On 01/29/2021, LPA interviewed ADM. ADM stated that on 01/20/2021, a law enforcement officer came to facility to respond to a report that a resident (R1) in the facility has been hit by facility staff. ADM stated that R1 was interviewed by law enforcement officer, R1 denied the allegation.
On 01/25/2021, the department received a self reported incident report (LIC624) regarding S3 was hit by R1. According to the report (LIC624), on 01/23/21, staff (S3) found R1's soiled underpants on the floor full with feces. S3 took a picture of the stained floor and soiled underpants to show to R1. R1 then struck S3 on right eye with R1's right fist.
On 01/29/2021, LPA interviewed R1, R1 stated R1 did not tell anyone that R1 was hit by staff. R1 was not able to provide details of incident.
On 3/11/2021, LPA interviewed staff (S3). S3 denied allegation that S3 hit R1. S3 stated S3 did not see or hear any staff hit residents. S3 stated that R1 hit S3 on 01/23/21, but it was not a hard hit. S3 stated it might be possible that S3 and R1 touched each other by accident when S3 changed the diaper for R1, because R1's left side of body is paralyzed.
The department has investigated the above allegations. Based on the investigation, observations, records reviewed, and interviews conducted, the Department found that the
above allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED. An unsubstantiated finding indicates that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the allegations did or did not occur.
