25 | Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Natalie Gayoso and Melody Brown conducted an unannounced visit to the facility to deliver findings. LPAs introduced themselves and discussed the purpose to today’s visit with Administrator, Lawanna Jones
LPAs informed the administrator that today’s case management visit is to address the deficiencies found within an Incident Report and SOC 341 received on May 2, 2019. The incident report involved neglect/lack of care and supervision of a client in care. The report indicated a staff member walked in on two (2) clients engaged in sexual activity on April 28, 2019. Client 1 (C1) offered Client 2 (C2) cigarettes and soda in exchange for sex. Per the needs and services plan dated June 19, 2018. C1 has a history of sexually inappropriate behaviors.
C2’s most recent Individualized Placement Plan (IPP), dated March 12, 2019, reads “After a recent hospitalization, the physician believed that C2's mental capacity (such as the ability to give consent to sexual activity) was diminishing." The needs and service plan dated March 12, 2019 for C2 indicates they require constant supervision while in the community and at home.
Per the department’s investigation, the administrator, house manager and Behavior Specialist were to take additional measures to prevent C1 from entering C2's room to engage in sexual activity by increasing supervision and installing a lock on the bathroom door that separates the two clients. The bathroom lock can only be unlocked while in C2's room.
The incident was investigated by the Department in which nine (9) interviews were conducted revealing that staff failed to meet the residents needs by failing to increase supervision of C1 to prevent sexual activity with C2. Refer to LIC 809D for deficiency cited
An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report, LIC 809D, and Appeal Rights were given to the Administrator. |
