Complaint Investigation Report

The Department obtained a copy of Antioch Police Report that was closed without further investigation due to C1 denying abuse. W6 stated facility staff provides “immaculate” care to C1 who has been living at the facility since May 2013. W6 also stated she has no concerns for C1’s safety at the facility.

Interview with S1 revealed S1 was in communication with C1 physician when redness rash had appeared on 9/17/2023. S1 noticed the redness began turning into bruising by the following day and provided additional pictures to C1 physician as the “rash” developed on arms and legs. S1 was following all order from C1 physician. S2 stated that C1 is verbal and communicated that the “rash” was itchy. S2 believes it was a side effect from a new medication C1 was on. Since C1 medication was changed the “rash” and bruising has resolved.

Based on records review, interviews conducted, and observations made, the Department has investigated the above allegation that client sustained unexplained bruises while in care and found it to be unsubstantiated. A finding that the complaint allegation is unsubstantiated means that although the allegation may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred.

Exit interview conducted and a copy of this report provided.
