32 | LPA interviewed witness (W1) who stated that on May 13, 2023, W1 saw a staff (name unknown) giving a bath to a naked client (name unknown) in facility garage that is open. W1 also indicated that the client ran away and was redirected by staff back to the facility. On May 15, 2023, W1 again witnessed two naked clients being given a bath in the garage. However, when verified. W1 stated that W1 assumed the clients were being given a bath, because the clients' hair were damped.
LPA inspected the garage which showed no bathroom nor faucet. Although the garage is attached to the main house, there's no direct access from the house to the garage. One has to exit the main house and enter through the garage door or through the back door to gain access.
All 4 staff stated no clients take a bath nor given a bath in the garage. All residents can take a bath on their own. All 4 staff also stated none of the clients go to the garage naked nor have bolting and/or AWOL behaviors, LPA reviewed all 3 clients' records which confirmed the staff statements. LIC602A Physician's Reports showed all 3 residents can take a bath on their own.
All 3 clients stated they take a bath in the bathroom inside the facility, and never go out of their rooms or to the garage naked.
Based on all information gathered during the course of investigation, the allegation is closed as unsubstantiated. A finding that the complaint is unsubstantiated means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred.
No deficiency cited.
Exit interview conducted, and copy of this report provided. |
