According to allegation, the staff are allowing a child to care for residents in care. According to staff interviews, the staff do not allow a child to care for the residents in care. Staff have stated that there are volunteers of different age groups that provide activities such as puzzles, art projects, entertainment and visits with the residents.  

Interview with residents' revealed that there is a younger person that visits with the residents and helps them with puzzles, they listen to music and watch tv.  There are other visitors that provide entertainment such as singing and dancing during the holiday season.  The residents stated that there has not been any child rendering care or assisting the caregivers with care giving needs for the residents. Two of the residents need adult caregivers due to the inability of the resident to assist with turning from side to side.

Interviews with outside sources also confirmed that there is younger person that lives with the caregiver at the facility but the younger person was not seen rendering care to any of the residents.  The outside sources confirmed that the younger person has been seen reading books, watching tv, and playing games/puzzles with the residents.  

Based on LPA's interviews, observations and record reviews there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove alleged violation occurred, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted with Guarav “Gary” Rathi, Co-Administrator. to whom a copy of this report, and the Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC 9058 03/22) were provided.
