Regarding the allegation that R1 was under the influence of fentanyl due to staff neglect in an interview with LPA, R1 denied the use of using fentanyl. Interviews with facility staff and an Outside Source (OS1) who interacts with R1 frequently reported R1 not having a history of illicit drug use. Additionally, R1 cannot leave the facility unassisted and there were no instances of R1 leaving the facility unattended leading up to the alleged incident. Per interviews, R1's whereabouts are minimal to the facility and their Day Program, where they are also supervised. A follow up drug screening done on March 17, 2026 showed negative results for fentanyl. There is no evidence to support R1 used fentanyl due to facility staff neglect.
Regarding the allegation that staff are not meeting R1’s incontinence needs, an interview with R1 reported that staff care for their incontinence needs. Further, an interview with OS1 reported no concern regarding R1’s incontinence needs being met by facility staff. During unannounced facility visits, LPA did not observe anything to raise concern regarding incontinence needs being unmet.
The Department has investigated the above mentioned allegations. Based upon the information obtained during this investigation, it is determined that the preponderance of evidence was not met to support or corroborate these allegations and therefore deemed unsubstantiated.
An exit interview was conducted with Administrator Noemi Vasquez, to whom a copy of this report and the Licensee’s Rights (LIC9058 01/16) were provided.
