32 | Two family members reported that they also have no concern with the facility and kitchen utensils not properly maintained and expressed that the facility is very clean, feels very lucky and comfortable that their loved one is house at the facility and feels that the residents is very well taken care of. Two representatives from outside agencies stated that they had not observed any concerns with the facility not being maintained. Direct observations were made during two site visits. On 06/18/ 2025, LPA Lee, accompanied by Ombudsman Byron Toliver observed that the facility was clean, free of odors, and in good repair. No signs of mold were found in the residents’ showers, under the kitchen sink, or on the windowsills. No cracks were observed on the floors throughout the facility, and the bathroom walls showed no signs of peeling. The dishwashing sponge was also observed to be clean. Based on interviews and statements conducted during the investigation process as well as direct observations, LPA Lee was unable to corroborate the allegations that staff did not ensure the facility was properly maintained and that staff did not ensure kitchen utensils were properly maintained.
It was alleged that staff did not ensure residents were provided with clean mattresses. The investigation included interviews with facility staff, residents, responsible parties, and outside agencies, along with direct observations during two separate site visits. Four staff members were interviewed. All four denied residents are not provided with clean mattresses. Two residents were interviewed. One of the two residents stated they have no concern that they are not provided with a clean mattress. Two family members reported that they had not witnessed residents with unclean mattresses and had no concern. Two representatives from outside agencies stated that they had not observed any residents with unclean mattresses and they expressed no concern. Direct observations were made during two site visits. On 06/18/ 2025, LPA Lee, accompanied by Ombudsman Byron Toliver inspected mattresses in six resident rooms and did not observe the mattress to be dirty and having any stains as well as today’s visit, 08/22/2025. Based on interviews and statements conducted during the investigation process as well as direct observations, LPA Lee was unable to corroborate the allegation that staff did not ensure residents were provided with clean mattresses.
The investigation revealed the preponderance of evidence standards have not been met; therefore, the above allegations are found to be UNSUBSTANTIATED. A finding that the complaint allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED means that although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation(s)occurred.
Per California Code of Regulations (CCRs) - Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 6, no deficiencies were cited.
A copy of this report was provided to care staff Edgar at the end of the visit.
