According to the documentation, the facility failed to protect the Alleged Victim (AV) from verbal abuse from the Alleged Perpetrator 2 (AP2) and Alleged Perpetrator 3 (AP3). On or about January 19, 2024, the AV was attending wine night at the facility and became intoxicated. The AV becoming intoxicated and having verbal outbursts was common but was not appropriately care planned for. During this incident, AP2 got into a verbal altercation with the AV and started recording the AV’s behavior on their phone. During the altercation between the AV and AP2, AP3 started to engage verbally with the AV, using derogatory language which appeared by video to entice the AV to continue the verbal altercation between the AV and AP2 and AP3. AP2 and AP3 failed to protect the AV from verbal abuse, which is a violation of resident rights, is considered neglect of care and constitutes abuse. The facility failed to properly care plan interventions for the AV’s known behavior of becoming intoxicated and becoming verbally aggressive, which is a violation of resident rights, is considered neglect of care and constitutes abuse.
