Furthermore, it was observed that when the facility receives a phone call, staff answer the call and bring the phone to R1. While the caller's identity remains unknown, they have witnessed staff deliver the phone to R1. Interviews with four (4) staff including the Licensee Representative, and Administrator revealed that they ensure compliance, emphasizing adherence to resident’s personal rights. R1 receives daily phone calls from their son. When R1’s son calls the staff check if R1 is awake before taking the phone to R1. If awake, R1 may engage in brief communication, usually once or twice a day but there are times when R1 does not respond. R1’s son will typically call four (4) to five (5) times per day. R1 has occasionally declined to speak with son, either by handing the phone back or verbally indicating they do not wish to speak. Staff consistently assist with incoming phone calls and have never failed to assist with phone calls. Additionally, staff make efforts to support phone calls unless there is an emergency, or they are momentarily occupied. In such cases, callers are informed and asked to call back. Interviews with R1’s conservator revealed that Based on available notes, the agency has not encountered any issues contacting or visiting R1, nor have they experienced resistance from facility staff. Interview with R1’s son revealed that they shared concerns about R1’s condition, stating that during a phone call earlier that day, R1 was coughing and seemed disoriented. It was noted that during recent conversations, R1 appeared disengaged and had difficulty speaking, often coughing. Additionally, it was noted by staff to the son that R1 sleeps approximately half of the time. Out of 5–6 attempted calls, staff were only able to assist with 2–3 calls; during the remaining calls, staff stated that R1 was asleep. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is insufficient evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur. Therefore, the allegation of Staff is interfering with a resident's visitations is deemed unsubstantiated at this time.
