32 | Staff also reported that the Administrator provides thorough in house training. Interviews with three (3) residents indicated they either assume staff prevent cross contamination, have not experienced any issues, or have not observed anything raising concern regarding cross contamination practices.
Regarding Allegation #3: Interviews with two (2) staff members revealed that food is stored, prepared, and served in a safe manner. LPA also interviewed three (3) residents, all of whom stated that, to their knowledge, food is stored, prepared, and served in a safe and healthful manner.
Regarding Allegation #4: The Administrator reported that all staff receive in-house training on food handling procedures. Two (2) staff informed LPA that they were not required to obtain a food handler’s certificate. Interviews with three (3) residents indicated that two (2) have observed staff being trained in food handling, while one resident stated they were not aware of food handling practices.
Regarding Allegation #5: During the facility tour, LPA observed that the medication room door has a digital lock, and cabinets inside the medication room are also secured. Interviews with three (3) staff members confirmed that the medication room remains locked and inaccessible to residents at all times. Two (2) residents also stated that the medication room is consistently kept locked and they have never seen it open.
Based on LPA’s observations, staff and resident interviews, and relevant documentation, the allegations are determined to be Unsubstantiated. An Unsubstantiated finding means that although the allegations may be valid or could have occurred, there is insufficient evidence to support that the alleged violations did or did not happen.
An exit interview was conducted with Administrator Steve Rajadas, and a copy of this report was provided at the conclusion of the visit.
