13 | At approximately 9:00AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Chris Arnhold arrived at this facility unannounced to conduct an investigation into the above allegations. LPA's met with Executive Director Melissa Jones, toured the building, reviewed records and interviewed staff and residents. Based on interviews conducted, LPA did not find evidence to support the allegation that Staff allow residents to be left in soiled clothing for an extended period of time. Facility staff conduct checks at least every 2 hours on each resident in the facility. Residents needing more assistance receive it more frequently. LPA was informed most residents are able to communicate their needs and are not shy about letting staff know. Those residents that are not able to communicate their needs are checked on more frequently. Based on interviews conducted, LPA did not find evidence to support the allegation that Staff do not ensure residents receive adequate food portions and Staff do not ensure residents are provided with snacks in between meals each day. Residents receive the amount of food they request. If they want more food when they are finished, they ask staff and more food is delivered. There are snacks provided in the activity room along with several fruit bowls in the common areas. In the afternoons a hydration cart travels through the facility with cookies, fruit and drinks.
