32 | LPA was unable to interview one of the alleged victims as they passed away prior to being interviewed by LPA. LPA was unable to conduct meaningful interviews with current residents as all residents currently in placement are not cognitively able to respond to interview questions. Per statements obtained from the RP, the hospital could not perform any tests that would indicate resident received a medication not prescribed for them. LPA could not interview this resident as they had passed away prior to being interviewed. Additionally, all staff interviewed denied providing any insulin or medications that would explain low blood sugar upon admission. LPA was unable to obtain any corroborating statements or documentation to support the allegation.
LPA is unable to corroborate the allegations of physical, financial or verbal abuse. LPA obtained text messages between one of the co-complainants and the licensee, LPA observed no reported concerns from the co-complainant regarding physical, verbal or financial abuse documented in the text communications between the licensee/facility staff and the co-complainant. LPA observed documentation that R2 had a fall and broken nose prior to being accepted to the facility. Per interviews with facility staff R2 had a nose bleed that could not be stopped and staff applied appropriate pressure to the site to ensure the bleeding stopped and when it was not, they transported R2 to the hospital for evaluation. All co-complainants interviewed, indicated the only evidence was statements obtained form R2 while at the dentist and hospital. Per R2's authorized representative, R2 is diagnosed with dementia and was diagnosed at the hospital with UTI. All staff members denied any abuse or witnessing abuse. LPA asked R2's authorized representative for any documentation or paperwork provided to R2 or them for selling R2's property and Authorized representative has not provided any evidence to LPA and that is not reflective of the text messages observed between facility staff and the authorized representative.
Regarding the final allegations of residents being left unsupervised, Resident not able to contact family and residents being forced to eat food when they do not want to are also unsubstantiated. LPA has not been able to obtain any evidence or statements corroborating the allegations. While one co-complainant observed some residents in the car while licensee was at the dentist with R2, they could not confirm whether there was another staff member present in the car with residents providing supervision. Staff members denied leaving any residents unsupervised. Staff members denied restricting phone conversations or contact with family members. Report continued on LIC 9099-C2. |
