Complaint Investigation Report

Allegation: Facility staff are not providing adequate supervision to residents in care. It has been alleged that staff are sleeping and smoking during their shift. (1) out of (5) staff interviews revealed that approximately (3) to (4) months ago, a staff member working the night shift appeared to be asleep during their shift. (2) out of (3) client interviews revealed they have witnessed staff sleep while on shift. On 06/05/25, San Gabriel Pomona Regional Center issued a Corrective Action Plan (CAP) to this facility substantiating that “several staff sleep and/or lay down during their shifts”. This determination was based on staff and clients interviews as well as documentation submitted (including photographs). On 07/29/25, LPA reviewed the CAP with Ebenezer “Ben” Akinola in which he agreed to the findings and agreed to adhere to the CAP. The allegation of staff sleeping during their shift is corroborated by staff and client interviews as well as the CAP that was issued to this facility. There was insufficient evidence to determine if staff smoke during their shift.

Based on observation and interviews conducted the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED .

Exit interview conducted. A copy of this report and appeal rights were provided to Ebenezer “Ben” Akinola.
