On August 7, 2024, LPA Monter interviewed staff S1-S6. 6 Out of 6 staff interviewed denied the allegation that staff were touching residents inappropriately, when given showers. LPA Monter interviewed residents R2-R6. 4 Out of 6 residents (R2-R4) interviewed stated staff do not touch residents in an inappropriate manner when given showers. Resident R5 was unable to respond to LPA's questions due to neurocognitive disorder. Resident R6 stated he/she declined to be interviewed. A review of R1’s physicians report dated, December 13, 2022, states R1 has a neurocognitive disorder, with intermittent confusion. A review of R1’s Needs and Services Plan (ANS), dated January 6, 2023, states R1 R1 requires limited assistance 2 times per week. (Limited being defined by the Needs and services plan as; “requires extensive assistance for all bathing/showering needs.”). The ANS also states R1 has a neurocognitive disorder. Based on investigation, records reviewed, and interviews conducted, the Department found that the above allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED. An unsubstantiated finding indicates that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the allegations did or did not occur. This report was reviewed with Administrator Kurt Gursu and a copy of the report was provided. Page 2 Out of 2. END OF REPORT.
