32 | Regarding the allegation: Staff are physically abusing residents in care. It’s being alleged that two staff are abusing residents while in care. The investigation revealed the following: LPA interviewed 4 out of 35 staff. 0 out of 4 confirmed the allegation. All staff interviewed unanimously denied the allegation. S1cites, S2 and S3 do not provide direct support services to residents in care and act in an administrative role, solely.
During interviews with residents, LPA Agard interviewed 7 out of 71 in total. 0 out of 7 confirmed the allegation. All residents interviewed unanimously denied the allegation. All residents interviewed state they have never been hit or witnessed any residents being physically abused. Many residents interviewed denied knowing S2 and S3. R6 states, “I think I know S2, but I know S3 and they are both good to me.”
Based on LPA’s observation, and interviews conducted, the preponderance of evidence standard has not been met. Although the allegation(s) may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation(s) did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated.
An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of the report was given.
