On 05/15/2023 at 8:20 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) J. Sampair arrived unannounced to conduct an initial 10-day investigation regarding the above allegation. LPA explained the purpose of the visit to staff. Administrator Sara Abraham arrived at 10:45 AM. LPA confirmed inappropriate lock on front upon entering facility. During a tour of the facility, 3 other sliding glass exit doors were "locked" in place with poles blocking movement of the glass door, thereby blocking exit. When asked, Caregiver Claudia de la Cruz confirmed what had been stated by Complainant that it was used to block residents' exit. Based on the data collected by observation and interview, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met; therefore, the above allegation has been found to be SUBSTANTIATED.

Failure to submit proof of correction (POC) by plan of correction due date and/or any repeat deficiencies within a 12-month period may result in civil penalties. Exit interview conducted.
