- Findings
- Alleged Victim (AV) is a resident of the facility and relies on facility staff to ensure that h/h personal care, safety, and supervision requirements are met. AV requires hands-on staff assistance with toileting, incontinence care, showers and is known to be regularly resistive to care. On or about March 12, 2024, Alleged Perpetrator 2 (AP2) and Witness 3 (W3) were assisting AV with a shower after an episode of incontinence. Witness 2 (W2) reports responding to a request on the radio that someone needed help in AV's room. W2 reported that AP2 had one hand on AV's thigh and one hand on AV's shoulder. W3 admitted to Witness 5 (W5) that W3 was the one holding AV down and not AP2. Then W3 was told to write a statement and h/h story changed. AP2 reports W3 was holding AV down and AP2 was only washing AV's hair. AP2 reports W2 used this to retaliate against h/h for reporting concerns to management. It was reported that AV experienced significant emotional upset because of the shower. There is equal evidence that AP2 wrongfully restrained AV in the shower and that AP2 did not wrongfully restrain AV in the shower. The allegation that AP2 wrongfully restrained AV was investigated, and wrongdoing was unable to be determined. The facility failed to provide a safe environment, failed to appropriately care plan, and implement reasonable interventions to address AV’s known resistance to care, which is violation of resident rights, is considered neglect of care and constitutes abuse.
