13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Robbie Johnson contacted the facility to deliver findings regarding the above allegation via telephone due to COVID-19. LPA identified herself and discussed the purpose of the call and the elements of the above allegation with Executive Director Mary Mcclure.
During the course of the investigation interviews were conducted with four (4) staff members and four (4) residents. It is alleged that the facility has rats. Interviews with the maintenance director revealed that an inspection of the facility was completed on two occassions and no evidence of rats or any other type of vermin was observed. Interviews with several residents revealed that no rats have been observed in the facility. Based on interviews with several staff and residents, LPA could not corroborate that rats are in the building. The allegation is unsubstantiated. A finding that the complaint is unsubstantiated means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged abuse occurred. A copy of this report was reviewed with and provided to the Executive director via email. |
