32 | The investigation revealed the following:
Allegation: "Staff member's conduct poses a risk to residents in care." It is alleged that a staff member is accused of being involved in various violent crimes, including neglect and abuse, and is currently on probation. Staff interviewed stated that they were not aware of any convictions or criminal actions related to S2. Staff interviewed indicated that S2 has no history of workplace violence, abuse, or neglect that could pose a risk to clients in care. Staff also stated that S2 did not have any inappropriate interactions such as abuse or altercations with coworkers or clients. S1 confirmed that S2 has never been placed on disciplinary action, or any clients care plan violations. S1 also stated that S2 has provided clients with the required monitoring and assistance. Documents reviewed revealed that S2 had undergone background checks, including criminal record clearance, and had completed the necessary training. No serious injuries were reported among staff or clients related to the alleged abuse. And S2's personal issues did not lead to criminal convictions threatening safety or job performance. The Regional Center indicated that no complaint report regarding this allegation was ever reported to them. There were no witnesses, camera footage, or evidence obtained during the investigation to corroborate with the allegation. Therefore, there was insufficient evidence to corroborate with the allegation.
Based on statements and interviews conducted with staff, review of staff files and facility file records, there was not enough supportive evidence to concur with the reported allegation. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
Exit interview conducted and a copy of this report was provided to Kolresha Colbert, DSP I. |
