C1’s IPP states that C1 exhibits body movements, property destruction, aggression, resistive behavior and emotional outbursts. Staff interviewed stated they have reported when clients in care have had bruising through daily progress notes and report into management immediately. Management stated that when incidents happen they report it all mandated parties. The facility does body checks with C1 and notates all bruising throughout the whole body on a daily basis twice a day. Staff stated if they have seen any staff be physical with any clients in care they would notified management immediately.

Based on records reviewed, statements from Stockton PD, interviews with reporting party, and staff the information provided, it was unclear if client sustained a bruise due to staff physical abuse was deemed UNSUBSTANTIATED.

The Department (CCLD) has found the allegations. Unsubstantiated.

A finding that the complaint allegation(s) are UNSUBSTANTIATED means that although the allegation(s) may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation(s) occurred. Exit interview was conducted with and report left.
