Four (4) residents were interviewed and all reported to have knowledge of water leaking in the dining room during 2023's rainy season. LPA toured the bedroom shared by Resident 1 (R1) and Resident 2 (R2) and observed what appeared to be a plastic grocery bag taped to the ceiling directly above R1 and R2's bed. R1 and R2 were interviewed and reported water has been leaking through the fire sprinkler for the past three (3) years anytime it rains heavily. R1 and R2 reported Staff 1 (S1) placed the plastic grocery plastic bag over the fire sprinkler to contain the leaking water. S1 was interviewed and confirmed taping the bag to the bedroom ceiling of the room shared by R1 and R2 in order to temporarily contain the leaking water to avoid it from landing on R1 and R2's bed. Administrator Dupre reported they were unaware facility staff taped the plastic grocery bag to R1 and R2's bedroom ceiling as a temporary solution. Administrator Dupre stated they will have a contractor repair the ceiling in R1 and R2's bedroom by 12/9/2024. Based on LPA’s observations, interviews conducted, and records reviewed, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be substantiated. California Code of Regulations (Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 9), are being cited on the attached LIC 9099 D. An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of this report was provided to Administrator Dupre along with the Confidential Names list (LIC 811) and Appeal Rights.
