CONTINUED...Photographs and videos of staff with alcoholic beverage bottles placed in front of the staff were provided to Community Care Licensing and observed by LPA Quiroz; Four of four interviewees consisting of staff indicated R1 would recycle and collect empty alcoholic beverages, place them in-front of them and take videos or photographs. Four of four staff denied drinking alcoholic beverages and or using illicit/illegal drugs while on duty. During facility inspection visits conducted on 11/15/2023 and 6/17/2024, LPA Quiroz did not observe alcoholic beverages and or illicit/illegal drugs on facility premises and did not observe staff to be under the influence of drugs and or/alcohol. Therefore, based on the preponderance of evidence gathered through interviews, documentation review and observations conducted by LPA Quiroz, the allegations that the "“Staff were inebriated while on duty,” is deemed UNSUBSTANTIATED, meaning that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred. This agency has investigated this complaint. No deficiencies cited during today's visit.
