Complaint Investigation Report

LPA's interview with three (3) staff revealed they have never observed staff throw an object at any clients in care . LPA interviewed the Administrator who denied eve r throwing an object at C1 or any other client in care. Additionally, during interviews with both the Administrator and the complainant, it was disclosed that C1 has a known history of making false statements. The complainant did not report any concerns regarding staff harming or causing injury to clients. LPA's records review of incident reports revealed the bruising that was observed on C1 appeared to be consistent with injuries that were sustained on a previous incident that occurred at the home on 03/19/2025. The report indicated that C1 became physically aggressive with sheriff's deputies during a home visit. During the visit, C1 threw themselves onto the ground and sustained bruising on their right arm when deputies assisted C1 to their feet. As of 04/17/2025, the bruising that was observed appeared to be older and not recently inflicted. At the time of the investigation, C1 was not available for an interview. Based on the information obtained during the investigation, the Department does not have sufficient evidence to corroborate the allegations. Although the allegations may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the above allegations, “Staff threw a rock at client in care" and "Client sustained an injury while in care" are deemed Unsubstantiated at this time.
