Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Sarina Ramirez conducted an unannounced visit to deliver findings on the allegation mentioned above. LPA met with Program Director Darlene Emerine and explained the purpose of the visit. The Department's investigation involved interviews and records review.

The allegation alleged that Staff sexually assaulted a client in care. Based on the departments interviews, Client #1 (C1) was unable to provide consistent statements, dates, and times to solidify the allegations at hand. The dates C1 provided were inaccurate and did not align with Staff #1 (S1) work schedule.

LPA conducted interviews with five (5) clients and two (2) staff, LPA found insufficient evidence to substantiate the sexual assault allegation.

Therefore, the alleged allegation has been determined Unsubstantiated. Unsubstantiated; meaning that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur.

An exit interview was conducted where this report (LIC 9099) was discussed, and a copy was provided to Program Director Darlene Emerine.
