13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Tricia Danielson arrived unannounced to the facility to initiate an investigation into the allegation listed above. LPA met with Caregiver Kurt Camalig and explained the purpose of today's visit. During today's visit, LPA toured room #6, interviewed two (2) staff, two (2) residents, and attempted to interview Resident #1(R1). Regarding the allegation "staff make resident sleep on the floor", it was alleged that staff make R1 sleep on the floor with the blinds down and light off, even if it is daytime. Upon inspection of room #6, LPA observed the door to be open, the blinds were up allowing daylight in, the light was off, and R1 was asleep in bed the fetal position and was covered with a blanket. LPA observed R1's bed to be in the lowest position, with pads covering the half bed rails, and a foam mattress placed on the floor next to R1's bed. Interview with Staff #1(S1) revealed R1 tends to slide put of bed onto the floor in an effort to get out of bed when they wake up and has had falling incidents as a result. S1 reported that the padding and low bed position has been put in place in an effort to prevent injury. Interviews conducted did not provide any corroborating evidence that staff make any resident sleep on the floor. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is no preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report was provided along with LIC811- Confidential Names List. |
