32 | It was further revealed that upon observation of the proposed room, it was determined that this room would be a shared room and would not accommodate R1’s bed and other belongings due to its small size. LPA confirmed the size of the room as 10’X10’ and to be too small through observation conducted on 8-19-2026. Interviews and observations also revealed that although the room was offered, R1 was not ultimately moved to the proposed room after requesting to remain in her current room. Additionally, interviews did not reveal corroborated evidence suggesting facility staff did not allow other reasonable accommodations in relation to resident room choices. As a result, the preponderance of evidence standard is not met, and this allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
Allegation: Staff threatened resident. LPA conducted interviews and observation as noted above. This allegation specifically states that facility staff threatened to move R1 to another room regardless of her choice not to move. Based on interviews conducted, a previous proposal was made by facility’s staff manager to move R1 to another room for purposes of accommodating needs. Further interviews revealed that although such a proposal took place, there was no corroborating evidence or statements to confirm that R1 was threatened by house manager or other staff in relation to this proposed room change. As a result, the preponderance of evidence standard is not met, and this allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
Allegation: Staff are not assisting resident with using wheelchair. LPA conducted interviews, record reviews, and observation as noted above. Based on interviews and record reviews, it was revealed that R1 is non-ambulatory and requires assistance with activities of daily living including transfers. Interviews conducted revealed that staff have attempted to transfer R1 to her wheelchair, however, the event has been limited due to R1’s stated complaints of pain when transferring from her wheelchair back to bed. Interviews and record reviews did not reveal corroborating evidence to suggest staff have not assisted resident with using wheelchair. An observation by LPA on 8-19-2026 revealed R1’s wheelchair in place and next to R1’s bed. As a result, there is not a preponderance of evidence to provide staff is not assisting resident with using wheelchair, therefore, this allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
A finding of unsubstantiated means the allegation may have happened or is valid, but there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred.
An exit interview was conducted with house manager and a copy of this report was provided. Appeal rights provided.
