(Continuation from LIC9099) R1’s Needs and Services Plan includes dementia, and that R1 is bed bound, and chair bed transfer. The plan also indicates R1 required assistance with all activities of daily living (ADLs). During the Department’s interviews, a relevant party stated R1 had made similar allegations at three different assisted living facilities prior to being admitted to the Happy Nest facility. This relevant party stated those allegations were unfounded. For the current allegation, the relevant party stated they checked R1’s breasts for redness and for injury and found none. Information obtained from the Licensee and staff interviews stated they were unaware of the allegation until police came to the facility on 12/15/2022. However, the information obtained from the Police Department interviews on 12/15/2022 revealed the Licensee, and staff knew about the allegation for approximately two weeks. During the 12/15/2022 police interview, R1 stated it happened approximately three weeks ago. A review of the Police Department Incident Report revealed the report was taken on 12/15/2022. The officer interviewed the resident, the licensee, facility staff and a relevant party regarding the allegation. The report indicates no corroborating evidence, and therefore they were unable to substantiate a crime occurred. R1 alleged that R1 was touched on R1’s breast by S1. According to S2, R1’s primary caregiver, S1 was assisting S2 in changing R1 the day of the alleged incident. S2 claims that S1 never touched R1 inappropriately and was never left alone with R1. S1 stated that S1 assisted S2 with R1’s changing pad but denied touching R1. Interviews from other facility residents revealed they have never observed any inappropriate behavior from S1 and had no concerns regarding the care or supervision provided at the facility. The Department’s investigation did not provide sufficient evidence to substantiate the allegation of sexual abuse of R1. The Department’s investigation concluded that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is insufficient evidence to prove the alleged violation occurred. Therefore, the allegation “is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time. Exit interview conducted and a copy of this report was provided to Administrator, George Camua.
