The LPA was greeted by Business Office Manager, Jenesa McDonald, and met with Administrator, Kurt Niebres. Niebres was informed of the purpose of the visit.
Pertaining to the allegation, "Facility has bed bugs," it was alleged facility staff have done nothing to mitigate the infestation of bed bugs, causing the insects to spread to multiple bedrooms.

Interviews were conducted and it was reported at least two (2) residents have been affected by the infestation. Administrator Niebres was interviewed and confirmed bedbugs were observed in several bedrooms and a pest control company was contacted and serviced the areas. No service requests were found showing whether any resident bedrooms were treated in the last five (5) months. Therefore, based on observation and interviews, this allegation is deemed SUBSTANTIATED.
