13 | On 7/16/26, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kevin Mknelly spoke with Exec. Dir. (ED), Michael Clymo, to deliver complaint findings for the above allegation.
LPA reviewed resident records, facility records, food inspection and conducted interviews.
LPA finds that the allegations cited above are substantiated.
It was reported that on 6/7/26, R1 received pureed fruit, prepared by S1, that when served by R1's private caregiver, was found to contain small pieces of plastic.
LPA reviewed photos of the food and physically examined the food. Plastic of variable sizes were found to be present in the food.
In interview with S1 on 7/16/26, S1 described what they could recall as the preparation of R1's pureed fruit on 6/7/26. S1 recalled being in a hurry and that the supply of normally used Thick-it was not available. As a Thick-it substitute, S1 used a piece of bread. The bread loaves have small white tab closures similar to the color and thickness of the plastic found in the food served to R1. S1 did not specifically recall though stated that the loaf of bread used may or may not have been in close proximity to the food prepared.
