25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Brian Balisi initiated a case management visit for the self-reported incident, which occurred on June 28, 2020. On 7/1/2020 Licensing received information that Resident 1 (R1) informed Administrator that Staff 1 (S1) allegedly inappropriately touched R1. Due to the situation surrounding the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), and to implement mitigation measures, today’s case management was conducted telephonically at 10:30am with Lito Vitug, the facility administrator.
Between 10:30am - 11pm LPA conducted telephone interviews with the administrator and a video call which consisted of a review of physical plant. LPA also requested copies of Census, Staff schedule, admission agreement and resident documentation relevant to the incident, to be emailed to the LPA by end of business day today.
LPA interview with Administrator revealed that he and his team are discussing whether to keep S1 on schedule or be allowed to continue to work on a modified basis. Admin stated that S1 has worked at the facility for over (3) years and has had no prior issues from either staff or residents.
