32 | Allegation #1: The facility has mold.
The complaint alleged that the facility's ceiling is covered with mold. On February 19, 2026, LPA Richard interviewed the Administrator (A1), who denied the allegation and stated that the facility has maintenance personnel who repair leaks, mold, and tears. That same day, LPA interviewed three staff members, #1-3 (S1-S3), who also denied the allegation and mentioned that the facility has a maintenance staff member who services the facility and residents' rooms. Additionally, six residents, #1-6 (R1-R6), were interviewed, and all denied seeing any mold on the facility's ceiling. Also, during a visit to the kitchen on February 19, 2026, LPA did not observe any mold in the ceiling of residents' bedrooms. LPA was unable to interview resident #1 (R1) because R1 moved out of the facility two days after admission on 05/20/23.
Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation (s) did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated.
