32 | Staff did not communicate with resident's responsible party in a timely manner.
On the allegation that staff did not communicate in a timely manner, the concern of the RP is that they requested photographs taken by facility staff of R1 of a specific event, and as of 03/28/2024 the facility staff had not provided the photos to the RP. To investigate the allegation the LPA interviewed the staff and the licensee about the photos taken by S1 during a time when R1 was being changed by staff (S1). The interviews revealed that the process of taking the pictures of R1 was done in four (4) steps as requested by the RP.

Furthermore, S1 stated that the RP was taking pictures at the same time as S1.
