Neither R1 nor R2 identified suspects for stealing their money.

On 7/11/23, LPA Mknelly conducted a facility visit and discussed the licensee’s internal investigation results. Interview statements and a video provided to the Director found circumstantial evidence of suspicious behavior of S1 over the previous months. Staff reported S1 to be in areas of the community to which she was not assigned. S1 was alleged to be in the vicinity of the facility when food or supplies were found missing in the facility. S1 had been observed to be in a resident room when that resident was away at the hospital. In these previous observations, S1 was not caught with stolen items.
