LPA conducted interviews with staff, and residents, reviewed records and found that the facility provided the necessary tools to safeguard R1's belongings. When R1 checked in, R1's responsible party did not complete a client/resident personal property and valuables form. When a report was made that the ring was missing, the facility interviewed residents and each signed a statement that they looked for the ring, and could not locate it. The facility, also, sent out a memorandum to the residents to be on the lookout for a lost ring. In addition, LPA noted that there were no belongings found on R1 when R1 was picked up by the mortician from the facility. It was also alleged that there was not enough staff to assist the residents . Regarding the allegation, " Facility does not have adequate staff to meet the needs of the residents." LPA reviewed records for the time period that R1 resided at the facility, and found that there were on average approximately 15.8 care staff for 63 residents. Through interviews conducted during today's visit, LPA found that there were no staffing concerns with meeting the needs of residents. Therefore, the allegation, " Staff did not safeguard resident's personal belongings" and, "Facility does not have adequate staff to meet the needs of the residents" were found to be UNSUBSTANTIATED. A finding of UNSUBSTANTIATED means that 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. An exit interview was conducted where a copy of this report was discussed with and provided to Administrator Brittany Holm along with a copy of the LIC811.
