Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

Regarding Allegation #1 : Staff prevent residents from having visitors during reasonable hours. The alleged staff prevent residents from having visitors during reasonable hours. On 08/02/2023 LPA Calderon interviewed A1 for complaint. A1 relays that the facility has an admission agreement which R1 signed. A1 relays that all visitors, guests, and family are welcome to visit. A1 relays that no visitor, guest, or family can stay over night and the facility does not discriminate against a resident with health issues. On 08/03/2023 LPA Calderon attempted to interview R1 for complaint, R1 left the facility for the day. On 08/02/2023 LPA Calderon interviewed R2-R8 for complaint. R2-R8 relays that no visitor, guest, or family can stay overnight, and all visitors, guest and family are welcome and R2-R8 have never had any issues. On 08/02/2023 LPA Calderon reviewed the residency agreement signed by R1 family on 05/28/2023. The agreement does not suggest a time a guest, visitor or family can arrive at the facility or leave the facility. Overnight guests are generally not permitted in a resident’s room. Based on evidence gathered from investigation there is insufficient evidence to prove that “staff prevent residents from having visitors during reasonable hours”, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted and copy of the Complaint Report was provided to the Operations Director Dimple Kamdar (A1).
