Regarding the Allegation: Staff physically abused resident.

This complaint alleged that the facility staff abused residents in care. LPA Calderon noted staff serving breakfast to residents. LPA Calderon witnessed staff moving residents with no issues and there were no negative interactions between staff and residents. LPA Calderon reviewed the following records: The Physician Report (dated 07/02/2025) indicates that R1 lives independent life and has cognitive issues. Email reviewed (dated 11/16/2025) suggests that R1 has cognitive issues. Interviews indicate the following: 5 out of 5 staff deny the allegation. R1 cannot be interviewed due to not being in the facility. 13 out of 14 residents deny the allegation.

Based on interviews and supporting documentation, the preponderance of evidence standard has NOT been met therefore, the allegation of “staff physically abused resident” is found to be UNSUBSTANTIATED.

No deficiencies cited during today's visit.



An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of the Complaint Report was provided to the Director Brooke Lamotte (S1).
