This is an official report of an unannounced visit/investigation of a complaint received in our office on

07/23/2021 and conducted by Evaluator Victoria Willis

COMPLAINT CONTROL NUMBER: 21-AS-20210723160856

Licensing Program Analyst Willis arrived unannounced to deliver findings regarding the above allegation and met with Administrator, Sarah Araya.

During investigation, LPA conducted interviews and reviewed documents. Complaint alleges that a staff member was intoxicated while at work indicating that staff has returned to the facility with beverage containers that appeared to be alcohol, has fallen asleep while on shift and has vomited. Other interviews conducted denied seeing staff appear intoxicated but some did observe or hear about staff vomiting. Those interviewed did not necessarily attribute staff getting sick to them being intoxicated.

A finding that the complaint allegation that staff is intoxicated during work hours was unsubstantiated meaning that although the allegation may have happened there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the allegation occurred. We have therefore dismissed the complaint.
