Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Liliana Silveira conducted an unannounced complaint investigation visit and delivered findings. LPA Silveira explained the purpose of the visit and was granted entry into the facility by staff Leandra Smith. LPA reviewed the report with staff Lori Garcia. The Department’s investigation consisted of LPA observations, interviews and a records review. On June 11, 2026, it was alleged that the Licensee retained Resident #1 (R1) in the facility, even though they had a higher level of care needs. It was also alleged that this led to Resident #2 (R2) being inappropriately touched by R1. On June 12, 2026 the Department conducted an unannounced visit and observed that there were two (2) staff present caring for the residents. (CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE, LIC 9099C) Unsubstantiated (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1, LIC 809) The Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) who conducted the visit was present for 3 hours and did not observe any health & safety issues. The Department conducted a records review and reviewed the medical assessment dated 02/27/26 for R1. The report revealed that R1 is diagnosed with dementia and macular degeneration and sometimes suffers from disorientation and hallucinations due to their conditions. A Department interview conducted with R2 on June 19, 2026 revealed that R2 denied ever being touched inappropriately by R1. Department interviews conducted with three (3) facility care staff also revealed that while there was a brief period that due to R1’s condition, R1 had confused R2 for a previous male partner, the three (3) staff did not witness inappropriate behaviors from R1 towards R2. Interviews with the three (3) staff also revealed that immediate action was taken by the facility to have R1 moved to a separate room and provide a new caregiver to assist R1 with redirection and activities. A Department interview with the Administrator revealed that R1 was recently seen by a Geriatric Psychiatrist who placed R1 on a new medication regimen and R1 is calmer and less agitated. Finally, an interview on June 25, 2026 with an outside source who advocates for R2 revealed that they have not observed any inappropriate behavior from R1 towards R2 in the past few weeks. There is insufficient evidence to support these allegations. The preponderance of evidence standard has not been met, therefore, the above-mentioned allegations are unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted with Administrator Patricia Pena, and a copy of this report, along with Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC 9058 03/22) were provided to the Administrator via email. Signature below confirms receipt of all documents. **NOTE: LPA left the facility for a 1 hour lunch break and to complete this report.
