Facility Evaluation Report

11/28/2023 12:30 PM Licensing Program Analyst Rebecca Knight conducted an unannounced case management visit and met with administrator Anita Macias. Today’s visit is regarding an incident that occurred on 11/09/2023 and was reported to licensing on 11/10/2023.

It was reported that on 11/09/2023 Client 1 (C1) was on a community outing and was sitting next to Client 2 (C2) in the facility van. When C1 got off the van they reported to staff that C2, who was seated next to C1, touched C1’s body. C1 reported that they told C2 "that was not OK." C1 stated they told C2 a few times to stop and it's not OK.

During the course of the investigation, it was learned that eight clients went on an outing to the park. On the return trip there were 2 staff and 8 clients on the bus. C1 did not say anything to staff until they return to program and told the administrator. Administrator talked to both clients, C2 denied touching C1 and stated that C1 had touched them on the leg. Neither client had any additional information to add.

In order to prevent this from happening again the day program has made sure that the two involved clients are not going on the same outings and staff have been asked to monitor them.

No deficiencies are being cited as a result of today’s visit.
