Regarding allegation, Staff did not ensure residents room wasn't in disrepair, the following was revealed: It is alleged that upon move-in, R1’s room was not ready and still in the process of being remodeled and R1 did not have water or a sink for a few days. During their interview, R1 stated that upon moving into the facility, there were boxes all over the room because it was still being painted, and their television did not work. Resident 4 (R4) and R1 moved into the facility on the same date and were placed in rooms directly next to one another. During their interview, R4 denied anything in their room being in disrepair upon moving in, including their television. Four of four additional residents interviewed denied their room being in disrepair upon moving in and stated their television has been and continues to be operable. During their interview, two of two staff denied having any knowledge of anything in R1’s room or any other resident’s room being in disrepair upon moving in.

They are very friendly and very helpful.” During their interview, two of two staff denied personally yelling or having any knowledge of any other staff yelling at a resident. (Cont. LIC9099-C) Regarding allegation, Staff did not safeguard resident’s food, the following was revealed: It is alleged an unknown staff member threw R1’s food away, which was placed in a facility fridge. During their interview, R1 was unable to confirm or deny the allegation and stated the only food they eat is what is provided by the facility. During their interview, R3 stated that at mealtimes they “eat everything on [their] plate” and have never had leftovers or food that needs to be safeguarded. Four of five additional residents interviewed stated they are provided with meals by the facility and if they have leftovers, the facility provides leftover containers, and they are able to bring them to their bedroom and eat them at their own discretion. Two of two staff denied having any knowledge of staff not safeguarding any resident’s food. Due to allegations being uncorroborated during interviews conducted, the Department is unable to determine if Staff were refusing to transport resident to pick up prescriptions, if Staff did not ensure resident was transported to doctor's appointment, if Staff did not ensure residents room wasn't in disrepair, if Staff yell at resident, or if Staff did not safeguard residents food. Although the above allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore at this time the above allegations are unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted and copy of this report was provided at the end of the inspection.
