Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kimberly Lyman made an unannounced complaint visit to deliver findings on the above allegation. LPA was greeted and granted entry by Administrator Elena Weiner and explained the reason for the visit. During the course of the investigation, LPA toured the facility, interviewed staff and witness as well as reviewed and obtained pertinent information such as facility billing invoice.
