Regarding the allegation that Staff are not providing a comfortable temperature for residents, the following has been concluded: Based on the client interviews conducted during the visit, it was determined that the facility's air conditioning system was operational, although not continually so throughout the day. Some clients reported some mild discomfort on such occasions however only one client out of six clients interviewed mentioned a temperature above 85F being reached. All sixteen temperature measurements conducted by LPA during the tour of the physical plant were confirmed to be within acceptable range in reference to section 80088 on Furniture, Fixtures, Equipment, and Supplies of the California Code of Regulations. The temperatures measured ranged from 78F to 82F depending on the location in the building. The tour was conducted during the afternoon as the temperatures reached their maximum for the day of the visit. Staff interviewed confirmed that the access key to the five thermostat units was continuously accessible and that they regularly turned the climate control on upon client request.
Based on observation and interviews conducted, the allegation is found to be Unsubstantiated, meaning that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur.
An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report was provided to a facility representative. |
