Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Nakagawa arrived unannounced and met with Juliet McGranahan, Administrator to open this complaint investigation and deliver findings. During the course of this investigation the facility was toured, records and photos were reviewed and interviews conducted.

During the course of the investigation, photographs were reviewed and interviews were conducted showing that used PPE was not properly doffed by staff; nor was it properly discarded, stored or removed during an active case of Covid-19, therefore this allegation is substantiated. A finding that the complaint is substantiated means that the allegation is valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met.

Failure to correct the deficiencies and/or repeat deficiencies within a 12 month period may result in civil penalties. Appeal rights given.
