complaint·November 13, 2023

LPA asked if S1 had been assigned to bathe R1 prior to this incident and NC stated yes S1 was assigned to bathe and conduct diaper changes for R1 with no prior incidents. Based on LPA’s interviews and record review there were no previous incidents regarding S1 and other residents. S1 was sent home on 08/28/2023 due to pending test results for a drug test. S1 does not have a valid phone number on file and the facility has not been able to reach S1. LPA contacted S1’s previous employer at a different facility requesting S1’s contact information. S1’s contact information from the previous employer was not in service and S1 is currently homeless. LPA asked if S1 was currently working at the facility and Executive Director Nevarez stated S1 had quit and is no longer working at the facility. Due to the lack of contact information for S1, LPA was not able to conduct an interview with S1. Staff and resident interviews provided no information that could corroborate or refute the validity of the allegation. Therefore based on interviews and record review this allegation is deemed UNSUBSTANTIATED at this time. A finding that the complaint is unsubstantiated means 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. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report was reviewed with and provided to Executive Director Maria Nevarez.
