Allegation investigated: Lack of staff resulting in resident's care needs not being met

Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Victoria Bertozzi arrived unannounced to initiate a complaint investigation regarding the above allegation and met with Administrator, Oshinnah Savage. Documents were obtained and LPM conducted interviews. Complaint alleges that a resident reported that they were wet and had been waiting for help stating that they had been waiting for 8 hours. Per complaint, staff indicated that they were the only caregiver assisting residents as the other caregiver was in the kitchen. Caregiver denied that the resident had been waiting 8 hours. Interview with Administrator indicated that there were not any residents that required two staff to assist them with transferring or other Activities of Daily Living. Continued on LIC9099C Unsubstantiated Continued from LIC9099 Per review of staffing schedule at least two staff are on duty at all times with the exception of three of seven days where a staff was by themselves after 8:00pm until the NOC staff arrived. There is one staff scheduled for the NOC shift. Per Administrator, the facility will staff additional staff at night when there are residents who choose to stay up later. Three of three staff interviewed denied feeling overwhelmed or that they were unable to assist residents timely. Two residents were identified as able to be interviewed with one of the identified residents refusing an interview. Resident interviewed indicated that they receive "fast" assistance but have had at least one instance of being wet though they were unable to share how long they were wet or any details around the situation. Per Administrator, nine of ten residents wear incontinence briefs noting that some are able to change their own briefs while others only wear them as a precaution. Residents are toileted every two hours regardless of incontinence status with one resident being toileted every half hour to hour. Although the allegation that Lack of staff resulting in resident's care needs not being met may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation(s) did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated. No deficiencies cited during this investigation. Administrator will be emailed this report as printer is unavailable.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Jun 15, 2026 · control 21-AS-20260608091429
