This is an official report of an unannounced visit/investigation of a complaint received in our office on

08/16/2021 and conducted by Evaluator Angela Panushkina

COMPLAINT CONTROL NUMBER: 31-AS-20210816102454

Facility staff do not prevent resident from smoking inside the facility.

Allegation: Facility staff do not prevent resident from smoking inside the facility.

At 9:15am Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Angela Panushkina and Melissa Ruiz made an unannounced site visit for the purpose of conducting a complaint investigation. The facility was toured, and census was taken. LPAs requested and reviewed client #1 through #4 facility files to ensure that the facility is maintaining a separate, complete and current record of clients and that the files are centrally stored.

LPAs interviewed the Administrator at 9:35am. The Administrator confirmed that there is a client who uses marijuana, but only in designated, outdoor area. The Administrator informed the LPAs that C1 keeps marijuana in his possession will not give to the staff for safe keeping. LPA team also interviewed all four (4) clients. LPA team obtained C1’s Physician Report and the report had no medical marijuana prescription.

LPAs reviewed the facility plan of operation which clearly states that smoking is not allowed on the premises. LPA could smell the marijuana in the living room and dining area which were close to the C1s room. The allegation that the facility has allowed this resident to continue to possess and consume marijuana in the home is Substantiated.

An exit interview conducted, appeal rights explained and copy of this report given to Moses Wakabi.
