Staff is sleeping during the evening hours - UNFOUNDED Based on interviews and record reviewed, it was determined that, although one person was in fact sleeping on duty on the evening shift, there were still 3 other Med Tech/Caregivers on duty and awake at the night. There is not a regulation that strictly prohibits staff sleeping. The regulations governing night supervision, 87451 (a)(2) states: "In facilities caring for sixteen (16) to one hundred (100) residents at least one employee shall be on duty on the premises, and awake. Another employee shall be on call, and capable of responding within ten minutes." Therefore, no regulation has been violated at this time. The above allegation is UNFOUNDED. A finding of unfounded means that the allegation is false, could not have happened and/or is without a reasonable basis.

Eleven (11) staff interviews indicated that staff were providing all ADL assistance, including toileting to residents per their needs and service plan. Staff interviews indicated that staff were assisting residents for their toileting needs every 2 hours, or as needed, therefore the above allegations are UNFOUNDED. A finding of unfounded means that the allegation is false, could not have happened and/or is without a reasonable basis. Exit interview was conducted with staff and a copy of this report was provided to the facility.
