32 | It was learned that the local police department was notified and a responding officer came to this facility and attempted to de-escalate the situation with R1.
It was learned that the responding officer was informed about a possible physical assault unto R1 by a facility staff person, S1, but after conducting their investigation the officer closed out the complaint without any further action being taken at that time. It was deemed to lack significant evidence to support the allegation of any physical abuse having taken place at that time.
Based on interviews conducted, it was learned that R1 had a history of making these allegations of abuse and neglect towards facility staff persons and day program staff persons alike. It was learned that the personal relationships that R1 possessed at this time greatly influenced R1's decisions to point the finger at others when things did not go R1's way at that time. Unfortunately, the main targets for these types of allegations were aimed at facility staff persons and day program staff persons as well.
Based on a review of the forms and documents gathered during this investigation, it was learned that a follow up allegation was made by R1 on 01/29/2025 stating that a facility staff person, S1, had physically assaulted him at the facility from the night prior on 01/28/2025.
It was learned that there were no apparent signs of abuse or injuries observed on R1 by the day program staff who responded to this allegation on 01/29/2025. It was learned that law enforcement was also called out to the day program to interview R1 and day program staff.
Again, law enforcement closed out the investigation of alleged physical abuse since there was a lack of sufficient evidence to support that any components of the physical abuse allegation did actually take place at that time.
As a result of this investigation, this Department found the allegation to be UNSUBSTANTIATED. A complaint allegation finding of Unsubstantiated meant that although the allegation may have happened or was valid, there was not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred.
There were no deficiencies observed or cited at this time.
