INVESTIGATIONS REVEALED: ALLEGATION: Resident lost 5 lbs a day for not eating. It is alleged Resident #1 (R1) lost five (5) lbs a day for not eating. Based on R1's admission agreement, R1 was admitted to the facility on 8/8/2022. R1’s Physician's Report dated 7/26/2022 shows R1 weighed 103 lbs. There is no available record showing R1's current weight during the incident (9/8/2022). Based on LPA's interview with Staff (S1-S4) and Residents (R2, R6 and R7), they have not observed any residents losing five (5) lbs a day. Staff (S1-S4) stated R1's body frame is petite and R1's eats low- carb diet. LPA attempted to contact potential witnesses (W1-W4) to obtain additional information but LPA was unable to reach them. Based on LPA’s interviews and record review, there is no sufficient evidence to corroborate the above 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 above allegation is Unsubstantiated An exit interview was conducted with House Manager Albert Simon, and a hard copy of the report was provided.
