During the investigation, LPA reviewed records, interviewed S1, R1, and R1's private caregiver. According to S1, he/she denied this allegation and stated that he/she would never hit or abuse any resident in care. S1 indicated that this situation is retaliation because S1 did not gossip with R1 regarding the PM shift. According to R1, S1 hit him/her on the thighs and it was pinkish/red, however S1 indicated there were no witnesses and no photos. Furthermore, according to R1's private caregiver, he/she did not witness the incident. Based on records reviewed, the former administrator did not endorse the incident to the current staff nor was there documentation regarding this incident.
