13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kevin Mknelly arrived at the facility unannounced on 2/23/22 to deliver the investigation findings for the allegations above. Prior to visit, LPA completed required COVID-19 testing protocols, and a daily self-screening questionnaire for symptoms of COVID-19 infection to affirm no COVID-19 related symptoms. LPA ensured they applied hand sanitizer before entering the facility and the following Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) was worn: n-95 Mask. LPA was not by facility staff but volunteered their screening status.
The department reviewed records and conducted interviews. Statements and records revealed that R1 was Covid-19 Booster eligible when their conservator requested the booster be administered in September 2021.

As a result of this investigation, LPA finds allegation to be (S) Substantiated - A finding that the complaint is Substantiated means that the allegation is valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met. The following deficiencies were cited on 9099-D, per Title 22 Regulations, Division 6. (A)This poses an immediate Health and Safety risk to clients/residents in care.
