Allegation: Staff moved resident out of room without resident’s consent. During the course of the investigation, LPA was unable to find any witnesses or documentation supporting the allegation above. There is no evidence that supports staff moved resident out of room without resident’s consent. LPA interviewed resident (R1-R2), staff (S1-S2) and witness (W1) who stated resident (R1) has not moved out of his room. LPA spoke to staff (S1-S2) who stated the facility has never moved any resident out of their rooms without having a conversation prior to a move request. Staff (S1-S2) stated the facility has not forced residents to move out of their room unless for an emergency due to maintenance. Staff (S2) stated resident (R1) requested to move out of his room last month and resident (R1) has now retracted that statement and does not want to move out of his room. Resident (R2-R3) stated they have never heard of any residents being requested to move from their room by the facility. LPA interviewed witness (W1) who stated resident (R1) has requested to move out of his room last month and the facility agreed to move resident (R1) from his room based on his request. Resident (R1) has decided not to move from his room. Witness (W1) stated this is not the first time resident (R1) has requested a move and then decided not to move from his room. Resident (R2), staff (S2) and witness (W1) have no issues if resident (R1) stays in his current room. Based on LPA’s interviews conducted and records reviews, the preponderance of evidence standard has not been met. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is Unsubstantiated
