Licensee restrained client - UNSUBSTANTIATED
2 of 3 clients stated that licensee Mike Whiteside had restrained a client. 1 of 3 clients stated the licensee never restrains clients.
3 of 4 staff stated they did not know anything about licensee Mike Whiteside restraining a client. 1 of 4 staff stated they heard the licensee had restrained a client but did not witness it.
The licensee Mike Whiteside stated they did not restrain a client, Client 1 (C1) was upset because Client 3 (C3) was sitting on the couch and C1 told C3 to move. C1 ran toward C3 and the licensee got between them.
One day program administrator stated that C1 had not told them anything about being restrained by the licensee. One day program staff stated C1 told them he was arguing with C3. C1 got up and the licensee stopped C1 from getting up, sat C1 on the couch, and held C1’s shoulders. The day program staff did not witness the licensee restraining C1.
Licensee Michelle Whiteside stated C3 was sitting in the living room and C1 went to punch C3. Mike (licensee) got up in the living room and stood between them. Licensee Michelle Whiteside was not present in the facility during this interaction.
It was determined that there was an argument between two clients and licensee Mike Whiteside got between them to prevent further escalation of the situation. Although two clients stated that the licensee had restrained a client, one of the clients who stated this did not witness the licensee restraining the client. One staff said they heard about the client being restrained but did not witness the client being restrained. This allegation is unsubstantiated.
