13 | On 10/19/2022, Licensing Program Analyst Melissa Ruiz (LPA) arrived at the facility to conduct an unannounced complaint visit. The purpose of this visit, is to add additional information related to this complaint. Upon arrival, LPAs were greeted by staff and LPAs later met with Licensee, Asilia Wauls. It was alleged that clients are not allowed to have private conversations with other clients. To investigate this allegation, interviews were conducted with the Licensee, two (2) staff members and two (2) out of four (4) clients. Interviews with the licensee and facility staff revealed that the facility has no restrictions when clients want to communicate with one another, they just ensure clients are being safe, by monitoring them. However, an interview with C2, revealed that fairly recently, C1 periodically tries to come into C2’s private bedroom and have private conversations multiple times. C2 stated that sometimes, C2 does not want to talk. C2 stated they have brought this issue up to facility staff, as C2 does not want to be constantly bothered by C1. An interview with C1 revealed that anytime they want to speak with other clients, they can do so with no restrictions. Based on interviews conducted, this allegation is unsubstantiated at this time. No deficiencies issued at this time. Report signed and delivered. |
