13 | On 10/26/22 at 11AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) M. Garcia-Centeno arrived unannounced to conduct an initial 10- day investigation regarding the above allegations. LPA was greeted by staff (S3). LPA identified herself and discussed the purpose of the visit with S3. In addition, LPA spoke over the telephone with Licensee/Owner (LC) and Administrator (ADM) to whom she explained the purpose of the visit.
Allegation: Facility staff did not treat resident with dignity
Investigation Finding: Unsubstantiated
During investigation, LPA R. Ruiz conducted interviews with reporting party (RP), responsible party (POA), facility staff (LC, ADM) and obtained facility records. On 10/17/22 and 10/26/22, LPA R. Ruiz conducted interviews with RP and POA. On 10/06/22, POA expressed dissatisfaction with staff (S1) because she was verbally abusive, abrupt and rude towards R1. RP stated that she did not observe any of the behaviors described by POA during her weekly visits. On 06/08/26, LPA D Panlilio attempted to contact RP, POA and former staff (LC, ADM) with the phone numbers provided and found that the phones services were no longer valid and no messages could be left. Review of facility records confirmed Blue Skies of Tri-City closed on 03/25/25. Due to lack of obtainable information, the allegation could not be substantiated. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did occur, therefore the allegation that facility staff did not treat resident with dignity was found to be unsubstantiated.
