Allegation #4 Staff do not meet the minimum qualifications required – Based on interview and information received. It indicated that all the staff have undergone 40 hours of computer training. If the staff is interested in being a Medtech then the staff must do another 20 hours of training specifically for Medtech and get a certificate plus 3-5 days of hands-on training and 2 additional days of paperwork training. LPA was unable to corroborate the allegation. Allegation #5 Staff are not properly trained – Based on record review the facility provided all the Medtech certificate that they all have completed the required training to administer medication. Allegation #6 Staff are not following proper food handling techniques – Based on interview and LPA observation, LPA was unable to corroborate the allegation. Interview with the facility cook revealed that the facility never recycled uneaten food or leftovers to be eaten the next day. LPA observed the facility recycling bin designated for food waste outside of the facility specifically for trash/garbage. LPA took pictures of the recycling bin. Allegation #7 Staff do not provide adequate care and supervision – Based on interviews and record review, it was revealed that the facility has sufficient staff to supervise and care for the resident in care.

Information received during investigation did not corroborate with the allegation. During the investigation, LPA did not find evidence to corroborate the allegations. Based on the evidence, the allegations mentioned above are UNSUBSTANTIATED. A finding that the complaint is UNSUBSTANTIATED means although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated at this time. An exit interview was conducted where this report, LIC9099 and LIC9099C were discussed and provided to Resident Care Director Jonnathan Rios.
