Findings
Alleged Victim (AV) relies on his/her wheelchair for ambulation. Witness 2 (W2) regularly put AV's wheelchair in the restroom so he/she could not self transfer. The facility was aware that W2 moved AV's wheelchair. The facility failed to intervene and ensure AV's wheelchair was accessible as to not restrict his/her ability to ambulate, which is a violation of resident rights, is considered a wrongful restraint and constitutes abuse.
