The investigation revealed the following: Allegation: Staff disposed of resident's personal belongings. It is alleged that staff have thrown away a few R1’s personal belongings such as a drum, paintings, binoculars, shoes, and a box of CDs. LPA reviewed R1’s Resident Inventory Sheet dated 10/28/18 and all items that have allegedly been stolen (except for shoes) were not listed on inventory sheet. LPA toured R1’s room, paintings, drum, and shoes were observed in the room. LPA interviewed R1 and it was stated that the Inventory Sheet was not updated with the mentioned missing items as they were unaware that was offered/needed, R1 stated that their paintings and drum have been returned as they were in storage, however, the other items are still missing. LPA toured the facilities storage sheds and storage room located on the 2 nd floor and observed multiple items that were explained to be stored for residents to create space as their rooms cannot fit large items. LPA interviewed 4 staff and 4 out of 4 staff denied the above allegation . S3 stated that although they have seen staff throw items away , they have only observed it to be spoiled food and have never seen personal items being thrown away. LPA interviewed 8 Residents and 6 out of 8 Residents denied the above allegation, although some residents confirmed that some personal items have gone missing , they cannot confirm that it was staff who took them or threw their items away. Based on statements and interviews conducted with staff/residents, tour or R1's room and LPA's observations, there was not enough supportive evidence to concur with the reported allegation. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED . Exit interview held, and a copy of this report was provided.
