13 | At approximately 8:30AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Chris Arnhold arrived at this facility unannounced to conduct an investigation into the above allegations. LPA met with House Supervisor Barbara Driver, interviewed staff and reviewed records. Based on interviews conducted and records reviewed, the facility menu's are planned each week by clients. Breakfast and lunch are individually prepared by each client depending on desires. Each week a client is assigned the task of preparing dinner, with staff assistance. If a client does not want the scheduled meal, they are free to prepare their own meals. LPA observed the kitchen to be open and food readily available. Clients are able to purchase their own food items and prepare in the facility kitchen if they so desire. Clients keep their cigarettes in their possession. Due to safety issues, lighters are not allowed to be kept by clients, but staff are readily available to light cigarettes. Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are Unsubstantiated. |
