13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kimberly Lyman conducted an unannounced complaint visit to deliver findings on the above allegation. LPA was greeted and granted entry into the facility and explained the reason for the visit.
During the course of the investigation, LPA toured the facility, interviewed staff, clients, and witness as well as reviewed and obtained pertinent documentation such as facility notes and Individual Program Plan. Regarding the allegation that resident is being physically abused by an unknown perpetrator, the investigation revealed the following: Client 1 (C1) is diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy, Severe Intellectual Disability and non-verbal. C1 is ambulatory and always on the move. Client has an unsteady gait due to diagnosis. Facility staff indicate the client has a propensity to fall due to unsteady gait thus increasing chances for bruising. During the investigation, LPA observed client walking around the facility with an unsteady gait. Facility documentation indicates a fall resulting in bruising that occurred in June 2023. Five out of five clients, three out of three staff and one out of one witness deny any abuse in the facility. Due to conflicting information, LPA is unable to corroborate CONT ON LIC 9099C DATED 10/18/2023 |
