32 | Allegation: Staff did not allow client to proceed with therapy session.
It is alleged that staff did not allow client to proceed with therapy session. It is reported that the Administrator interrupted Client #1 (C1) during their 4:00 pm therapy session when C1 expressed that they wanted to continue with the session. It is alleged that the Administrator told C1 that C1 had to go with them and when C1 expressed that they did not want to go the Administrator proceeded to end the session at 4:15pm. It is further reported that staff are aware that C1 has therapy sessions every Tuesday at 4:00 pm. Interview with the Administrator revealed that at the time of the incident, there were no other staff available. Administrator also revealed that there was a previous agreement with C1 that they would attend the outing. Administrator stated that C1 changed their mind at the very last minute causing a schedule conflict with the other client and staff. Administrator denies knowledge of how frequent or set the therapy sessions were, after the incident the Administrator was made aware. Furthermore, the Administrator states that C1 did not express that they did not want to go to the outing and asked the therapist to reschedule, however the therapist gave C1 some push back, and the session was ended by C1. The Administrator agreed that they could have waited for C1 after their session, admitting their error in interrupting the session, and understands that the client has a right to privacy and to have an uninterrupted session. Therefore, based on Administrator admission this allegation is deemed substantiated.
Citation issued. Exit interview conducted and report provided to Administrator.
