Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

During this incident a staff member was in her designated live in quarters sleeping and was made aware of the altercation after R2 knocked on her door. Staff member was awakened and began to intervene. It was further revealed through interviews and record reviews that although staff member was physically inside the facility, staff member was not present for purposes of immediate intervention. Additional interviews and record reviews revealed that additional supervision was necessary during this time period due to various resident activity leading to potential threats to other residents’ physical, verbal, and resident rights. As a result, it is determined that a lack of appropriate supervision was not in place during this time period and was necessary to initially address the altercation before further escalation. Based on evidence reviewed, the preponderance of evidence standard is met, and this allegation is SUBSTANTIATED. Allegation: Staff do not assist residents during the night hours. LPA conducted interviews and record reviews as noted above. Based on interviews and record reviews, it was revealed that although a staff member lives in the facility and occupies a separate living quarter, facility did not schedule a staff member for on-call care and supervision duties between the hours of 11pm and 7am.
