13 | On July 18, 2022, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Komal Charitra conducted an unannounced complaint visit to deliver the findings for the above allegation. LPA met with Caregiver, Mely Garland and explained the purpose of the visit.
Regarding the allegation that staff are not wearing masks, according to the complainant, there was a staff member (S1) who was not wearing a mask. In addition, according to the complainant, S1 indicated that he/she was returning back from lunch and will be putting a mask back on. Based on the interviews conducted, S1 removed his/her mask because he/she was on break. In addition, interviewed staff also indicated that there was no residents or staff in close proximity to S1. During the investigation, LPA visited the facility on July 12, 2022 and July 18, 2022 and observed all staff members present at the facility with a face mask.
Therefore, based on observations, the allegation that staff are not wearing masks, is UNSUBSTANTIATED, meaning that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is no preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred.
Report is reviewed with Caregiver, Mely Garland and a copy is provided with appeals rights. |
