On 07/20/26, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kimberly Viarella made an unannounced visit to this facility to open an investigation in to the above allegation. LPA identified herself upon arrival, stated the purpose of the visit and asked to meet with the Designated Facility Administrator / Executive Director (ED). LPA met with Michael Talani and a brief interview followed.

The ED stated that he recently receveid a letter from a resident that was copied to Community Care Licenisng (CCL) referring to cat that was allowed to roam, hunt, and defacate on the property. The ED contacted CCL to notify the Department that he was investigating the situation. The ED learned that the cat in question was the pet of a resdient. He brought his concerns up to the pet owner, obtained proof that the animal had its required shots, and instructed the individual to keep the pet indoors in order to prevent it from disturbing the area wildlife and to ensure that the grounds were kept clear of any of its animal droppings. The owner was told that if the cat required fresh air, they were to put it on a leash.
