Complaint·March 27, 2026

It was alleged that on 8/2/2024 multiple staff reported that seven (7) dementia residents had reported being raped or inappropriately touched by S1. It is alleged that (R1) reported to (S2) that S1 touched them inappropriately. The Department interviewed residents, staff, and witnesses, and the allegation could not be corroborated. An interview was conducted with R1, during which a photo of S1 was shown. R1 did not recognize or recall S1. S1 was interviewed and denied any sexual abuse of residents. Interviews and record reviews indicated that S1 generally worked from 2 PM – 10 PM and was terminated from the position due to violation of company policy. According to S1 personnel records on 7/16/2024 and 7/25/2024 S1 was found lying in residents’ bed by themselves instead of assisting residents in the dining room. During the investigation it was documented that S5 conducted interviews with relevant parties and there wasn’t any documentation to support the allegation of sexual abuse by S1. Although S1 has a history of disciplinary action, none of the actions reviewed supports the allegations of sexual abuse. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED at this time. No deficiencies were cited during this visit. An exit interview was conducted where this report was discussed and provided to the Executive Director Rachelle Wheaton.
