On 8/11/22 at 9:31 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Malia Thao arrived unannoucned to conduct a complaint investigation. LPA was greeted by staff and granted entry. LPA met with Licensee (LIC) Anthony Barbato and explained reason for inspection.

LPA reviewed records and conducted interviews. R1 no longer resides in the facility and was not interviewed. LIC admitted having physical contact with R1, such as hugs and held R1's hands, but denies it was in a sexual or initimate nature. LIC stated the physical contact was made after R1 requested it and rarey occurred. LIC stated the physical contact was not different from the way LIC physically interacted with any other resident. Therefore, the above allegation is unsubstantiated. The allegation may have happened or is valid, but there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred.

Exit interview conducted. A copy of this report was given to Licensee Anthony Barbato, whose signature confirms receipt of this report.

On 8/11/22 at 9:31 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Malia Thao arrived unannounced to conduct a complaint investigation. LPA was greeted by staff and granted entry. LPA met with Licensee (LIC) Anthony Barbato and explained reason for inspection.

LPA reviewed records and conducted interviews. R1 no longer resides in the facility and was not interviewed. LPA found that there were times R1 refused medication and there was no evidence that the facility made medication errors or refused medication administration to R1. We have found that the above allegation was unfounded, meaning that the allegation was false, could not have happened and/or is without a reasonable basis. We have therefore dismissed the complaint.

Exit interview conducted. A copy of this report was given to Licensee Anthony Barbato, whose signature confirms receipt of this report.
