The details of the complaint alleged that the facility does not provide adequate supervision, leading to conflicts and altercations with the residents. On 09/17/25, from 9:30am-2:00pm, the department interviewed staff (S1-S4) and residents (R1-R8) regarding the allegation. 4 of 4 staff denied the allegation that Staff does not provide adequate supervision resulting in resident physically abusing another resident(s). All staff (S1-S4) stated the facility has more than enough staff to provide adequate care and supervision for the residents. They also state that on occasion some residents do have behavior problems and arguments with other residents and staff. They state that when these situations occur, there are staff present and available to counsel, coach, and redirect the resident’s behavior and to prevent things from going any further. They further state that when a resident makes contact with staff or another resident, it is documented and reported to the Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD), the resident’s physician, Ombudsman, family, and any other parties that may have power of attorney over the resident.

The department interviewed residents (R1-R8) about the allegation and 8 of 8 residents that were interviewed stated that there is enough staff to adequately care for and supervise the residents in the facility. They also stated that they feel safe living in the community among the staff and the other residents.

The department did not find any evidence that the facility failed to have proper staffing, causing the residents to be unsupervised.

Based on interviews, and records reviewed, there is insufficient evidence to support the allegation that Staff does not provide adequate supervision resulting in resident physically abusing another resident(s). Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is Unsubstantiated.

Allegation #2- Staff is wrongfully evicting resident.

The details of the complaint alleged that the facility is wrongfully evicting the resident (R1) because of cameras in the residents’ room and violating general policies. On 09/17/25, from 9:30am-2:00pm, the department interviewed staff (S1-S4) and residents (R1-R8) regarding the allegation. 4 of 4 staff denied the allegation that Staff is wrongfully evicting resident. Staff (S1) stated that the resident (R1) was not wrongfully evicted. S1 stated that an eviction notice was issued to R1 on 05/21/2025, due to violating the facilities admission agreement. S1 stated that use of unauthorized video surveillance devices with an audio component, was a contributing factor to the eviction notice, which is not allowed at the facility as stated in the admission agreement which was signed by R1s responsible party on 08/24/2024. S1 further stated that the resident violated other general policies of the facility, such as violent behavior towards staff and other residents.

The department interviewed residents (R1-R8) about the allegation and 7 of 8 residents that were interviewed stated that they have not been issued an eviction notice or are being wrongfully evicted. They state that they are happy living at the facility and feel safe in their community.

The department reviewed the Eviction Notice (Dated: 05/21/2025), Unauthorized Use of Cameras Warning Notice (Dated: 05/08/2025), and the Resident Lease Agreement (Dated:08/24/2024). The department observed that the resident was in violation of the general policies of the facility as outlined in section 10.9 of the resident’s lease agreement and for violating Title 22 regulations section 87224(a)(3) Eviction Procedures: Failure of the resident to comply with general policies of the facility.

Additionally, another general policy of the facility was violated by the resident, which are the House Rules section 7.7 of the resident’s lease agreement that states, “residents should be respectful to all staff and residents, and further states that failure to comply with this rule may result in the issuance of a 30-day notice”. The facility staff (S1) stated the resident was violent towards staff and residents.

The department has confirmed that the eviction notice was sent to Community Care Licensing Division within 5 days of issuance and based on the review of the notice, it is in compliance with Title 22 regulations.

Based on interviews, and records reviewed, there is insufficient evidence to support the allegation that Staff is wrongfully evicting resident. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur because of neglect, therefore the allegation is Unsubstantiated.

No citations were issued.

An exit interview was conducted with Robert Jakini, Executive Director, and a hard copy of this Complaint Investigation Report was provided.
