Complaint Investigation Report

Mold was discovered by the cleaning/restoration company in various sections and rooms of the building, and part of the mediation included putting dehumidifiers in many residents rooms to prevent mold. (6) out of (8) residents interviewed corroborated the allegation and stated that the noise from the construction and machines /dehumidifiers prevented them from sleeping or napping. Some residents interviewed stated that the dehumidifiers were loud and put out a lot of heat which made their rooms hot and made it harder for them to sleep. Interviewed residents also indicated that the dehumidifiers placed in their rooms ran continuously for approximately a week or so. LPA observed that the walls in the 2nd floor hallway and the resident's room are still under construction but there were no safety precaution signs or that work is in progress.

Based on LPA's observation, interviews, and record reviews, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED . Deficiency cited on the attached LIC 9099D.

An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of this report was provided to Lucy Alonso, Med Tech along with the Appeals Rights.
