Complaint Investigation Report

Interview with the Administrator said that they did not have a resident who used a restraint. A review of residents’ records revealed that there were no residents who had an approved physician’s order for a postural support. During a tour of the facility on 12/13/2022, LPA observed the bed and did not see a belt on or near the residents’ bed or on any of the residents. There is not sufficient evidence to support the allegation.

It was alleged that the facility did not provide residents with clean linens. Specifically, that the residents were only provided clean linens in preparation for a visit. Interviews with outside sources were not able to corroborate the allegation. Interview with the Administrator said that the linens were changed on a weekly basis. During a tour of the facility on 12/13/2022, LPA observed that the linens were clean and in good condition. Based on the evidence and observations obtained, there is not sufficient evidence to confirm the allegation.

Based on the Department’s investigation of the above-mentioned allegations and the evidence obtained during staff and outside sources interviews and records reviewed, there is not sufficient evidence to meet the preponderance of evidence standard. Therefore, the above allegations are deemed to be unsubstantiated.
