Complaint Investigation Report

LPA requested and was sent an un-redacted investigation report from the Santa Rosa Police Department. In the report the investigating officer (SRPD1) stated, “C1 did not disclose any physical abuse to me.” Additionally, the investigating officer stated, “Based on the totality of my investigation, I do not believe C1 is being assaulted in a manner that meets the criteria of 368(c) PC”. 368(c) PC refers to California Penal Code Section 368 , which defines and penalizes elder and dependent adult abuse, making it a crime to willfully cause suffering, neglect, or endangerment to vulnerable individuals, punishable by jail, fines, and potential felony charges. Facility staff stated they were unaware of or had witnessed any physical or mental abuse of C1. LPA interviewed C1. During the interview, when asked if anyone has ever hurt you at the facility C1 responded, “No they were nice there, we went on a vacation. When can I go back?”. When asked if anyone has ever been mean to you at the facility C1 replied, “No, not at all. When can I go back?”. During the interview C1 asked numerous times when can they go back to the facility. So, although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.

No deficiencies cited during today's visit.
