32 | Between 7/28/2020 and 8/31/2020, the Department interviewed 5 staff and the alleged victim (AV). 5 out of 5 staff stated they did not witness other staff sexually abused resident while in care. All staff stated there are always two staff who assist the AV with cleaning after toileting. On the day of incident when AV accused staff (S1), there was another staff (S2) who was present. S2 believed S1 might have unintentionally been too rough while cleaning AV. But S2 remembered that prior to cleaning AV, S1 told AV he would be cleaning her private parts as this was normal staff procedure. Licensee confirmed that both staff told her about the incident. Upon knowledge, licensee no longer had S1 assisting with cleaning AV. S1 no longer worked at the facility shortly after. AV stated after she complained to licensee, S1 was no longer allowed to assist her. AV said she felt safe at the facility and had no issue with the male or female caregivers.
Based on record review, LIC 602A of the AV revealed that AV did not have dementia.
Based on interviews and record review, the Department has determined that the allegation was UNSUBSTANTIATED, meaning that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur.
