Complaint Investigation Report

*This document is amended to support a finding of substantiated instead of unfounded, a new report supercedes this one*

1 client interview, 3 staff interviews were conducted. The Concensus statement regarding safegaurded cash is that all monies spent on the residents behalf were for thier personal benefit, and not to the benefit of the facility or another resident.

In process of the investigation, LPA became aware of a seperate statement was made to VMRC by the resident in conflict with the statement made to the LPA, where the resident presented the monies as a necessary expense to cover basic services expenses for the facility. two reciepts were presented to the LPA for record review, showing not only a large amount of grocery purchases with duplicate and exccessive amounts of food for a single persons consumption, but a two containers of 56 oz fabulosa, which could not be logically construed as for the residents personal consumption. An interview with the VMRC service coordiator illuminated a possible motivation for the resident to end the investigation as quickly as possible, that the resident is legally embattled and would prefer his residency in the home to be made stable.

Based on LPAs observations and interviews which were conducted and record review(s), the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation(s) is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, is being cited on the attached LIC 9099D.

Appeal rights were provided. An exit interview was conducted, a copy of the report was read and given to the administrator.
