LPA was greeted at the door by Caregiver, Luzviminda Torress . LPA was granted access into the facility. During the dates of November 7, 2023, November 17, 2023 and today, November 21, 2023, LPA observed that the Administrator and facility manager was not present and the only time that they made themselves available in-person was on November 17, 2023 (See LIC 9102-Technical Violation). During the course of an investigation that was initiated on November 7, 2023, LPA observed/reviewed photos of a FaceTime still photo that was taken when the resident was getting changed which is a Personal Rights violation (See LIC 809D) . LPA conducted an interview with the alleged Caregiver (See LIC 812-Interview-Caregiver #2 dated for November 17, 2023).
