32 | Allegation #2: Staff did not seek medical treatment for residents in a timely manner.
The complaint alleged that when the staff was informed that the client had bruises, they did not seek medical care for the client in a timely manner. On June 4, 2026, the department interviewed the Executive Director (ED), who denied the allegation and stated that when clients are injured or in pain, the staff would take them to the Emergency room or call Medical Emergency. However, when C1 was in pain, they did. On June 4, 2026, the department interviewed two staff members, S1 and S2, regarding the allegation. Both staff members denied the allegation, explaining that they had asked C1 whether C1 were in pain, to which C1 responded "no" and indicated a desire to go to the Day Program. Later that same day, after picking C1 up from the Day Program, the staff took C1 to the emergency room. C1 was seen by a doctor and released the following day, February 16, 2024.
On June 4, 2026, the department interviewed two clients, C1 and C2. Both clients reported that the staff treats them well. C1 confirmed that the staff took them to the emergency room after returning from the Day Program. C1 also mentioned that C1 initially did not want to go to the emergency room but later agreed.
On June 4, 2026, the department reviewed the Emergency Room (ER), discharge paperwork dated February 15, 2024, which indicated that C1 was admitted to the hospital with a boil on the left index finger. The department also contacted the placement agency, which reported that the Service Coordinator for C1 at the time no longer works there and that no information is available.
