Complaint Investigation Report

Based on investigation, interviews with staff at the day program revealed that clients are always supervised while they use the restroom. No clients are allowed to go to the restroom alone and staff stand outside the restroom door until the client is done. Client (C1) gave a description to the Police Department of a male that sexually abused him/her but the story changed and was inconsistent. C1 was unable to provide a consistent detail about what occurred. C1 provided a name and descriptions of the alleged abuser, however, there were no person that fit that description at the day program. The only person who fit the stated name was the opposite gender than what was described.

Multiple interviews revealed C1 has made similar allegations that has not been proven true. An interview with C1’s service coordinator revealed C1 has made similar allegations in the past but has admitted to lying about those allegations.

Based on interview, record review, and observation the Department has investigated the above allegation to be UNSUBSTANTIATED. An unsubstantiated finding means although the allegation may have happened or is valid there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur.

No deficiencies were cited per California Code of Regulations, Title 22.
