complaint·May 19, 2025

***Report continues from LIC9099*** LPA interviewed S1 who stated that there has been an issue with R1 smoking in his room that he and the corporate management of the facility have been dealing with the issue for several months. S1 also stated that R1 is currently on a smoking cessation program. R1 has nicotine gum and is on a nicotine patch. The facility has also issued R1 a later dated 5/14/25 that references that section of the admission agreement that R1 is in violation of and that if there is another incident of him smoking in his room he will be evicted. LPA reviewed the letter during the visit. LPA interviewed R1 in his room at the facility. LPA did not observe any cigarettes, ash trays or any other items that would indicate R1 was smoking in his room. R1 stated that he knows he must follow the rules or face eviction. R1 also stated that he like living at the facility and does not want to get “kicked out.” This agency has investigated the complaint alleging staff are allowing residents to smoke in the facility. We have found that the complaint was unsubstantiated. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED . Exit interview conducted, a copy of this report provided.
