13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Debbie Correia conducted a facility visit to conclude a complaint investigation. LPA gained access to the facility, identified herself and met with Executive Director (ED) Julia Lopez to whom was explained the purpose of the visit.
The Department’s investigation consisted of staff and resident interviews, and a facility tour.
It was alleged that the facility did not provide adequate toiletries. An interview conducted with Resident 1 (R1) revealed being in need of more toilet paper and had notified facility staff. Howerver, the interview revealed R1 was never provided with extra toilet paper. R1 revealed being notified by facility staff that residents are provided with two rolls of toilet paper a week and that additional rolls are provided for a dollar a roll, or residents are responsible for buying their own. An interview conducted with the Executive Director (ED) and Staff 2 (S2) also revealed residents are provided with two rolls of toilet paper week and additional toilet paper are the resident's responsibility. The interview with the ED also revealed during COVID the facility would provide additional toiletries due to the shortages, and the facility had no issues providing extra toiletry supplies to residents that are experiencing temporary circumstantial issues, and residents that dont request extra services/supplies in excess. |
