32 | It is also alleged that the other three (3) bathrooms and showers are in disrepair, one (1) is out of order, one (1) has no water connected, and one (1) has a broken shower head. This allegation was previously investigated and substantiated on 04/14/2026 (Complaint Control #28-AS-20260407083604). This investigation revealed that one (1) tub in bathroom 6 North was inoperable as the knobs were damaged. The shower in bathroom 3 on North side near to the kitchen is inoperable as the flooring needs to be replaced. This bathroom is currently not being used due to the safety risk. LPA interviewed the Administrator, S1 and S2 who confirmed that the shower in bathroom 3 North and bathtub in bathroom 6 North are not used for washing by clients currently as they are in disrepair. The tub in Bathroom 4 South and the shower in bathroom 1 South are operable. During today’s visit, LPA reviewed and confirmed the bathroom numbers and location with the Admin and S1. LPA also toured the facility with Witness #1 (W1) and LPA observed and confirmed with W1 that repairs are still needed on the following bathrooms and showers: bathtub in bathroom 6 North and shower in bathroom 3 North still need repairs. The Proof Of Corrections (POCs) for these repairs are still pending and are due by 05/14/2026. LPA interviewed the Administrator and two (2) staff that corroborated with the allegation stating that there are only (1) bathtub and one (1) shower available and working for 25 residents while the other one (1) bathtub and one (1) shower are inoperable and under construction. LPA interviewed seven (7) clients that corroborated with the allegation stating that there are only one (1) bathtub and one (1) shower available and working while the other one (1) bathtub and one (1) shower are inoperable and under construction. LPA toured the four (4) bathrooms and observed that there are currently one (1) bathtub and one (1) shower available and working for 25 clients while the other one (1) bathtub and one (1) shower are inoperable and still in disrepair. Per administrator, as of today’s date, there has been no progress made on repairs of these two (2) bathrooms. There is enough sufficient evidence to substantiate.
Based on LPA interviews which were conducted and record review, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation(s) is found to be SUBSTANTIATED.
An exit interview was held and the copy of the report and appeal rights were provided to the Administrator Carolee Hazzard.
