Allegation: Staff did not prevent a client from inappropriately touching another client in care
It was alleged that facility staff failed to prevent a client from inappropriately touching another client while in care. Specifically, it was alleged that a client reported waking up with fecal matter in their clothing and observing blood in their stool, leading C2 to suspect possible inappropriate contact while asleep and drowsy from medication. It was further alleged that the incident occurred during overnight hours and that staff supervision was insufficient to prevent the alleged inappropriate contact between clients.
On 01/06/2026, between the hours of 9:35am - 10:00am, LPA interviewed the Administrator (A1). A1 denied the allegation and stated that an incident report was completed by a facility MedTech. The incident report occurred on 12/28/2025 at approximately 2:55pm - 3:00pm. The MedTech conducted a body check on C2 after C2 alleged that they had been physically touched by C1 due to C2 observing blood in stool. On 12/29/2025, C2 recanted the allegation and informed law enforcement and the medical mental health team that no inappropriate touching had occurred. Also on 12/31/2025, C2 was evaluated by their psychiatrist and stated not being touched inappropriately by C1.
On 01/06/2026, between the hours of 10:16am - 11:08 am, LPA interviewed 6 staff regarding the allegation.
4 of the 6 staff stated they were aware of the allegation and reported that immediate actions were taken once the incident was reported, including conducting a body check on C2 and making changes to room assignments so that C1 and C2 were no longer roommates. 2 of 6 staff stated they were unaware of the allegation and explained not having an knowledge of the incident being reported.
On 01/06/2026, between the hours of 8:52am - 9:31 am, the LPA interviewed 8 clients regarding the allegation. At the time of the interviews being conducted, Client 2 (C2) refused to be interviewed regarding the allegation. In regards to the allegation, 8 of 8 clients denied the allegation.
On 01/06/2026 at 11:15am, LPA conducted a records review and observed the department received a fax of a LIC 624 Unusual Incident Injury Report (dated 12/28/2025 at 02:55pm). Upon review the LIC 624 states Client 2 (C2) in the beginning reported to staff a possibility of sexual abuse. C1 and C2 remain separated and room reassignment took place due to the allegation.
