At approximately 10:45AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Chris Arnhold arrived at this facility unannounced, to conduct an investigation into the above allegations. LPA was met by Caregiver Corina Anguiano. LPA toured the building, interviewed staff and reviewed records. LPA measured water temperature on 10/16/2024 and again during today's visit. The water temperature measured within regulation between 105 and 120 degrees on both visits. Based on a review of records, LPA did not find documentation of an order for resident to be walked. Physicial excersise is important, however residents have the right to decline participation. Based on records reviewed and interviews conducted, a refund was issued by the Licensee within the 15 day requirement. The refund was not received by the reciepient and another check was issued. Based on interviews conducted and observation, medications are in bubble packs and is dispensed at the time medication is given. LPA was informed that before bubble packs, medication was prepared 24 hours in advance, but that procedure has not been used since.
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.
