but not limited to: the resident roster, staff roster, staff schedule, the facility admission agreement, the resident’s physician report, and further documents regarding supervision at night such as the nightly bathroom log. LPA also conducted a total of 6 interviews of which 1 interview was unable to be conducted due to unavailability, and the remainder of the 5 interviews did not corroborate with the allegations due to reporting that the facility staff provides each resident with a call button to utilize to notify staff if assistance is needed. 1 of the interviews also added that the staff present at night will check on residents a minimum of twice a night. When LPA conducted a tour of the facility, LPA tested all the resident call buttons and observed that all buttons were functional and operational, and that once the button was pressed, an alarm will sound throughout the facility to notify staff. Based on observations and review of documents obtained, we have found that the complaint was UNFOUNDED, meaning that the allegation was false, could not have happened and/or is without a reasonable basis.
