Two (2) out of five(5) staff interviewed, R1 was not provided comfortable living accommodations when R1 experienced a water leak in their room on 05/20/25 and reported the leak to S3. Staff placed a ladder and pail to capture the water from the leaking pipe. On the evening of 5/27/25 the water pipe burst and flooded R1’s room. According to two (2) out of five (5) staff interviews, on 05/27/25, R1 was not allowed to retrieve their electronics (two laptops, I-pad) and prized literature(old books) due to ankle high water in R1s room #234.
