Findings
Alleged Victim (AV) relies on the facility for his/her care. Witness 3 (W3) is known to have inappropriate behaviors. On or about August 31, 2021, and September 7, 2021, Witness 3 (W3) had inappropriate sexual contact towards AV when staff were not present. Staff redirected W3 to his/her room once they noticed the behavior. Alleged Perpetrator 2 (AP2) reported to Alleged Perpetrator 3 (AP3) inappropriate behaviors by W3. Incident reports written by staff were determined to be inaccurate by AP2 and AP3, therefore, no internal investigations, reports of suspected abuse or updates to W3’s care plan were made to ensure safety of AV. AP2 and AP3 failed to provide a safe environment for AV, which is neglect of care and constitutes abuse. The facility failed to properly care plan around W3’s known behaviors, which is a violation of resident rights, is neglect of care and constitutes abuse.
