32 | Allegation #2, Staff are forcing the clients to clean the facility grounds.
During staff interviews, 4 out of the 4 Staff stated that facility has a program they started (2) weeks ago. Program is on a voluntary basis which consists with working with clients to get back to daily life skills. The tasks they can help with in the dining area which consists of: wiping down tables in dining room, clean coffee area, mop dining room, sweep dining room, empty trash, and tidy activity room. Clients are allowed to pick what job they would like to do. After the (2) week program facility gives menus to clients from different restaurants in which they can pick a meal that facility pays for. Every (2) weeks another set of clients can participate if they like. Housekeeping is at the facility daily Monday-Sunday, which consists of 2-3 employees. LPA observed (2) housekeepers at facility cleaning. During client's interviews, 7 out of 7 client's stated Housecleaning cleans the facility. Interviews with 7 out of 7 client's stated staff never make them clean or ask them to clean for food. During client interview's 7 out of 7 client's were aware of the client program of helping out in the dining room for the free meal every (2) weeks.
Based on the information revealed during the investigation, LPA Wolcott did not find evidence to corroborate the allegations, these allegations are therefore unsubstantiated. A finding of 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. An exit interview was conducted with Tammy Chavez (Acting Supervisor), and a copy of this report was provided. |
