Complaint·March 19, 2026

On 2/11/26 and 3/9/2026 the Department interviewed residents in care, of which two out of two residents interviewed reported no concerns related to the facility staff and did not witness any staff act inappropriately with any clients; The Department attempted to interview two additional residents but did not receive responses to interview questions and one resident was not present at the facility due to hospitalization. Three out of three staff interviewed on 2/11/26 and 3/9/2026, stated staff do not mistreat any residents and there has not been any staff has sexually abused a resident. Administrator, Rita Flowers (S1) stated that Resident 5 (R5) is a new resident and staff started to notice they were having "hallucination" like that of psychosis. S1 stated this change in condition resulted in them noticing that R5 starting to make false claims and say“unusual things” including saying stated staff were hurting Resident 4 (R4). S1 thinks this is because R4 suffers from a lot of pain and is often heard complaning of pain, they say “oww” or “ahh” out loud and R5 likely thought that “R4 was being hurt by staff for some reason”. Staff 3 (S3) and Staff 2 (S2) stated that R4 was making “odd comments” such as saying “they saw us bury a pig in the backyard” which is untrue. S2 stated R4, R5, nor other residents are abused by staff, “I don’t know why [they] say that”. S1 stated that on 2/9/26, R5 called 911 and they told the Paramedics that a resident was being abused. R5 was transported to the hospital per their request. The sheriffs came to the facility later that day to speak with R4 but they were unable to do so because R4 did not respond to any questions. R5 has not returned to the facility and no longer resides at this facility. On 2/11/26 and 3/9/2026, the Department also attempted to interview R4 but they did not respond to interview questions. Based on review of records and interviews, the allegation “Staff is sexually abusing a resident” is unsubstantiated , as there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation. Although the Department has determined that the allegation above is unsubstantiated, if any additional information is received this complaint can be amended and the finding can be changed. There are no deficiencies noted or cited per California Code Regulation, TITLE 22. Exit interview was conducted with the facility S2 and a copy of this report was left at the facility
