Complaint Investigation Report

The investigation revealed the following:

Regarding the allegation, "Illegal Eviction", it is being alleged that the facility will not allow a client to live at this facility. Interviews revealed the following: from 09:35AM - 12:00PM LPA interviewed staff one through staff four (S1-S4) and clients two through five (C2-C5). All four staff have informed LPA that there is no eviction notice for C1. S2 has stated, "we are all here to help C1, which is why we have contacted W2. (They) are like family to us.". Clients two through five (C2-C5) have indicated fear when questioned about C1 returning to the facility. Witness one (W1) has informed LPA that C2 will then have to press charges against C1, if C1 is to return to this facility. From 1:00PM - 1:10PM, LPA interviewed witness two (W2). W2 has confirmed S1-S4's statements regarding "constant contact" with W2, since the only incident that has included C1 since his admission, in order to keep C1 in a safe and healthy environment. Record reviews have revealed the following: One (1) incident report (LIC624) of the most recent altercation between residents had been provided, which verifies the incident's time and date, clients and staff who were involved. Video surveillance shows C1's physical act against C2, and later against C3, which resulted in the request of C2 to contact the local police department. S3 and W2 have both confirmed C1's updated housing location. From 2:20PM - 2:30PM, S2 and LPA have both observed client one/client six (C1/C6) room. C6 verified C1 is no longer residing in their room. S2 has confirmed C1's belongings have been retrieved by W2. Based on LPA's observation, record reviews and interviews conducted, the preponderance of evidence standard has not been met.Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred. Therefore, the above allegation has been Unsubstantiated.

An exit interview was conducted with Kym Nator, Assistant Administrator (S1), and a copy of this report has been provided.
