- Findings
- Alleged Victim (AV) relies on the facility for h/h care and for a safe environment. Passenger safety documentation provided indicates, passengers in wheelchairs should be removed from the wheelchair and placed in a seat with seat belt on. On or about March 2023 Alleged Perpetrator #2 (AP2) was driving AV on the facility bus, AV rode on the bus in h/h wheelchair with no seat belt across h/h lap and AV wheelchair was not buckled or locked into place, placing AV at risk of serious harm. AP2 did not follow passenger transportation safety guidelines, and a safe environment which is a violation or resident rights, is considered neglect of care and constitutes abuse. The facility failed to ensure a safe environment, which is a violation of Oregon Administrative Rules.
