Alleged Victim (AV) relies on facility for his/her care. On or about March 24, 2021, AV and Witness 1 (W1) were sitting side by side when W1 kept reaching with their hand in front of AV. W1 then shifted their entire body to face AV and placed both hands on AV. Staff intervened and heard another resident say to W1 to keep their hands to themselves and that’s when the staff member saw W1’s hands on AV’s thigh. The facility failed to provide a safe environment for AV which is a violation of resident rights, is neglect of care and constitutes abuse.
