The inspector’s account

On May 5, 2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Komal Curley conducted an unannounced case management visit in relation to an incident that occurred on 4/20/26. LPA met with Administrator, Jim Sidoti and explained the purpose of the visit.

The Licensee reported on 4/20/26, Resident 1 (R1) reported Staff 1 (S1) was sending "disturbing communications" via Facebook to R1. R1 emailed administrator screen shots of the messages between him/her and S1. On 4/22/26, S1 was put on administrative leave. Belmont Police and all other required parties were notified.

During the visit, LPA interviewed administrator, collected documents, and interviewed R1. According to the administrator, when he interviewed S1, he/she denied allegations of disturbing communications with R1, however administrator stated and showed LPA screen shots and there was proof of S1 asking R1 for money, S1 sending R1 a photo of what looks like a S1 with a deceased person, and many more concerning messages. Administrator stated S1 resigned when he was interviewing him/her.

According to R1, he/she did not report this matter sooner because he/she thought S1 needed a friend and S1 just needed someone to talk to as R1 believed S1 had mental health issues. R1 indicated that he/she feels safer and comfortable now that S1 is no longer working at the facility.

No citations are issued during this visit. Report is reviewed with the administrator and a copy is provided.
