Interviews with staff reported cleaning the dining room after meals and wiping commonly touched surfaces with disinfectants at least once a day.
LPA observations during facility visits did not raise concerns regarding staff providing a comfortable or clean environment for residents.
The Department has investigated the allegations that staff do not ensure residents are provided a comfortable environment. Based upon the information obtained during this investigation, it is determined that the preponderance of evidence was not met to support or corroborate these allegations and therefore deemed unsubstantiated.
An exit interview was conducted with Maresulyn Ocenar, to whom a copy of this report and the Licensee’s Rights (LIC9058 01/16) were provided.
