25 | 05/24/2022 1:00 PM Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Rebecca Knight, made an unannounced visit to the facility and met with administrator Mendee Harrong. The purpose of this visit was to conduct a case management investigation. Prior to initiating the visit, LPA completed required COVID-19 testing protocols, and a daily self-screening questionnaire for symptoms of COVID-19 infection to affirm no COVID-19 related symptoms; contacted administrator and completed a facility risk assessment. LPA ensured they applied hand sanitizer before entering the facility and the following Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) was worn: N95 Mask, gloves.
Today's meeting concerns an investigation into two incident reports that were received from the facility on 05/19/2022 regarding incidents that occurred at the facility on 05/17/2022. It was reported that on 05/17/20220 Client 1 (C1) had a behavior that escalated into attempting to hit Staff 1 (S1) with a frying pan. S1 locked themselves in the office of the facility hoping to de-escalate the situation. C1 then went into Client 2’s (C2) room and when C1 exited C2’s room C2 had a cut on their forehead and on the top of their head. It is unknown whether C1 did something to cause the injury or C2 did it themselves as they are known to occasionally hit walls with their body. There were no witnesses to what occurred in C2’s room. C1 was inside of C2’s room for about 1 minute. The other staff person was on the phone calling administrator and ensuring the safety of the other clients in the house.
It was learned that S1 was in the office for 2-3 minutes while C1 de-escalated. There was 1 other staff person in the facility at the time of the incident. C1 has not exhibited physical aggression since they moved into the facility one month ago. The contributing factor to triggering this aggression was a telephone call that C1 received while they were participating in an activity.
