Complaint Investigation Report

R1 stated that R2 came into the room and grabbed a stick that R1 keeps in the room and hit R1's arm. R1 also stated that R2 did not hit R1 hard and that staff rushed in the room and removed R2 from the room. R1 stated that it is not the staff fault because this happened very suddenly and it was unpredictable. R2 stated that R2 passed by R1's room and the door was open and R1 yelled obscenities at R2. That is why R2 went inside the room and hit the bottom of the bed. R2 denied hitting R1's arm. R1 stated that there has been no further issues with R2 since that incident. Residents interviewed did not witness the incident, but stated that staff do tend to intervene quickly in this kind of matters. There is no concrete evidence that R2 hit R1. However, staff did intervene quickly and prevented any major injuries.

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.
