13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Stephanie Torres, conducted an unannounced visit to the facility to initiate the investigation into the above allegation. The LPA met with Carey Dillard-Bender, Licensee, and informed her of the purpose of her visit.
On this visit the LPA conducted staff/resident interviews and toured the facility. Regarding the allegation, "Facility not providing healthful conditions for residents," it was alleged the facility is burning trash approximately four times a day. The tour revealed two fireplaces located on the premises, both of which were inspected. One fireplace was not being utilized, as it was covered with plywood and the second did not have remnants of trash at time of visit. Resident interviews reported no knowledge of the use of the fireplaces at the facility. Licensee Dillard-Bender stated trash is not being burned at any areas of the facility. In addition, the LPA observed trash cans on the premises and copies of a trash bill was provided. Therefore, this allegation is deemed UNSUBSTANTIATED at this time. A finding that the complaint is unsubstantiated means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove the alleged violation occurred. This report was reviewed with the Licensee and a copy was provided. |
