It was alleged that staff were sleeping in a backyard shed attached to the garage. During the initial visit on 08/15/2025, LPA observed the small shed, referred to as the “break room” by staff, at 04:10PM. During the visit, the shed contained suitcases, clothes, storage bins/boxes, an in-wall air conditioner, a small wardrobe, and a small table. Photographic evidence from a credible witness showed that the shed was equipped with a cot that had a pillow and blanket, and a folded cot stored to the side. LPA did not observe the cots during the visit, however, staff confirmed that the cots used to be in the shed. Staff stated that the cots were used for breaks and as a table for folding clothes. Staff also stated that the clothes and suitcases in the room were for donation and did not belong to them. All four (4) staff interviewed denied sleeping in the shed. Licensee stated that the facility only has wake staff at night, there are no live-in staff or a staff room on site. Licensee stated there is one (1) caregiver for the night shift and that caregiver remains awake and inside the main building where the residents are, not in the backyard shed. During the subsequent visit on 09/05/2025, LPA observed construction workers removing the backyard shed. Licensee stated they are removing the shed to prevent the possibility of staff using it as their break room or for sleeping. Based on interviews and observation, the information obtained during the investigation does not have sufficient evidence to corroborate the allegation. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not sufficient evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the above allegation “Staff sleeping in commons areas” is deemed UNSUBSTANTIATED at this time.

No deficiencies cited at this time. Exit interview conducted. A copy of the report was provided.
