13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Tricia Danielson arrived unannounced to the facility to conclude the investigation into the allegation listed above. LPA met with Executive Director (ED) Bree Lofvendahl and explained the purpose of the visit.
Regarding the allegation "Staff is not allowing resident to receive calls", it was alleged that facility staff are not always allowing R1 to speak on the phone and when R1 does speak on the phone, they are told by staff that it can only be for ten (10) minutes. Eight (8) of nine (9) residents interviewed were unreliable historians. One (1) of nine (9) residents interviewed reported they had been denied the ability to receive calls but also simultaneously reported they were told their calls could only be ten (10) minutes long. Three (3) of three (3) staff interviewed denied ever denying R1 a phone call or limiting how long R1's calls could be. All three (3) staff also reported if phone calls for R1 were received in early morning hours and if R1 was not awake, the caller would be asked to call back at a later time. 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. |
