Complaint Investigation Report

It was also alleged that the facility does not provide planned activities to clients. Clients and outside sources state that clients do nothing but sit around and watch television. While inspecting the facility, LPA noticed several clients sitting on chairs outside, smoking cigarettes. LPA noted some clients were inside common areas watching television. No programming or activities were occurring at time of LPA's visit.

LPA asked staff if the facility offers clients any programs or activities. Staff said that it does. They offer "house rules" activities, staying sober, anger management, trips to the 99-cent store, board games and physical exercise. Staff said facility staff facilitate the programs and activities to the clients themselves.

During this investigation, LPA obtained and reviewed a copy of the activity calendar for August 2022 which listed various activities and programs occurring on most days of the month. LPA also obtained copies of client sign in sheets which indicated client participation.

Based on interviews with clients and staff, this investigation yielded no evidence to support the allegation that staff allows clients access to illegal drugs. Additionally, based on interviews and facility record reviews, there is insufficient evidence to prove the allegation that the facility does not provide clients with planned activities. As such, the preponderance of evidence standard was not met for these allegations. As such, the allegations are Unsubstantiated.
