32 | During their interview, S1 stated they assist R1 with all Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), including showering and grooming. S1 denied ever touching R1 inappropriately during ADLs or otherwise. Per S1, R1 had never reported feeling uncomfortable around them or indicated they had been touched inappropriately by S1 or any other staff. S1 denied personally touching R1 or any other resident inappropriately and denied witnessing or having any knowledge of any other staff touching R1 or any other resident inappropriately.
During their interview, Administrator (AD) Lester Del Rosario denied having any knowledge of staff touching any residents inappropriately and denied any resident reporting any such incidents. AD denied R1 reporting any concerns regarding staff, including S1. Per AD, R1's statements in general tend to be inconsistent due to their medical condition, and R1 will usually repeat back what is said to them. AD denied R1 ever informing them S1 had touched them inappropriately. AD denied having any concerns regarding S1 or any other staff.
Interviews were also conducted with three facility residents. Three of three residents interviewed denied the allegation and denied being personally touched inappropriately by staff or having any knowledge of R1 or any other resident being touched inappropriately by S1 or any other staff.
Due to allegation being uncorroborated during interviews conducted, the Department is unable to determine if resident was inappropriately touched by staff. Although the above 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 at this time the above allegation is unsubstantiated.
An exit interview was conducted and copy of this report was provided at the end of the inspection. |
