Complaint Investigation Report

The complaint alleges that staff inappropriately touched resident R1.

The BPD investigated the matter and was unable to find any witnesses or physical evidence to prove that abuse occurred. Therefore, the BPD inspection was closed with a finding of unfounded.

The Department’s interviews of the 4 staff members who were not accused of inappropriately touching R1 revealed significant inconsistencies in R1’s statements to them about the alleged inappropriate touch by S1. Physical inspection of the facility, reviews of records, and interviews of 3 of the other residents revealed no witnesses or physical evidence to show that R1 had been inappropriately touched by staff member S1.

Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED .

Exit interview conducted and a copy of this report provided.
