| Client's belongings are being stolen. - UNSUBSTANTIATED
It was reported that Client 1 (C1) was missing tobacco.
LPA reviewed the facility’s cigarette schedule which states that smoking times are every 2 hours starting at 6:00 AM through 6:00 PM and at bedtime.
C1 stated they are trying to quit smoking and have cut down. C1 thought someone had thrown it away. C1 stated the facility fixed that and now have C1 roll them in the office and now less is being used.
Staff stated that C1 had complained that they were missing tobacco. C1 now comes into the office and rolls their cigarettes for the day in front of staff.
Administrator stated that C1 did say that their tobacco had been less than what they expected. Staff hands C1 their tobacco (C1 rolls their own cigarettes) and C1 brings it back when they are done. The facility does discourage sharing because it causes issues but staff can’t stop the clients from sharing.
This allegation is unsubstantiated.
Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred, and the findings are UNSUBSTANTIATED.
No deficiencies cited. Exit interview conducted and a copy of the report was provided to administrator Jessie Boothe. |
