The investigation revealed the following: Allegation: Staff do not ensure residents have adequate night time supervision. It is alleged that staff have been found sleeping at the desk during the night hours. LPA interviewed 5 staff (2 of which work nights) and 5 out of 5 staff denied the above allegation. 4 out of 5 Staff interviewed stated that they have never fallen asleep during their shift nor have they ever witnessed/heard of another staff sleeping during the night shift. LPA interviewed 5 residents and 4 out of 5 residents denied the above allegation and stated that they have never seen or heard of staff sleeping at night. Interviews with administrator and 2 night staff indicated that there are 3 night staff during each night shift. 5 out of 5 residents stated that they are provided with adequate night time supervision and are assisted if needed in a timely manner at night. LPA reviewed night surveillance footage from dates 12/22/23-12/25/23, 12/29/23-1/2/24 and 1/19/24-1/21/24, there were no signs of staff sleeping at the front desk/TV area or dining area during the night time hours of 6pm-6am. Based on statements and interviews conducted with staff and residents, and review of surveillance footage, 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 to Claudia Sanchez.
