LPA conducted a previous visit on 4/12/22 to address the incident. LPA met with the administrator and explained the reason for this visit.
On 4/4/22 an incident report was submitted regarding client #1 (C1) who was being changed and assisted to bed by staff # 1(S1). While S1 was assisting C1 another staff (S2) stood by and observed. S2 observed S1 attempt to pull up C1's left pant leg that C1 attempted to turn around when S1 used their forearm to stop S1 from turning and then S1 lifted their arm and made contact with C1's left outer thigh with an open hand. Shortly after that C1 tried to grab S1, and S1 kept C1 at a distance with their forearm and with an open hand made contact with C1's upper arm. S2 immediately told S1 that their action was inappropriate and then checked C1 to see if they had any marks, signs of pain or distress to which C1 had none. S2 stated that the contacts made with the open hand was not aggressive or meant to hurt C1. The administrator was called and notified about the incident. S1 was immediately placed on leave from their job duties. Facility reported the incident to North Los Angeles Regional Center and Community Care Licensing. Since then all staff have had Pro-Act Training which is learning to redirect and handle behaviors, to ensure that staff and clients are protected at all times.
