32 | Resident #1 (R1) reported to LPA Brown that staffs at the facility checked R1's room right away and the same day that R1 reported seeing cockroaches in R1's room. R1 added that R1's room was serviced by the facility's contracted exterminator the same day that R1 reported seeing cockroaches in R1's room. Interviews with five (5) of five (5) staffs indicated that they all ensure that the facility's kept free of cockroaches and if residents reported that they've seen cockroaches in their room, they are checking it immediately and if needed, they will contact their contracted exterminator to assess and treat the reported room with cockroaches. During the visit on 01/31/2024, ED Wolfe provided LPA Brown copies of the facility's contracted exterminator invoice from 07/2023 to 01/2024 and LPA Brown observed monthly services provided by the facility's exterminator from 07/2023 to 01/2024.
The second allegation indicates Staff do not ensure facility floors at the 2nd floor are in good repair. Interviews with three (3) of five (5) residents indicated that staffs at the facility ensure that the facility floors at the 2nd floor are in good repair. Three (3) residents reported to LPA Brown that they did not observe the facility floors at the 2nd floor in disrepair. Five (5) of five (5) staffs interviews indicated that they all ensure that the facility floors at the 2nd floor are in good repair. Staffs interviews revealed that no incident happened at the facility that the facility floors at the 2nd floor are in disrepair and no incident happened at the facility that a staff did not ensure the facility floor at the 2nd floor are in good repair. During the visit on 01/31/2024, LPA Brown observed that the floor at the 2nd level of the facility are in good repair.
Based on the evidence, the allegations that Staff do not ensure facility is kept free of cockroaches for residents in care (Allegation #1) and Staff do not ensure facility floors at the 2nd floor are in good repair (Allegation #2) are UNSUBSTANTIATED. A finding that the complaint is UNSUBSTANTIATED means although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are unsubstantiated at this time.
An exit interview was conducted where this report, LIC9099, was discussed and provided to Executive Director Sarah Wolfe. |
