Complaint Investigation Report

Three residents interviewees reported not being financially abused at facility. Nine of nine interviewees did not corroborate with the allegation "Resident is being financially abused while in care."

During the course of the investigation, LPA Quiroz reviewed video evidence. During video evidence review, LPA Quiroz was able to listen to conversation between Resident 1 (R1) and (L/AD) Almiranez where (L/AD) Almiranez is heard requesting for R1 to sign the admission agreement; (R1) can be heard indicating that he was requested to sign the admission agreement and not signing his finances over to the facility. However, the document being signed is not visible as video recording reflects recording of a wall, R1's face and pictures displayed on the wall. Interview conducted with R1 on 9/7/2022 revealed confirmation that R1 signed the admission agreement and hand written document indicating R1 is handing over disability benefits to facility effective 10/2021.

Based on the evidence gathered from interviews conducted with nine interviewees, video evidence and a review of pertinent documentation, the allegations: "Resident is being financially abused while in care” is deemed Unfounded, meaning that the allegation was false, could not have happened or is without a reasonable basis; Therefore complaint allegations is dismissed.
