Due to the large number of people who were going to participate, the facility decided to divide the brunch into (2) sessions to accommodate family and residents, and residents who were not participating with family. The concern was the residents who were not participating, versus the residents who were participating in the brunch. It was alleged they were treated differently and did not provide the same food as the participants who were with family. (Cont'd LIC9099C) Unsubstantiated Administration reported to LPA that everyone was served the same food, except the non-participants food was plated and served by kitchen staff. Administration also revealed to LPA that residents were provided constant reminders regarding the luncheon. Although the Administration did state, there could have been a better way of organizing the event, but overall, there was only (1) complaint from the residents, and others reported they were happy and enjoyed the luncheon put together by the facility. Interviews by residents reported to LPA, some did not participate due to being with their family, and others reported the luncheon was nice and they appreciated the efforts by the facility. Administration held a resident’s council meeting, to ensure they accommodate all residents uniformly. Overall, residents had a good time, and enjoyed the festivities provided by facility staff. Therefore, based on interviews, there is insufficient evidence to prove residents were not provided comfortable accommodations, and the allegation is Unsubstantiated at this time.

Specifically, concerns were raised that the dining area designated for participating residents was esthetically pleasing, well decorated, and organized, whereas the area designated for non-participating residents appeared plain and lacked comparable decorations. Administration reported that the event was divided into separate sessions to accommodate the anticipated number of residents and family members attending. Administration acknowledged that the event could have been organized more effectively; however, they stated that only one resident expressed dissatisfaction with the event. Administration further reported that the event was intended to celebrate all residents and was not designed to exclude or diminish any residents’ experience. Interviews conducted with residents revealed that some residents did not participate because they chose to spend time with family members, while others reported attending the luncheon and enjoying the event.

There were approximately four resident apartments that were affected. Included in the reports was an immediate action taken by the licensee to have the pest control company service the facility. Unsubstantiated Interviews conducted with the ED and staff were made between 9:00am to 11:00am confirm that approximately four resident apartments were affected by insects in July, September and October 2025, but were treated immediately by a pest control company. Since October, there were no additional issues with insects at the facility. Between 11:00am to 12:00pm, interviews with ten (10) of ten residents do not corroborate with the allegation that the licensee not insuring the facility is free from bed bugs, as some resident state that there is a pest control company that comes often to service the facility. Between 12:00pm and 1:00pm, LPA conducted a record review of facility invoice and records from the pest control company. Record review reveal that Western Exterminator Company was hired for service.

Allegation investigated: Neglect by facility staff resulted in severe dehydration to resident. Facility staff did not follow admission agreement. Facility staff did not properly notify resident's responsible person of rate changes. Facility staff did not answer communications from resident's responsible person.

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Michael Cava conducted a subsequent complaint visit to the facility to conclude the investigation regarding the above allegations. The ten day visit was made by LPAs Ray Comer and Michael Cava on 02/29/24. LPA met with the Administrator, Lance Shenk, and Health Service Director, Adriana Sais, and advised them of the complaint. During the course of the investigation, interviews and record review were made. A physical plant inspection also conducted to insure compliance with regulation. Neglect by facility staff resulted in severe dehydration to resident: In regards to the allegation, it was reported that on or around 10/3/23 Resident 1 (R1) was sent to the hospital, and was admitted for being disoriented, unbalanced, unable to walk and speak. The hospital found that the symptoms were due to a severe Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) and severe dehydration sustained while at the facility because of staff neglect. R1 was diagnosed with hypernatremia and required two IV bags. After returning to the facility, R1 never regained the ability to ambulate. Unsubstantiated Interviews with facility staff, and record review reveal that at admission to the facility, R1 already has an impairment and diagnosis causing for them not to keep hydrated and drink enough water, resulting into the UTI and dehydration. Additional information received from these interviews and record review, also reveal that at admission, R1 already had a history of UTI and kidney stones. R1’s responsible person always had to push for R1 to drink fluids to stay hydrated. Despite the facility’s care plan in addressing R1’s inability to keep hydrated, R1 still showed resistance to drinking and keeping fluids down, due to their mental condition. On or around October 3, 2023, there is documentation of a fall, resulting in medical treatment for dehydration. R1 was discharged and returned to facility 10/05/23, with instructions to encourage frequent hydration. Regarding R1 never regaining the ability to ambulate, interviews made with facility staff and record review reveal that R1 was already non-ambulatory when admitted into the facility, requiring the use of a wheelchair at times. Moreover, R1 was admitted with their own wheelchair. Based on the information obtained, although there was record of a fall caused by possible dehydration, there wasn’t enough evidence to prove that neglect by facility staff caused for R1 to become dehydrated. Therefore, the allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time. Facility staff did not follow admission agreement/ Facility staff did not properly notify resident's responsible person of rate changes. In regards to the allegation, it was reported that since hospice staff have taken over certain responsibilities, the licensee is finding new things to charge for, such as “hospice interface” and continuing to charge for showers on non-hospice days. Moreover, staff are not logging showers to prove showers are being provided to R1. Interviews with facility staff reveal that that on or around January 31, 2024, due to the progression of R1’s condition and diagnosis, their primary physician ordered hospice care. Hospice care plan was initiated for once a week, of which, assistance with showers is included. Although some services, such as incontinence services were dropped from service points on the facility’s care system, there was a hospice collaboration points added to the admission agreement. Hospice and home health collaboration is always explained to the resident, and their responsible person, prior to admission. Moreover, assistance with bathing, which R1 did require, was still in the admission agreement, scheduled for two times per week, which was already agreed upon. Facility did maintain a shower log, as proof assistance with showers were provided and as agreed. Copies of these logs were provided to the responsible person. Copies also obtained by LPA during the investigation. R1’s responsible person was explained of these charges and new charges for both the addition and subtraction for services. R1's responsible person acknowledged, agreed and signed the documentation for the charges. Staff stated that without the responsible persons agreement to the new services and their signatures, hospice service would not have started. Based on the information obtained, there was insufficient evidence to prove that staff did not follow R1’s admission agreement, or the licensee did not notify R1’s responsible person of rate changes. Therefore, the allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time. Facility staff did not answer communications from resident's responsible person. In regards to the allegation, it was reported that R1’s responsible person has attempted to call and email the licensee, trying to get clarification on the facility charges received on a statement dated 2/23/24 for the hospice interface and additional showers, but no response by the licensee was made. These charges were back dated to about 02/01/24. Interviews with facility staff and record review (copies of email interaction) confirm that there was communication between the facility business office, and R1’s responsible person to discuss the order placed by R1’s physician to initiate hospice service, the hospice care plan, changes to R1’s care, and rate charges and subtractions to R1’s admission agreement for services to be provided by the facility. R1’s responsible person acknowledged these changes and services, and the initiation for the hospice care., which they agreed and signed on for these services to start. Without the responsible person’s agreement and signature, hospice services would not have initiated. Based on the information obtained, there was insufficient evidence to prove that staff did not communicate with R1’s responsible person regarding clarification on their hospice service. Therefore, the allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Oct 11, 2024 · control 31-AS-20240228094940

Allegation investigated: Facility staff restrained resident.

Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Ray Comer and Michael Cava conducted a complaint visit to the facility to investigate the above allegation. It was reported that facility staff had “sandwiched" Resident 1 (R1) between a wall and the table intentionally to keep them from falling over. This was observed several times during facility visits. Photos were obtained prior to investigation. LPAs met with the administrator, Matthew La Vine, and advised him of the complaint. Todays investigations consisted of interviews with staff, record review, and a physical plant inspection. Although, during the day's investigation, both LPAs Comer and Cava did not observe R1 "sandwiched" between the wall and table, the LPA interviews with staff confirm that caregivers would bring the table close to R1 to assist in feeding and restrict movement to minimize R1 from pushing their wheelchair over.
