13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Stephanie Torres, made an unannounced visit to the facility to initiate the investigation into the above allegations. The LPA met with Bituin Dizon-Garcia, Administrator, and informed her of the purpose of her visit.
On this visit the LPA conducted interviews, reviewed records, and took copies of pertinent documentation. The Administrator reported Resident One (R1) does not reside in the Assisted Living or Memory Care units of the licensed facility. The Administrator reported R1 does reside in the Independent Living Unit (IU) of Sun City Gardens, which is owned by the same corporation, though is not licensed by the Department. The LPA reviewed the resident roster and did not observe R1's name listed on the report. The LPA also spoke with staff of the IU, who reported R1 is a resident of their building. Additional investigation could not be conducted, due to the Department having no jurisdiction over the IU. Therefore, due to R1 not residing in the licensed facility these allegations are deemed UNFOUNDED. Cross reports will be made to notify the appropriate parties of the concerns reported. This report was reviewed with the Administrator and a copy was provided. |
