Following is a summary of the investigation findings:
Regarding allegation “Staff do not prevent the residents from using illicit drugs”: Investigation into this allegation consisted of record review, resident and staff interviews conducted by LPA Chochian and IB Investigator Jasmine Thomas. All seven (7) residents interviewed denied allegation and reported that they have not observed any drug use at the facility, nor have they seen anyone drinking alcohol. Residents reported feeling safe at the facility. Staff interviews reflected that there have been incidents where residents were intoxicated, smoking in rooms and were using illicit drugs however, immediate action was taken, and residents were issued warnings. Administrator further stated that intoxication, smoking in bedrooms and the use of illicit drugs are prohibited in the facility and residents are issued written warnings and law enforcement is contacted, if needed. Based on the information obtained during the investigation, the Department does not have sufficient evidence to corroborate the allegation. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is insufficient evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the above allegation “Staff do not prevent the residents from using illicit drugs” is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time.
Regarding allegation “Staff do not keep the facility free from bug infestation”, Investigation consisted of resident room checks, interviews with random residents and staff. One (1) out of seven (7) residents interviewed reported that they have bed bug activity in their room. R1 confirmed that their room was sprayed for bugs approximately one month ago, however the bug issue did not resolve. R1 confirmed that management agreed to have the room sprayed again. During the tour, both LPA and IB Investigator observed R1’s room to be unkempt. Interview with staff and pest control invoices observed R1’s room was sprayed a month ago for bed bug prevention and it was recently inspected by facility staff and pest control for any bed bug activity.
