During initial 10-day inspection on January 22, 2026, LPA conducted a tour of the facility and observed all utilities were operational.

Regarding allegation, Insufficient staffing to meet residents' needs, the following was revealed: It is alleged there is insufficient staffing to meet residents’ needs due to S2 being left alone all day and all night and a resident being feed meals without their dentures. During their interview, three of five residents denied the allegation and stated staff is always available to assist them. Two of three residents were unable to confirm or deny allegation. During their interview, S1 denied the allegation and stated there have not been any staff issues at the facility. During their interview, S2 stated there are always at least two staff present during shifts, except overnight, when there is only one staff on shift. S2 denied being left alone all day and stated there is sufficient staff to meet the needs of the residents. (Cont. LIC9099-C) During their interview, S3 denied any staffing issues and stated there is sufficient staff to meet the needs of the residents. Per S3, R3 wears dentures and on one particular morning, R3 did not have their dentures on at breakfast and staff immediately retrieved R3’s dentures from the solution they are kept in overnight. S3 stated this was an isolated event and staff had simply forgotten to put R3’s dentures in following their morning shower and was not due to lack of staffing. An interview was conducted with R3 on two separate occasions, however, R3 was unable to confirm or deny allegation. Based on observations made during complaint investigation and due to allegations being uncorroborated during interviews conducted, the Department is unable to determine if Facility is in financial distress or if there is Insufficient staffing to meet residents' needs. Although the above allegations may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore at this time the above allegations are unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted and copy of this report was provided at the end of the inspection.
