Complaint Investigation Report

It was confirmed during the interviews with two out of the two staff that R1 stores the medications inside the pink lock box placed next to their recliner. R1 did not have a lock for the lockbox as the room is a for a single occupant. Four out of the five staff and one out of the one resident interviewed stated that they did not observe S1 stealing the medication. However, a witness staff indicated that S1 was observed to be on the second floor heading towards the direction of R1's room. S1 denied the allegation stating that they did not assist R1 in their bedroom on May 30th. LPA observed there were no surveillance cameras on the second floor.

Therefore, based on the interviews which were conducted and the records that were reviewed, although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the following allegation: Staff stole the resident's medication is deemed UNSUBSTANTIATED.

An exit interview was conducted with Executive Director Troy Byington, and a copy of this report including the LIC811s were provided at the end of the visit.
