Regarding the Allegation: Client was sexually abused while in care.

This complaint alleged that a unknown person sexually abused C1 while in care. LPA Calderon noted staff giving morning medications to clients. LPA Calderon did not witness any negative interactions between staff and clients. Records review indicate the following: Needs and Service Plan indicate that C1 was diagnosed with schizophrenia disorder. Interviews indicate the following: C1 could not provide details of the attack. C2 indicates that C2 never saw an unknown male attack C1 in C1 room. 4 out of 4 staff deny the allegation ever happened.

Based on interviews and supporting documentation, the preponderance of evidence standard has NOT been met therefore, the allegation of “client was sexually abused while in care” 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 Administrator, Mary Montiano (S1).
