Findings
Alleged Victim (AV) had a history of UTIs. AV showed signs of having a UTI around end of August 2023. The facility staff contacted the AV’s doctor on or around September 01, 2023 and October 2, 2023. The doctor’s office asked for AV to be brought in for an appointment or tele visit. The facility said that AV could not come to the appointment due to lack of transportation. The facility did not set up a tele visit. The doctor agreed to a Urine analysis, but AV still needed an appointment to follow up. A urine sample was collected to test for UTI approximately on a Sunday. AP2 was reported as throwing A urine sample out. The allegation that AP2 threw AV's urine sample out was investigated, and wrongdoing was unable to be determined. AV’s doctor’s office nor the lab ever received a UA for AV.
