32 | Allegation: staff hit resident.
It was alleged that Staff #1 (S1) hit Resident #1 (R1). To investigate this allegation, LPA Tan conducted interviews with S1 and residents on 08/29/2025, and on 01/21/2026, LPA Rahimi conducted interviews with the Administrator and S1.
During interviews, S1 denied striking, kicking, restraining, or biting R1 during the incident which occurred on 08/27/2025. S1 stated that R1 intentionally slid from the bed and that S1 attempted to assist R1 back into bed. S1 reported that R1 grabbed, scratched S1, removed clothing, and attempted to pull S1 closer. S1 stated that minimal physical contact was used only to create distance. S1 further reported that R1 bit S1’s fingers, resulting in bleeding, and that emergency medical services were contacted, with R1 transported to the hospital the same night.
During interviews on 01/21/2026, the Administrator stated that the facility does not permit the use of physical force or restraints and that staff are trained in de-escalation techniques. The Administrator denied that S1 hit R1.
LPAs reviewed the facility incident report and available documentation. No documentation or independent evidence was observed substantiating that staff struck R1. However, during the initial and subsequent visits, LPAs were provided with photographs showing S1’s injuries to the neck and fingernails resulting from the incident.
Based on interviews, photographs, and record reviews, LPAs were unable to verify that staff hit R1. Therefore, this allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated, at this time.
