Based on interviews conducted, eight out of eight residents and five out of eight staff denied the allegation the facility is retaining residents with higher level of care needs. All residents stated they have not observed or heard other residents needing a higher level of care. Five out of eight staff stated they do not see any resident needing a higher level of care.
Based on LPA’s observations, there were no residents that needed a higher level of care at the time of the visits on February 6, 2025, August, 15, 2025, and October 20, 2025.
Based on the information gathered, there is no sufficient evidence gathered to corroborate the above allegation. It is determined that all resident interviews and five out of eight staff do not corroborate that the that residents need a higher level of care. LPA was able to verify that the residents didn't need a higher level of care based on reviewing resident hospice care plans, facility progress notes, and face sheets.
