13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kimberly Lyman conducted an unannounced complaint visit to deliver findings on the above allegations. LPA was greeted and granted entry into the facility by Caregiver Jakelin Mijares and explained the reason for the visit. Administrator Mareties Pontoy arrived during the visit.
During the course of the investigation, LPA toured the facility and interviewed staff and witnesses. Regarding the allegations that staff speaks inappropriately towards a resident while in care and staff inappropriately pushed a resident while in care, the investigation revealed the following: Per witnesses interviewed, there is a recording of inappropriate verbiage by Staff 1 (S1) directed towards Resident 1 (R1). Witness is unwilling to provide a copy of the recording to the department and S1 declined to speak with LPA. S1 is currently not associated to any other facilities licensed by Community Care Licensing. LPA was unable to interview R1 due to cognitive decline. Two out of two residents and two out of two staff interviewed at the facility deny any knowledge of verbal or physical abuse by S1 or any caregiver. Therefore, the allegation is deemed unsubstantiated, CONTINUED ON LIC 9099C DATED 02/17/2023 |
