32 | Regarding the allegation: Staff caused injury to resident while in care
The complainant alleged that resident #1 (R1) was hit by staff and sustained a bruise. This facility self-reported an incident on 5/18/2020, nothing that R1 fell on 5/13/2020. Follow-up interviews revealed that R1 sustained a bruise as a result of hitting an object during the fall. The LPA reviewed video footage of the incident, and it was revealed that R1 lost their footing and fell as a result. Staff were not observed hitting R1; however, R1 was observed falling into an object, which is how the bruise was sustained. Interviews conducted with witnesses to the incident confirmed that R1 was not hit by staff. Interviews with staff and a responsible party revealed that staff interact appropriately with all residents at this facility, including R1. Interviews negated ever observing staff being physically aggressive towards residents in any fashion. Information obtained from R1 was inconclusive.
Based on the information obtained, there is insufficient evidence to support the claim that staff caused injury to resident while in care. This allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time.
No deficiencies cited at this time. Exit interview conducted. A copy of the report was emailed to the Executive Director to obtain signature.
