Staff forced resident to have blood drawn. During the course of the investigation, LPA conducted interviews and obtained documentation pertinent to the investigation. During interviews, Staff stated I have never forced a resident to have their blood drawn. Staff stated If a resident doesn’t want their blood drawn, we don’t make them. Staff stated I didn’t know that R1 didn’t want labs drawn. During LPA Bensons visit, staff verified with the lab and the resident did have her blood drawn. During resident interviews the resident R1 stated on 7-2-25 very early in the morning the medication technician opened the door and let in the lab staff. R1 reported the med. tech stated that the lab was here to draw my blood. R1 stated I told the medication technician I didn’t want my blood drawn. R1 stated the med. tech. told the lab staff to take my blood. R1 stated it was early, I was still drowsy and I ask who authorized this blood draw, they said they didn’t know. R1 stated I was so sleepy I didn’t tell them no, I was still in my pj’s. The resident stated I didn’t tell them no and therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated. Although the above allegations mentioned may have happened, or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred, the findings are Unsubstantiated. No citations were issued per Title 22 Regulations. Exit interview conducted and copy of the report was given to Administrator.
