Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jennifer Semin arrived to the facility unannounced to initiate a complaint investigation and deliver the findings for the allegations listed above. LPA met with Administrator Keeley Miller.

The investigation consisted of facility record review and interviews with relevant parties.
Regarding the first allegation, Facility has bedbugs. The facility has a monthly contract for extermination services thru Pro-Active (a pest control company) and invoices obtained by LPA indicate that the facility was actively being sprayed for bedbugs on 8/16/2021 and 8/25/2021. Interviews with residents in the affected rooms stated they did not have bedbugs after the pest control service and staff cleaning and disinfecting. In addition to spraying, facility is discarding all linens in problem rooms as well as cleaning and treating furniture and mattresses that may be affected.
Regarding the second allegation, Resident's room smells like urine. LPA toured the facility, going into multiple resident rooms and did not smell any urine. Staff stated some residents do urine on the carpet, but it is cleaned and disinfected immediately. Residents interviewed stated they do not smell urine in the facility.

Regarding the third allegation, Staff are locking resident in room. LPA observed the all resident doors to have a standard privacy bedroom/bathroom doorknob that requires a key locking function on the outside with a thumb turn unlocking on the inside. Staff stated they do not lock residents in their rooms. Residents interviews stated staff do not lock them in their room. Investigation did not reveal further information to either refute or corroborate the allegation.
Based upon interviews and information gathered, and although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED at this time.
An exit interview was conducted where this report was discussed and provided to administrator.
