Training must cover individualized care plans, behavioral expressions, appropriate supervision, and the facility's dementia care philosophy.

R1 was found on the floor and had an unwitnessed fall. R1 indicated that R2 pushed them. R1’s Daily Log, dated July 30, 2025, indicated that R2 pushed them down. According to staff schedules and timecards, there were three (3) care staff present at the care home, with no med tech on duty, at the time of the incident on July 30, 2025. Staff interviews indicated that, due to the facility not having a med tech on duty, staff (S2) was responsible for passing medications. Staff interviews indicated that S2 was pulling medications at the time of the incident between R1 and R2 leaving two (2) care staff available to assist residents. Interviews with staff (S3) and S2 indicated that, upon response to R1’s fall, R1 informed them that they were pushed by R2.

However, staff interviews also indicated that the facility was aware of R2’s aggressive behaviors and did not ensure there were enough staff scheduled based on the care needs of the residents.

A complaint investigation was conducted into allegations that staff did not provide prescribed medications, did not meet a resident's showering needs, did not intervene in a verbal altercation between residents, and spoke inappropriately to a resident. The investigation found no evidence to substantiate the medication allegation—records showed the resident received medications as prescribed—and could not substantiate the other three allegations due to lack of specific information, witness accounts, or corroborating details. All interviewed residents reported feeling safe at the facility and satisfied with care.

Then effective February 3, 2025, PRN Ativan 0.5mg was changed to one tablet by mouth three times a day as needed.

Therefore, allegation is unfounded. Based on the information obtained, the Department concluded that the allegations are unfounded. A finding that an allegation is unfounded means that the allegation is false, could not have happened, and/or is without a reasonable basis. An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of the report was provided. 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 LIC 9099-C(1) For the allegation, Facility staff did not ensure that resident's showering needs are being met, the Department conducted several interviews.

Staff are to isolate the aggressor to see if they want to do any activities.

Executive Director reported that this alleged incident was not brought to their attention and there was not enough information to investigate further.
