Complaint Investigation
Deficiencies: 1 Date: Jan 3, 2024

Visit Reason
The inspection was conducted as a complaint investigation based on allegations that a resident was restricted from using the phone and having private conversations, a resident had lost weight and needed dental work, and a social worker withheld information from a resident.

Complaint Details
The complaint investigation included three allegations: 1) a resident was restricted from using the phone and having private conversations, 2) a resident had lost weight and needed dental work, and 3) a social worker withheld information from a resident. The phone restriction was substantiated and corrected, the dental work and weight loss issue was addressed with an appointment and transportation arranged, and the social worker allegation was unsubstantiated.
Findings
The investigation found that some facility staff were limiting a resident's access to the phone, which was corrected and staff were educated. The concern about the social worker withholding information was unsubstantiated. The facility failed to meet Assisted Living Facility requirements related to the communication system, resulting in a citation.

Deficiencies (1)
