- Findings
- The Alleged Victim (AV) and Witness 1 (W1) both rely on the facility for care. W1 has a history of aggressive behaviors that often lead to both verbal and physical altercations that include ramming people with their power wheelchair and throwing things. According to an investigation, on or about January 6, 2024 W1 was in a heightened emotional state and after having two previous physical altercations with other residents, W1 threw a bowl of guacamole at the AV. The next day, January 7, 2024, W1 engaged in additional altercations with other residents, and then threw orange juice at AV while attempting to hit AV with their power wheelchair. The facility failed to provide appropriate services, to include implementing a care plan and implementing effective interventions to address W1's behaviors and provide a safe environment for AV, which is a violation of resident rights, is considered neglect of care and constitutes abuse.
