(continued from LIC 9099) During the course of the investigation, Investigator Ferris interviewed the administrator, staff, and residents on different dates and times on 10/17/24 and 11/18/24. IB Investigator Ferris also reviewed hospital records on 11/12/24, Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD)’s records on 10/07/24 and 11/07/24. Regarding the allegation resident sustained multiple fractures while in care, it was alleged that due to staff neglect, Resident #1 (R1) was punched in the face by Resident #2 (R2) sustaining injury and fracture on R1’s face and hip fracture due to R1’s eventual fall. Investigator Ferris’ record review of LAPD’s report revealed that R2 was arrested immediately after the incident at the facility but upon receipt of the facility surveillance video footage of the incident, the Deputy District Attorney rejected to file a case against R2 due to lack of sufficient evidence and eventually released R2 back to the facility. Investigator Ferris’ and LPA’s review of the facility surveillance video footage revealed that R1 and Resident #3 (R3) were together around the corner of the facility along the hallway and upon seeing R2 walking towards them, R1 charged R2 and punched R2 in the face. R2 reacted by punching R1 back (in the face) causing R1 to fall to the ground. R2 then walked away while R3 stayed with R1 until staff arrived and called 911. LPA’s record review on 03/29/25 also revealed that R1 and R2 were able to perform their own Activities of Daily Living (ADL)s including but not limited to toileting, managing own cash resources, feeding and with minimal assistance on dressing/grooming and bathing. Based on the information gathered during the course of the investigation, the allegation is deemed unsubstantiated at this time. Exit interview conducted. Copy of this report issued.
