13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Shabana Buksh conducted a visual complaint investigation with Executive Director, Freddie Fullon and explained the purpose of the tele-visit. LPA discussed and interviewed the Executive Director regarding the above allegation. The finding is as follows; LPA requested and received all pertinent documents for review. The review of Residents' Admission agreement on page 6, under section (2),(a) Basic Services, states, "We provide the following basic services for the stated monthly rate: (8), Assistance in arranging your transportation to medical and dental appointments, shopping and recreation facilities, and religious activities". In the admission agreement the service does not include transportation cost but includes assistance in arranging transportation. Furthermore, Executive Director stated that Atria does not charge its residents for transportation either it is use of facility transportation or using uber services. The memo that was given to residents' on 07/07/2020 stated that due to Covid -19 epidemic, Atria has decided to take several precautionary measures to keep the community safe, therefore would suspend transportation until further notice. But assistance would still be provided to residents in arranging for the transportation. On 07/14/2020, Atria provided another notice to resident, which reads,'Effective immediately we will provide limited transportation to essential medical appointments only. Executive Director stated, Atria would reimburse residents for all transportation cost during the period transportation was not provided. Therefore, this allegation is deemed Unfounded, meaning that the allegation was false, could not have happened and /or is without a reasonable basis. Report was discussed and emailed to the Executive Director and Reporting party. |
