32 | Per record review and staff interviews, on April 27, 2025, R1 was receiving assistance from S1 and Staff #2 (S2) during a transfer to their wheelchair. R1 was in the restroom prepping to be transferred to their wheelchair. During this incident S1, while assisting R1, attempted to use their transfer board. R1 began to get frustrated with S1 and expressed this frustration verbally. Interviews did not reveal that S1 handled R1 in a rough manner nor did it reveal that S1 spoke to R1 inappropriately during this incident.
Review of R1’s physician’s report dated March 21, 2025, revealed that R1 could feed themselves but required assistance with all other activities of daily living. Review of R1’s resident assessment dated March 27, 2025, revealed R1 needs a two-person total assist for transfers. Interviews verified this need for R1 and thus explained the presence of S2 to witness the incident with R1 and S1.
Based on interviews and records review, the investigation did not yield a preponderance of evidence to conclude that staff handled resident in a rough manner and did not treat resident with dignity. Based on the foregoing, the allegations are unsubstantiated. This finding means that although the allegation may have happened or may be valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred. An exit interview was conducted with Resident Services Director Talamantes, to whom a copy of this report and the Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC9058 03/22) were provided.
