Complaint Investigation Report

Further, LPA Felias was informed via email from Beacon Day Program Licensee that North Bay Regional Center (NBRC) and their Quality Assurance Specialist investigated the situation which included having C1’s behaviorist conduct a day-long site visit to observe, and this led to the conclusion that C1’s injuries were self-inflicted and not a result of sexual assault. Beacon Day Program Licensee states that C1’s psychiatrist agreed with this conclusion. LPA Florio spoke with NBRC Service Coordinator on 3/28/2025 who confirmed that C1's care team met via Zoom on 2/14/2025 and all agreed that the injuries were self-inflicted. NBRC Service Coordinator informed LPA that they discussed appropriate interventions and safety measures with facility and that C1's IPP will be updated in May or possibly sooner. Additionally, LPA obtained an updated addendum to C1's behavior plan from the care facility on 3/28/2025 which reflects the interventions and safety measures discussed in the care team meeting conducted 2/14/2025.

Based on record review, interviews conducted, and observations made, the allegation of sexual assault resulting in injury is UNSUBSTANTIATED. A finding that the complaint allegation is unsubstantiated means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation(s) did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
