There was an incident report and SOC 341, Report of Suspected Dependent Adult/Elder Abuse, that was submitted to the licensing agency of when both these two residents had an altercation with each other. Law enforcement were also called by the administrator, who responded on the date of the incident. Law enforcement deemed that it was an argument between the two residents, but there was no mention or report of staff neglect or injuries sustained by either residents. Law enforcement suggested that the administrator separate both residents by having them in different rooms, which the administrator complied. Interviews with random residents were made, and these interviews do not confirm staff neglect or lack of supervision. Review of both R1's and R2's record reveal that both R1 and R2 are independent, alert, and have no cognitive impairment.
Based on the department’s observations and interviews and record review, which were conducted, there was not enough evidence to prove that a resident was assaulted to due to staff neglect. Therefore, the allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time. |
