32 | Allegation: Staff do not ensure the facility is free of mold.
It is alleged that staff failed to ensure the facility was free of mold inside the walls of units. During staff interviews, the majority of staff denied knowledge of mold concerns and reported that they had not personally observed mold. Some staff reported ongoing plumbing issues and water leaks, and one staff member reported that residents had previously expressed concerns regarding mold. During resident interviews, the majority of residents reported that they had not observed mold in their rooms or other areas of the facility. Residents did report experiencing water leaks and plumbing-related issues. LPA observations, LPA inspected ten (10) resident rooms and did not observe visible mold. LPA observed evidence of water leaks and water damage in some resident rooms and photographed the observed conditions.
Based on the investigation conducted, which included interviews with staff and residents, as well as a review of relevant records, there was insufficient evidence to support the reported allegation. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. Exit interview was held, and a copy of this report was provided.
