32 | Regarding the allegation: Staff are in violation of residents’ personal rights. It was alleged that staff have violated residents’ personal rights. To investigate the allegation, LPA attempted interviews with five (5) residents and two (2) staff members. LPA’s interview with three (3) of the five (5) residents denied staff locking them in their room/bed, leaving them unattended and taking away their personal belongings. LPA attempted to interview R4 and R5 but due to their inability to validate the questions being asked, LPA terminated the interview. LPA’s interview with both staff members revealed that a former staff member, who has been terminated but refuses to leave the premises, has caused issues among staff and residents. LPA’s interview with S1 revealed they are in the process with the courts to take care of the matter and have ensured that the residents will not be left alone with said ex-employee. During LPA’s physical plant tour, LPA observed S2 to be present and assisting the residents. LPA did not observe the residents to be left alone or unattended.
Based on interviews and observations, there is not enough information to verify the allegation. Therefore, the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED at this time.
Regarding the allegation: Uncleared adults are supervising residents. It was alleged that staff members were working without obtaining proper background clearance. To investigate the allegation, LPA conducted interviews with three (3) residents and two (2) staff members. LPA’s interview with all three (3) residents revealed there are two (2) main caregivers (S2 and S3). LPA’s interview with S1 revealed that a former staff member, who was mentioned by the Reporting Party (RP), is no longer employed by the facility. LPA’s interview with all three (3) residents and two (2) staff members declined that an additional staff member, mentioned by the RP, has not worked at the facility.
