Incident investigation·November 5, 2024

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Stephanie Martinez, conducted an unannounced visit to the facility to follow up on an incident reported by the facility regarding an alleged sexual assault involving a resident in care. The LPA met with Facility Manager, Amanda Redell, and informed her of the purpose for the visit. The Unusual Incident Report (UIR), received on 10/21/2024, revealed that on 10/20/2024 Resident One (R1) called 911 and reported a staff member touched a private area of their body on two separate occasions. The LPA's investigation included staff, resident and third party interviews, records review, and records collection. One third party interview revealed the suspected individual was Staff One (S1). The third party and staff interviews revealed no one works for the facility by S1's name. R1 was interviewed and reported the incidences did take place several months ago. R1 provided a name of the alleged suspect, identified as Staff Two (S2). S2 was interviewed and denied the allegation. Three (3) resident interviews revealed no knowledge of any inappropriate behavior between staff and residents. Additional time is required, prior to the conclusion of the investigation, in order to obtain further information. This report was reviewed and a copy was provided. (NOTE: Administrator, Emely Rodriguez, was not available for the LPA's visit).
