Complaint Investigation Report

LPA Mknelly interviewed the facility Administrator and kitchen personnel as well as received a copy of the facility's "Cannot transfer/ Able to transfer" list that was posted in the dining area on 3/11/22.

It was found that a policy was in place that required R1 to move from her wheelchair to a dining chair. In order to inform staff of who is to be transferred for meals, a list was posted thereby divulging personal private information about a resident to others.

LPA informed Administrator and kitchen staff that both the required seating and the public list were both violations of personal rights. The list was removed to a place only viewable by staff and alternative seating arrangements were to be instituted by the facility.
