Based on interviews conducted and records reviewed, there is not sufficient evidence to suggest the licensee and/or facility staff inflicted the injuries upon the alleged victim. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is Unsubstantiated.

Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with provider Sandra Suarez. A copy of this report, along with Appeal Rights (LIC9058), were provided. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. LPA observed that the notice of site visit was posted during the inspection. Failure to comply with posting requirements shall result in an immediate civil penalty of $100.
