32 | Allegation: Staff refused to allow resident to return from the hospital
The detail of the complaint alleges that “C1 was discharged and medically cleared, however, A1 refuses to take the client home."
On 9/15/25 at 12:17pm, the Department interviewed Administrator (A1) regarding the allegation above. A1 denied the allegation stating he never refused to allow client to return from the hospital. A1 further explained that on 9/23/22, C1 was transported RUHS medical Center instead of RUHS Psychiatric Hospital--the desired location due to C1’s behaviors. A1 stated, “they wouldn’t do it, I just wanted them transport C1 to the proper place, but the hospital wanted to discharge C1. Lastly, A1 stated that "they threatened me saying I am abandoning C1, which was not true.” C1’s conservator reportedly had to intervene to get C1 transported to the requested psychiatric facility.
On 9/15/25, between 1:00pm and 2:30pm, the Department interviewed 2 staff regarding the above allegation, and of those interviewed. 2 out of 2 could not provide any information regarding the incident as they were hired after the incident occurred.
On 9/15/25, the Department obtained reviewed and evaluated the following documents: Unusual Incident Report (UIR) dated 9/23/22 , Staff Roster (dated 6/22/25), Client Roster (dated 10/23/24), C1’s conservatorship document (dated 8/29/22), C1’s Physician’s report (dated 7/26/22), C1’s medication list (3/27/24), C1’s personal rights (dated 11/1/21), and C1’s Pre-placement appraisal (11/1/21).
Based on interviews conducted, and documents reviewed, there is insufficient evidence to support the above allegation. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation(s) did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
There were no deficiencies cited during today's visit. Exit interview conducted and a copy of the report was provided.
