32 | Regarding the allegation: Facility does not have adequate food supplies; it is the reporting party’s concern that the facility has low food supplies and no emergency food items. It was further reported that the facility has no food at all because the owner wants to save money and the residents are only provided water as a meal. To investigate the complaint the LPA conducted a tour of the kitchen, pantry and break room, and conducted staff and resident interviews. In addition, on 05/12/2022 LPA Rosales conducted staff and resident interviews. The LPA observed the sufficient two (2) days perishables and seven (7) days non-perishable foods which included food from all groups such as meats, dairy, eggs, breads, and fresh fruits that included apples, and bananas. The LPA observed emergency food and water in a pantry located in the staff break room. Interviews conducted with the Administrator revealed that food is delivered to the facility weekly on Thursdays and Fridays by two large food supply companies. Staff and resident interviews conducted revealed that residents have always been provided with food and drinks.
Based on LPA observations, and interviews conducted, the Department does not have sufficient evidence to support the allegation of “Facility does not have adequate food supplies;”. Therefore, this allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time.
