- Findings
- Alleged Victim (AV) is care planned for staff assistance with showers and has a known history of refusing showers. On or about April 7, 2020, AV was in his/her room watching tv. Alleged Perpetrator 2 (AP2) entered AV's room and told AV it was time for his/her shower. AV did not want to shower. AV and AP2 engaged in a verbal altercation. AP2 grabbed the tv remote from AV's hands. When AV attempted to leave the bathroom AP2 blocked his/her way so AV could not exit. Witness 3 (W3) responded to AV's room due to hearing cries for help from AV. W3 told AP2 to leave the room and AP2 complied. W3 was able to complete AV's care. The next day staff noticed finger size bruises on AV's hands. When asked what happened AV reported AP2 grabbed AV's hands during the altercation and AV slapped AP2. AV reported feeling like he/she had no rights. AP2 grabbing AV's hands causing bruising is considered physical abuse. AP2 yelling at AV is considered verbal abuse. AP2 blocking AV from exiting the bathroom is considered involuntary seclusion and constitutes abuse. The facility failed to protect AV from AP2's actions which is a violation of Oregon Administrative Rules.
