complaint·December 4, 2024

9099C-1... The Administrator stated assistance is needed from home health staff to train facility staff on how to transfer resident from their bed to their wheelchair for meals and bathing, occupational therapy and a nurse to assist with medication, since resident is diabetic. The Administrator stated that she stated the only reason given to the resident for issuing a possible eviction was due to staff not being able to transfer resident from bed, and "never told (R1) that she was evicting (R1) due to filing a compliant" and stated "it's her right- I wouldn't do that". The Administrator stated she also told (R1) that she would be following up with the Department LPA as far as next steps prior to issuing a written notice. LPA received an email on 11/27/24 (2:53 pm) from the Administrator asking for next steps after confirming with a placement specialist (R1) does not qualify for home health services. The Administrator followed up with LPA by phone on 12/4/24 (9:33 am), requesting a call back. The (R1) stated to LPA on 12/4/24 that she was given two reasons for a possible eviction and those reasons are for filing a complaint and because she didn't have in-home health care. (R1) confirmed she was told she had (7) days to move but has not been given a written notice yet. (R1) provided a contact for the placement specialist for additional information. (R1) stated she is able to reposition herself and staff also has been helping to reposition her every 2 hours. LPA and Administrator contacted the placement specialist during today's inspection who confirmed (R1) is eligible for home health services and the prior social worker stopped working at the skilled nursing just after (R1) was discharged. Administrator will follow up in person today with another social worker and/or the Director of Nursing about getting home health started at the care home as soon as possible, since it was never followed through on. The Administrator will not issue a (30) day written eviction notice until it is confirmed with the Director of Nursing or the assigned social worker (R1) is eligible for home health services. LPA advised the Administrator and (R1) that a (30) day eviction notice must be issued for a legal eviction. Based on information obtained, LPA finds the allegation to be UNSUBSTANTIATED- a finding that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred.
