13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Tuesday Cabiness conducted an unannounced visit and met with Administrator Marine Karapetyan to explain the purpose of the visit, which was to finalize the complaint allegation received. On January 9, 2023, the Woodland Hills Regional South Adult and Senior Care Office received a complaint alleging, “Resident was sexually assaulted by male staff.” The complaint was referred to the Community Care Licensing Division’s (CCLD) Investigations Branch (IB) and assigned to Investigator Heidy Bendana for further review and interview of the alleged victim/resident. Investigator Bendana interviewed resident #1 (R1), who denied being touched inappropriately. (R1) stated that staff #1 (S1) was unfamiliar with cleaning (R1) after toileting. Based on (R1’s) statements, IB determined that the allegation did not require escalation to a full investigation.
On January 15, 2023; July 15, 2024; and October 17, 2024, between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., LPA T. Cabiness conducted additional visits to follow up on the matter, interviewing (R1), (S1), and other residents and staff. |
