32 | Regarding the allegation: Staff kicked resident. It was alleged that S2 had struck R1. To investigate the allegation, LPA attempted interviews with six (6) residents and two (2) staff members. LPA attempted to interview R1, but they no longer reside at the facility and could not be contacted. LPA attempted to interview R2, R3, and R4 but due to their inability to validate the questions being asked, LPA terminated the interviews. LPA attempted to interview R5 and R6 but they were asleep. LPA’s interview with S1 revealed that R1 had called them on (5/18/2026) to tell them they lied about S2 striking them. Per S1, R1 became upset with S2 for not taking them out to smoke a cigarette. Additionally, S1 revealed, R1 would have hallucinations. LPA’s interview with S2 revealed that they have not hit or mistreated any residents. When questioned if R1 was struck by S2, both S1 and S2 denied the allegation.
LPA conducted a record review of R1’s Physician’s Report. LPA’s record review of the Physician’s Report revealed R1 was prescribed various medications due to their diagnosis. A web search of R1’s medication, revealed some of their medications to cause side effects such as, “….hallucinations, psychosis, and severe mood changes”. During LPA’s physical plant tour, LPA observed S2 to be assisting residents. In addition, LPA’s observation of residents’ interactions with S2 did not show any signs of them being in distress or discomfort surrounding S2’s presence at the facility.
Based on interviews, record review, and observation there is not enough information to verify the allegation. Therefore, the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED at this time.
No immediate health and safety issues observed during the day of the visit. Exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report was provided to the Administrator.
