The allegation alleges R1 stated initially that they were sexually abused initially by S6 and then later stated they were sexually abused by S3 and S4. The interview with R1 revealed that no one has ever touched R1 inappropriately and no one has put their hands on them. R1 stated when they first moved in, S4 hit them but could not remember exactly what happened or the details. Record review reflects R1 moved into the facility in 2015. During the interviews with S3, S4, and S6 they denied ever abusing R1. S4 stated during their interview that R1 accused a former staff member of hitting them about four years ago but did not know if it was true. During the interviews with S1, S2, S5, and S7, they all denied knowing of any abuse occurring with R1 and any staff members. LPA Ascencio attempted to interview R2 but they were unable to be interviewed due to their impairment. The other residents in the home were also unable to be interviewed due to their impairments.

Based on the information obtained, there is insufficient evidence to support the allegation of sexual abuse occurred. Therefore, the above allegation “staff sexually abused resident while in care” is deemed unsubstantiated at this time.

Exit interview conducted and report reviewed with Joy Carino. A copy of the report and appeal rights were emailed.
