The inspector’s account

Regarding Allegation #1 : this investigation revealed that (former) Client #2 would wear saggy pants and while standing in line for their medications on 10/29/20, Client #1 observed Client #2's pants to be sagging too much. Client #1 felt sexually harassed by Client #2 because the client refused to adjust the saggy pants. A1 observed the incident and advised Client #1 that Client #2 has personal rights for dress attire and cannot be violated of those personal rights. Interviews conducted corroborated that they have not been sexually harassed by another client nor observed other clients being sexually harassed by another client in care. Majority staff interviewed corroborated that they have received the Mandated Reporter Training upon hire.

Based on the evidence gathered and interviews conducted and records reviewed, 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 of PERSONAL RIGHTS: Resident is being sexually harassed by another resident in care is found to be UNSUBSTANTIATED.

Regarding Allegation #2 : this investigation revealed that (former) Client #3 continues to return to the facility after moving five (5) years ago in 2017 to visit former acquaintances that reside at the facility. Client #1 will avoid (former) Client #3 whenever former Client #3 is at the facility visiting acquaintances. Interviews conducted corroborated that (former) Client #3 visits other acquaintances residing at the facility; but, they do not feel threatened by Client #3 nor do they wish to have their personal rights violated by whom can visit these clients at the facility. LPA/RA toured the facility grounds and observed the self-locking exit gates and the front main entrance self-locking door (with an adjacent intercom system) for after-hour visitation use.

Based on the evidence gathered and interviews conducted and observations, 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 of PERSONAL RIGHTS: Resident is being threatened by a former resident while in care is found to be UNSUBSTANTIATED.

An exit interview has been conducted and a copy of the Complaint Report provided to Administrator (Ruby Garcia).
