Findings
The Alleged Victim (AV) is care planned to have assistance with transfers. On or about August 29, 2021, Witness #6 (W6) assisted AV to the restroom. W6 left AV on the toilet with clothes and a wash cloth instead of assisting AV with cares as the care plan directs. AV pushed the call light to have assistance to be removed from the toilet, AV waited over 30 minutes to have staff come to help. AV suffered unreasonable discomfort and pain from being left on the toilet for an unreasonable amount of time. The facility's failure to timely answer the call light is a violation of resident rights, is considered neglect of care and constitutes abuse.
