This is a joint visit with Long Term Care Ombudsman (LTCO), Ron Carerra. LPA and LTCO met with Executive Director, Kimberly Hagen, and explained the purpose of the visit.
Prior to initiating the visit, LPA interviewed reporting party (RP) regarding the allegations cited aove. RP stated the allegation is "nothing having to do with nothing". LPA then was no longer able to obtain further information from RP as RP did not want to talk about it during the phone call.

Executive Director informed LPA that all packages are delivered to the front desk and will be given to residents. Executive Director informed LPA packages are never opened by staff. When asked how would the facility know if medications are inside the packages, Executive Director responded "I guess we won't know unless we see it in the room since we don't open their packages."
