Complaint Investigation Report

Interviews with facility staff revealed C2 has resided at the facility for approximately 8 years, is non-verbal, and has 24-hour supervision. Staff interviews revealed C2’s main trigger is certain types of food. Staff interviews corroborated C2 does not assault the other clients, but rather the other clients intentionally provoke C2 by taunting him with food. An interview with Staff 1 (S1) revealed they have video of an occasion when C2 tried to get to food and bumped or brushed into another client who then assaulted C2. LPA Correia observed footage of the incident between C2 and another client that corroborated the staff statements. A facility records review revealed Special Incident Reports (SIRs) that facility staff submitted to Community Care Licensing (CCL) that also corroborated staff statements and revealed no indication of C2 being assaultive towards other clients.

Due to lack of corroborating evidence, the finding regarding the above allegation was established to be unsubstantiated. This finding means although the allegation may have happened or could be valid there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred.

LPA conducted an exit interview with DSP Nunez and was provided a copy of the Complaint Investigation Report (LIC9099) and Licensee Rights (LIC9058 01-2016) and signature on this report acknowledges receipt of the documents.
