Plain-language summary

This was a complaint investigation into multiple allegations about resident care, including falls, call button responsiveness, bathing, medical attention, and room cleanliness. All allegations were found to be unsubstantiated: staff documented that the resident was independent and not a fall risk, responded to call buttons within 5-7 minutes, followed a shower schedule, and the facility maintained clean rooms with regular trash pickup and laundry service—none of which were contradicted by interviews or record review. The resident declined medical care and staff found no evidence supporting claims of infection, pests, or neglect.

Cont. from LIC 9099 It was alleged that the resident #1 (R1) fell out of bed the day he was admitted to the facility. Staff revealed that fall risk residents are identified during initial assessment. Based on initial assessment, if the resident is a fall risk, they draft specific plan of action with preventive measures. R1 was fully independent and not a fall risk resident. Although R1 was not a fall risk, they requested assistance two (2) times. First time for fall incident and second time after injuring themselves in the bathroom. For both incidents R1 was assisted by the staff and no medical attention was required. Residents interviewed during this investigation did not address any concerns regarding their assistance. A review of R1’s facility file revealed that R1 was admitted as an independent resident. R1 was not identified as a fall risk and did not require frequent checks or specific supervision to prevent falls. No information or evidence was available to support the allegation. Therefore, based on interviews, and record review, the allegation is unsubstantiated at this time. Staff are not answering resident call buttons in a timely manner. It was alleged that R1 pushed the button on their neck alert and no one came to his room. R1 called family members to call the Facility so that they could pick him up. The Staff call 911 to lift R1. Staff interviewed during this visit revealed that when residents push their pendant usually, they try to respond as soon as possible. Sometime residents not only push call buttons, but also either call front desk or their responsible party may call front desk. Average time to respond is between 7 to 10 min. Staff #1 (S1) and staff #2 (S2) stated that R1 used their pendant 2 times and both times they responded within 5-7 minutes. The information provided during investigation does not support the allegation. Therefore, based on interviews, observation, and record review, the allegation is unsubstantiated at this time. Staff are not meeting residents’ bathing needs. It was alleged that on June 26, 2025, when R1 was getting ready for the doctor’s appointment, R1 smelled as if they hadn’t been bathed/showered in days. Staff indicated that they have shower schedule and they are following shower shceduel. Staff were unable to recall providing shower assistance to the R1. Other residents interviewed during this visit did not address any concerns regarding their bathing assistance. A review of R1’s record verifies that R1 did not require bathing assistance. The information provided during investigation does not support the allegation. Therefore, based on interviews and record review, the allegation is unsubstantiated at this time. Cont. on LIC 9099-C 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 Cont.

Staff interviewed during investigation were unable to recall seeing R1’s foot swollen. They stated R1 was able to ambulate and never complained about their foot or legs getting swollen. S1 and S2 verified that there were 2 instances when they assisted R1 and both times R1 was assisted by the caregivers and med techs and did not articulate any pain or discomfort. R1 insisted that he does not require medical care. A review of R1’s file revealed that a resident did not have a health condition requiring specific follow up or medical assistance/care. R1’s health condition was not changed during their stay in the facility. Records verified the information provided by staff. Other residents interviewed during investigation did not reveal any information regarding their medical care or timely medical assistance. Based on interviews and record review, there is not enough information and/or evidence to verify the allegations. Therefore, the allegations are deemed unsubstantiated at this time. Staff did not adequately ensure residents’ room was clean and orderly Staff did not ensure residents laundry was washed Staff were not properly addressing pests in the facility It was reported that R1 room often had rotting food, trash was piled, laundry was not being washed, and there were bugs all over R1’s bed, clothes, and in the linen closet."
