Regarding the allegation that staff are handling C1 in a rough manner, in an interview with LPA, C1 reported not being handled in a rough manner by any facility staff. Interviews with other clients in care reported not witnessing staff handle C1 in a rough or aggressive manor nor staff treating them in a roughly. An interview with an Outside Source (OS1) who is familiar with C1 and the facility reported no concerns regarding staff mistreating C1 or any other clients in care.
Regarding the allegation that staff do not treat C1 with dignity and respect, C1 reported to LPA feeling safe and supported by facility staff. Interviews with other clients in care reported staff treating them well and none observed staff mistreating C1. OS1 reported not having any concerns about staff not upholding client’s personal rights or mistreating clients. During unannounced facility visits, LPA did not observe any staff behavior to raise concerns regarding treating clients with dignity and respect.
The Department has investigated the allegations staff are handling (C1) in a rough manner and staff do not treat C1 with dignity and respect. Based upon the information obtained during this investigation, it is determined that the preponderance of evidence was not met to support or corroborate these allegations and therefore deemed unsubstantiated.
An exit interview was conducted with Roosevelt Edwards House Manager, to whom a copy of this report and the Licensee’s Rights (LIC9058 01/16) were provided.
