Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

On 8/15/2022 LPA Tryon arrived at the facility to deliver complaint findings. LPA met with Executive Director Morgan Whinery. The Department has interviewed witnesses, residents, staff, Executive Director; obtained and reviewed documentation including incident reports, medical assessments, care plans, daily notes, staff schedules. Through interview of multiple witnesses and the accused staff, the Department has found that male staff S1 did on several occasions reach his hand down into female residents undergarments with his hand to check to see if the resident was wet and/or needed changing, as well as putting his face close to the crotch area of residents’ pants to smell if they were wet. Therefore, the allegation that staff member inappropriately touches female residents in care is SUBSTANTIATED. A finding that an allegation is Substantiated means that the preponderance of evidence standard has been met. The following deficiency is cited as per Title 22 Regulations and the Health and Safety Code. Exit interview conducted, appeal rights provided.
