R1 expressed that R2 still enters the room to take their belongings to sell for monetary gain. Interview with R2 said that they have no need to take things from R1 as they do not use any of the items R1 indicates are stolen. R2 said that they have no need to take R1s cigarettes as they do not smoke. Interview with staff said that they have had issues with a resident who contacts the police as they say that another resident steals their belongings, but there is no evidence of the occurrence. Staff mentioned that they have already removed the residents into separate rooms. A review of records revealed that resident had made a police report, but the outcome was that the resident’s belongings were in their possession and that the allegations made were not credible. On June 19, 2024, LPA requested and was granted approval by R1 to go over their belongings that were identified as missing. During the search, LPA observed that within their drawers they did have cigarette lighters, many empty boxes of cigarette’s, a watch, scissors, day/night cream’s, 6 body sprays and old spice, among other items. Based on the Department’s investigation of the above-mentioned allegation and the evidence obtained during staff and outside source interviews, records reviewed, and LPA observations, there is insufficient evidence to meet the preponderance of evidence standard. Therefore, the above allegation is deemed to be unsubstantiated. The report was discussed, and an exit interview was conducted with Assistant Administrator Sarita Mendoza. A copy of this report along with Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC9058 3/22) were provided to Assistant Administrator Mendoza at the conclusion of the visit.
