- Failed to meet the scheduled and unscheduled needs of residents
- Result
- Substantiated
- Findings
- The Alleged Victim (AV) relies on the facility to provide a safe environment and requires staff to remind and ensure the AV used an assistive device for ambulation. According to an investigation, on or about October 2, 2024, the AV's cottage was left unattended with no staff present. The AV ambulated independently without their assistive device and fell, resulting in an injury to the head. The allegation that the Alleged Perpetrator 2 (AP2) neglected the AV was investigated and determined to be inconclusive. The facility failed to ensure adequate staff in numbers to meet scheduled and unscheduled needs of residents' at all times, placing the AV at risk of harm, which is a violation of resident rights, is considered neglect of care, and constitutes abuse.
