(Continued from 9099) Regarding Allegation: Staff had inappropriate interactions with resident in care. It is alleged that R1 had inappropriate relations with a visitor (V1). Administrator S1 stated that the alleged staff is not a staff at facility and not a volunteer but is rather a visitor of resident (R1). Assistant Administrator (S1) stated that V1 was introduced as R1’s girlfriend. R1 refused to discuss this allegation with LPA. Seven (7) out of 7 residents did not corroborate the allegation and some expressed shock that LPA would ask such a question. Several residents stated that all staff are very nice and do not know of any residents having inappropriate interactions with staff. LPA interviewed five (5) staff, and all stated they are unaware of any inappropriate interactions between staff and residents. Several staff stated they knew V1 to be girlfriend of R1 and that is how R1 introduced V1. LPA attempted to interview W1 and was unsuccessful. The investigation revealed that V1 is not an employee or volunteer at this facility. This agency has investigated the complaint alleging, Staff had inappropriate interactions with resident in care . We have found that the complaint was UNFOUNDED , meaning that the allegation is false, could not have happened and/or are without reasonable basis. We have therefore dismissed the complaint.
