INVESTIGATION REVEALED THE FOLLOWING:
Allegation #1: Questionable deaths.
It is alleged that staff neglect led to the deaths of residents. Reports indicated that staff neglect led to the deaths of some residents and that the system at Hayworth is unethical, with ongoing issues. No further details were available.
On August 27, 2026, between 10:45 AM and 2:00 PM, the Department interviewed staff members identified as Staff #1 through Staff #4 (S1-S4). Four (4) out of the four (4) could not validate this claim. The interviews carried out did not reveal any proof suggesting that the facility staff showed negligence, failed to deliver sufficient care, or participated in actions that could have led to the reported deaths.
On August 27, 2026, between 01:00 PM and 2:30 PM, the Department interviewed residents identified as Resident #2 through Resident # 5 (R2-R5). Four (4) out of the four (4) could not support this claim. Residents interviewed all stated that they have not observed any suspicious or questionable deaths in the facility.
Resident #1 (R1) was not available for an interview as several telephone calls went unanswered.
On August 28, 2026, between 12:02 PM and 12:20 PM, the Department interviewed witness identified as Witness #1 (W1). (W1) claimed to be unaware of (R1's) assertion regarding questionable or suspicious deaths, as (R1) has never raised any such issues.
The Department performed a review of resident records. It determined that the medical conditions of residents who were hospitalized in the last six months were accurately documented and aligned with their decline. Further review of records found that the facility provided standards in its documentation, reporting, and communication with medical professionals. No discrepancies were found.
There were no witness statements, documentation, or observations supported the allegation that the deaths were questionable or resulted from facility action or inaction.
Based on the information gathered, the Department was unable to establish that the facility violated any regulations or contributed to the residents’ questionable deaths.
