All staff stated that they have never physically seen drugs of any kind. During interviews with residents six (6) out of nine (9) residents stated that they have never witnessed illegal drugs being used.

In regard to the allegation “Staff are not preventing residents from smoking cigarettes inside the facility”, it is alleged that some residents are smoking inside of their bedrooms. During interviews with Administrator and staff eight (8) out of eight (8) stated that yes there has been times that they have caught residents smoking in rooms, but they are written up for this. Administrator stated that they are in the process of eviction for one resident because of this matter. Staff state they remind residents that there is a designated smoking area in the back. During interviews with residents four (4) out of nine (9) residents stated that residents do smoke inside there rooms even though there not supposed to and that it is written in the admission agreement. R4 and R5 both stated they had been written up for this and have never done it again.

Based on interviews conducted and records reviewed, there is insufficient evidence to support the allegations. Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED.
