32 | Allegation: Facility failed to provide appropriate transportation
Investigation Finding: Unsubstantiated
During investigation, LPA C. Lin observed there are 3 vehicles including 2 buses. Only 1 bus has a lift which would constantly break down and get fixed by staff. Administrator (ADM) stated that scheduled transportations are made available for residents to use for their medical and dental appointments. ADM stated that other transportation options outside normal business hours may be arranged by the resident with staff (Activities Director) for an additional charge or with an outside agency if necessary. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did occur, therefore the allegation that facility failed to provide appropriate transportation is unsubstantiated.
Allegation: Facility failed to provide nutrition food service to meet resident’s needs
During investigation, staff (ADM) stated all meals daily prepared by the facility for breakfast, lunch and dinner follow the nutritional guidelines created from a nutrition company. ADM stated all residents were provided the nutritional guidelines. On 12/21/22 and 02/24/23, LPA observed a bulletin board of special diets located in the kitchen area that staff follow to prepare residents’ special diets as prescribed by their primary care physicians. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did occur, therefore the allegation that facility failed to provide nutrition food service to meet residents’ needs is unsubstantiated.
Allegation: Facility failed to provide a comfortable temperature
Investigation Finding: Unsubstantiated

Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did occur, therefore the allegation that facility failed to provide comfortable temperature is unsubstantiated.
