Complaint Investigation Report

Karin Vaughn reports that she is close friend of R1 and that she took R1 into her home to help in the care for a friend. It is explained by Karin that the funds taken from the account of R1 were for charges of monthly rent. She further explained that prior to their death, R1's spouse wanted to pay up-front several months for their spouses care before they passed. Karin reports that she did not receive those funds as the bank returned the check unfunded. LPA contact with Riverside Police revealed that their case was suspended. Interviews conducted and review of reports and documents collected from other agencies, although raise concern, do not prove within the preponderance of evidence needed to confirm financial abuse. We have found the complaint allegation is unsubstantiated, although the allegation may have happened or is valid: there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred. A copy of this report is being reviewed with and furnished to the facility representative.
