13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Anna Bueno conducted an unannounced visit to the facility to initiate the investigation of and deliver findings to the above mentioned allegation. LPA identified herself to assistant administrator Erika Montoya and discussed the purpose of the visit and elements of the allegation. The investigation included facility observations, resident and staff interviews, and records review.
It is alleged that the facility is not doing anything regarding residents who smoke inside their rooms. During today's visit, LPA did not observe any residents smoking in the designated smoking area but observed a resident smoking in the parking lot, at least 20 feet away from all facility exit doors. LPA did not smell cigarette smoke in the facility. Resident interviews confirm that the facility has a no smoking indoors policy. Staff interviews reveal that no resident has been observed smoking indoors however reports were received from staff and residents. Staff further state that they speak to the resident in person to remind them of the no smoking policy. Records reviewed list the no smoking facility listed in the resident house rules and policies and procedures. Based on the above allegations, this complaint allegation is unsubstantiated. ***SEE LIC9099-C*** |
