During their interview, W2 also stated they were unsure if a doctor’s order for compression socks had been obtained and stated W1 had a background in healthcare and may have believed it was best that R1 wear compression socks. W2 denied having any knowledge of whether or not R1’s bedrails were being used. Regarding the allegation, Resident was not accorded sufficient space in their accommodation, the following was revealed: It is alleged R1’s bed is pushed to the side and the room is not shared equally as R1’s roommate has more space for their belongings.

Due to conflicting information received during interviews conducted, LPA is unable to determine if Resident's needs were not met, if Resident was not accorded sufficient space in their accommodation, or if Staff left resident in unhygienic conditions. Although the above allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore at this time the above allegations are unsubstantiated.
