Summary
Facility staff failed to conduct thorough investigations into allegations of abuse involving two residents. In one case, twenty-one different staff members worked on the unit during the timeframe when an alleged incident may have occurred, but statements were not obtained from all staff present during that period. In another case, not all staff who worked during the time a resident's bruise was discovered were interviewed, including a CMA, GNA, and a female staff member. The Administrator confirmed that some staff, such as a GNA and dining room attendant, were not interviewed as part of the investigation. These omissions were identified through record review and staff interviews during the recertification survey.
