Fredericka Manor.

Facility charting documented several incidents involving R1’s alcohol use, falls, and smoking indoors. On 2/17/26, a med tech checked on R1, who denied falling but smelled strongly of liquor. Later that day, the med tech found R1 sitting on the floor by the toilet; R1 stated their legs gave out and they intentionally sat down. Staff also found an empty liquor bottle next to R1’s recliner and a lit cigar in the room. On 2/18/26, staff found R1 smoking a cigar in their room, reminded them of the no smoking policy, and offered to escort them to the patio, which R1 refused. On 2/20/26 at 1:36 a.m., R1 paged staff and was found stuck between the toilet. They smelled of alcohol, and staff called 911 for hospital transport. Further documented incidents occurred on 3/3/26, 3/4/26, and 3/5/26. On 3/3/26, during dinner delivery, R1 was smoking and drinking liquor, prompting staff to notify security and the campus nurse. On 3/4/26 at 11:10 p.m., R1 paged staff and was found sitting on their living room floor, denying a fall. Earlier that morning, staff noticed cigar smoke in the hallway and notified security. On 3/5/26, R1 paged staff again and was found on the floor near their bed, stating they drank four ounces of vodka and could not recall if they hit their head. Staff called 911 for transport. Incident reports submitted to CCL reflect similar events on 10/28/25, 3/5/26, and 3/13/26, where R1 was found on the floor, smelled of alcohol, and was transported to the hospital. LPA interviewed R1 in their room. LPA observed multiple tobacco pipes, several ashtrays, loose tobacco scattered on the floor, an unopened bottle of beer, and a strong odor of smoke. R1 stated they are being evicted due to smoking violations. R1 told LPA that staff are “wonderful,” check on them frequently, and help whenever they ask. R1 also stated they have had their medical condition since birth and that it contributes to their tendency to fall. LPA interviewed several staff who assist R1. Staff 1, who oversees R1’s floor, stated they regularly offer R1 help with bathing, laundry, and escorting, but R1 consistently refuses, saying they will do it on their own later. Staff 1 stated they check on R1 at least every two hours because they are aware R1 drinks and smokes in their room. Staff 2 stated they work with R1 daily and that R1 smokes in their room one to two times a day, drinks liquor every day, and becomes intoxicated roughly once every two weeks. Staff 2 stated they check on R1 six to seven times a day to ensure they are safe. Staff 3 reported R1 is polite with them and often compliments them. Staff 3 also confirmed R1 regularly drinks and smokes in their room and stated they check on R1 about five times per shift due to R1 declining offered services. All staff interviewed stated that R1 consistently refuses assistance but that staff continue offering support and frequently monitor R1. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 The Resident Services Director stated the facility has been working closely with R1 and their family for an extended period in an effort to provide the support R1 needs. They stated staff have offered R1 medication management, shower assistance, weekly housekeeping, laundry services, and escorting to the patio smoking area. R1 repeatedly declines these services, including refusing housekeeping that is included in their contract. The director stated the building has a strict no open flames policy, but R1 continues to smoke indoors, leaving ashes scattered throughout the unit. They also stated that R1 openly identifies as an alcoholic and has experienced multiple falls related to alcohol use. The director expressed concern that R1 could fall asleep or pass out while smoking, creating a fire hazard. Due to ongoing safety violations and repeated refusal to comply with the no smoking policy, the director stated R1 was issued a 30 day notice to vacate on 3/3/26, with a required move out date of 4/2/26. Based on interviews, documentation, and observations, there is insufficient evidence showing the facility failed to supervise R1. R1 is assessed as fully independent, repeatedly refuses services, and continues unsafe behaviors due to personal choice rather than lack of staff involvement. Staff monitor R1 far more frequently than required, respond promptly to call pendant activations, redirect when possible, notify security, and call 911 when necessary. The incidents appear related to R1’s medical condition and their alcohol and tobacco use rather than any lack of supervision. Based upon the foregoing, the above listed allegation is unsubstantiated. This finding means that the preponderance of the evidence standard has not been met and the allegation is unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted with Corinna Norton. A copy of this report along with licensee rights (LIC 9058, 3/22) was provided to Corinna Norton whose signature below verifies receipt of these rights.

R1 stated they receive meal delivery and expect meals to be brought to the room daily. R1 also told LPA that they purposely did not press their call button that day to “prove a point,” believing staff should notice when they have not eaten. R1 stated meal delivery usually takes 45 minutes to an hour. R1 reported that staff have told them they sometimes avoid entering the room if R1 is sleeping because R1 becomes upset when awakened. R1 also stated that earlier in the year, workers were in their room fixing bathroom plumbing. R1 said workers walked in and out without concern for privacy and that R1 was never offered a temporary room. R1 stated the bathroom repairs lasted 21 days. R1’s bathing schedule is Thursday and Sunday. R1 stated they did not receive three Sunday baths in a row but did receive their Thursday baths. LPA interviewed several other residents on July 29,2025 and December 1, 2025. Residents interviewed reside on the same floor as R1. All residents reported no issues with food service, privacy, or care. LPA interviewed Staff 1 (S1) on December 1, 2025. S1 stated that R1 is very particular about how things should be done. S1 said R1’s mood can vary, especially after returning from medical visits. S1 confirmed R1 is scheduled for two baths per week and stated that if a bath is missed, it is usually because R1 refused. S1 explained that staff go to R1’s room when R1 calls but avoid unannounced entry because R1 becomes upset. LPA interviewed Staff 2 (S2) on December 1, 2025. S2 stated R1 likes tasks done in specific ways and becomes frustrated when they are not done exactly as requested. S2 confirmed R1’s bathing schedule. S2 stated that if R1 dislikes a certain staff member, R1 refuses a bath from that person, and staff must rearrange schedules to accommodate this. S2 recalled workers being in R1’s bathroom months ago but stated the work lasted only one or two days, not several weeks. S2 said staff only enter R1’s room if called because R1 becomes upset when staff enter without notice. Regarding food service, S2 said they deliver meals to multiple residents and delays may occur because they are also assisting with care tasks. S2 said they do not believe R1 ever missed a meal because one time when the kitchen did not receive R1’s order, R1 insisted S2 retrieve the meal immediately, and S2 did so. Manager of Maintenance (MM) stated R1 was offered a guest room during the bathroom repair period, but R1 refused the offer. MM stated R1 told them they do not use the bathroom at all. MM stated outside vendors were escorted and did not have a way to enter R1’s room freely. The bathroom had only one access point, and workers had to pass the pony wall to reach the repair area. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 A nearby light fixture was removed and later reinstalled after patching and painting. On December 1, 2025 the Director of Heath Services (DHS) stated that R1 does not receive wellness checks as part of their service plan. Staff check on R1 only during scheduled services or when R1 requests assistance. R1 has showers scheduled twice each week, but the schedule sometimes changes when R1 refuses a shower or prefers to wait for specific staff to return to work. LPA reviewed meal delivery procedures and logs. Records showed: Residents who want room delivery fill out a room-service meal form. Residents on regular delivery can fill out a form each time or have a standing order. For residents requiring escort service (including R1):A room service order form is completed by the resident, nursing staff, or by standing order. The meals-to-go server prepares the meal. Meals are placed on the bistro counter. Nursing staff pick up the meal, sign the delivery slip, and deliver it. Scheduled meal times are: Breakfast: 8:45 a.m. Lunch: 11:45 a.m. Dinner: 4:45 p.m. Based on the documented meal times and meal delivery process, R1’s reported 45-minute to one hour wait time falls within the documented delivery window. In regards to Bathing Needs: R1 reported missed Sunday baths, but staff and records showed baths were offered, and refusals and scheduling adjustments were involved. In regards to Food Service: R1 stated they missed meals but also reported they purposely did not call for help. Meal procedures and records show R1 was provided meals within the expected time frame. In regards to R1 being left attended: No evidence showed R1 was ignored. Staff check in during scheduled services or when R1 calls. In regards to R1's privacy rights being violated. No evidence showed that anyone violated R1’s privacy, and maintenance staff reported workers were escorted and did not have direct access to R1’s room. Based upon the foregoing, the above listed allegations are unsubstantiated. This finding means that the preponderance of the evidence standard has not been met and the allegations are unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted with Corinna Norton.

On June 22, 2021 the moving company received an email from R1 indicating that R1 wanted to remove the "unpacking" from their service. The moving company confirmed with R1 that R1 wanted to remove the "unpacking" service since the facility did not provide any unpacking services. Facility contact notes reveal that R1 was in regular communication with facility staff and outside vendor regarding R1's move to the assisted living section of the facility as well as R1's room accommodations. It should be noted that the R1 expressed a desire for facility staff to unpack R1's boxes. However, upon review of the admission agreement, it was confirmed that there was no explicit provision for staff unpacking boxes and personal belongings as part of the facility's services. This aspect was clarified through ongoing communication with R1 during the move-in process. It was alleged that staff were not following R1's special diet. It was reported that R1 had a "low carb diet" but staff continued to give R1 foods high in carbohydrates which caused R1's blood sugar levels to rise. LPA reviewed R1's meal order forms dated June 28, 2021 through August 22, 2021. R1's meal order forms revealed that R1 had the option of ordering "low carb" meals. Further review of the forms revealed an example of what R1 ordered for lunch; beef barley soup and crackers, ham and provolone and carrot and jicama sticks. An example of what R1 ordered for dinner; tossed salad, Salisbury steak and mixed vegetables. Review of dietary records and internal emails dated May 2021 through August 2021 revealed the Director of Dining Services was in regular communication with R1 regarding R1's special diet and R1's food options. Records review revealed R1's special diet was generally followed as prescribed, although R1 could select any items from the menu R1 desired, including carbohydrates. LPA Interviewed Director of Resident Services (DRS) who stated that R1 was at the facility less then six months. DRS stated that R1 was offered moving and unpacking services from a vendor that the facility utilized but R1 refused. DRS stated that R1 was unhappy with the facility meals and as a result the Director of Dining Services would sit down with R1 on a regular basis and R1 would select food items that met her dietary needs. Based upon the foregoing, the above listed allegations are unsubstantiated. This finding means that the preponderance of the evidence standard has not been met and the allegations are not valid. An exit interview was conducted with Corinna Norton. A copy of this report along with licensee rights (LIC 9058, 3/22) was provided to Corinna Norton whose signature below verifies receipt of these rights.
