Complaint Investigation Report

The second allegation indicates that Staff unlawfully evicted residents while in care. During the investigation, LPA Brown was not able to obtain evidence to corroborate the allegation. Interviews with staff and residents indicated that staff did not unlawfully evicted residents while in care. Interviews with staff and R3's responsible party indicated that R3 was transported by Staff 5 to Loma Linda Hospital for a Specialist Consultation but not to evict R3. During the visit, LPA Brown observed R3 still residing at the facility.

Based on the information obtained and observation, there is not enough evidence to state Staff interfering with on going investigations (allegation #1) and Staff unlawfully evicted residents while in care (allegation #2). Although the allegations may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are unsubstantiated at this time.

An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of this report (LIC 9099) was discussed and provided to Administrator Michael Garcia.
