Allegation: Staff prevented the resident from receiving a visitation.
LPA Bunker interviewed staff members #1 and #2 (S1–S2). Both staff members (2 out of 2) stated that residents are not prevented from receiving visitations. 2 out of 2 staff members stated that visiting hours are scheduled daily from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and reported that all residents are allowed visitors during these hours and confirmed that staff do not restrict or interfere with visitations. 2 out of 2 staff members stated that the facility maintains a Visitor Sign-In and Sign-Out sheet to document all visits, and the logs confirm that R1 is receiving visitors. Staff reported that they have never denied visitors access to the residents. S1-S2 denied the allegation.
LPA Bunker interviewed Residents #1–#4 (R1–R4). All four residents (4 out of 4) stated that staff do not prevent residents from receiving visitors and confirmed that their family members visit regularly during designated visiting hours. R1–R4 denied the allegation.
LPA Bunker also interviewed Witness #1 (W1), who stated that they were the Power of Attorney (POA) for medical decisions. W1 stated that R1 is not denied visitation and can receive visitors at the facility. W1 also stated that R1 is permitted to leave the facility for outings and off-site visits with family. W1 denied the allegation.
Based on interviews, available evidence, observation, information received, and records reviewed there was not enough evidence to support the allegations. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is deemed unsubstantiated.
There were no deficiencies cited. LPA Bunker provided Administrator Precious Dennis with copies of the Complaint Investigation Reports LIC-9099 and LIC-9099Cs. An exit interview was conducted.
