Regarding the allegation "Resident's personal rights are violated", it was alleged that facility residents have been prohibited by the licensee from communicating with former Resident #1(R1) and are also threatened with eviction if they speak with licensing staff/investigators. LPA conducted interviews with eight(8) residents. Seven(7) of Eight(8) residents reported being encouraged by LIC/AD Cabiling to refrain from speaking with R1. One(1) of eight(8) residents interviewed reported they had been threatened with eviction if they spoke to licensing staff/investigators, and one(1) of eight(8) residents reported they had been threatened with being sued if they reported bed bugs in the facility to licensing.
Based on LPA’s interviews which were conducted, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations (Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8), is being cited on the attached LIC 9099 D.
