Bradley Estates: Abuse Investigation Response Gaps - WI
On the morning of December 30, inspectors sat down with the council president, identified in records as R15. She told them she had filed multiple complaints on behalf of council members and attendees. Not one had received a follow-up from the facility. She called it "extremely frustrating."
Two other residents said the same thing.
R31 attended the council meetings and confirmed complaints had been raised without any response from management. R29, who could only communicate by nodding or shaking her head, confirmed there had been ongoing complaints, including about food, and that the facility had never followed up.
The facility's own written policy, dated December 2006, laid out a clear process. Council minutes were to capture issues discussed and recommendations made to the administrator. The administrator was then required to review those minutes, gather responses from department heads, and present those responses at the next meeting, or sooner if the situation called for it.
That process, by every account inspectors collected, had not been happening.
A regional nurse interviewed the day before the inspection concluded told inspectors that all grievances were supposed to be resolved. She offered no explanation for why they hadn't been.
Inspectors cited the deficiency under the federal tag governing resident council rights, rating the level of harm as minimal or potential. The residents themselves described something harder to quantify: the experience of raising a concern, watching it go nowhere, raising it again the following month, and watching it go nowhere again.
R15 didn't say how long it had been going on. She didn't need to. The word she used was "months."
