...continued from LIC9099 Allegation: Staff engaging in inappropriate behavior while in the presence of residents. UNSUBSTANTIATED LPA conducted interviews with Staff (S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6, S10, S11), Residents (R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6) and Witness #1 (W1). S10 stated that several residents and staff members have heard S4 and S5 engaging in inappropriate behavior in the office and in the presence of residents. Interviews with Staff (S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6, S10, S11) revealed that they had heard rumors about S4 and S5; no staff stated that they had heard or witnessed S4 and S5 engaging in inappropriate behavior in the presence of residents. R5 stated that he/she thinks there’s a strong possibility of the allegation but would not go into details. R1, R2, R3, R4, R6 and W1 were not aware of the allegation and never witnessed S4, S5 or other Staff engaging in inappropriate behavior in the presence of residents. LPA and S1 discussed scheduling meetings with Staff and Residents to mitigate the spread of rumors at the facility in an effort to maintain good morale within the facility. 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. Exit interview and a copy of this report provided to ADM.
