W1 stated that they did not witness Staff #1 (S1) or any Staff behave indecently toward Resident #1 (R1) or other residents in care. Furthermore, W1 denied that staff reported that they witnessed S1 sexually abuse any residents. An interview with R1 did not reveal that they were sexually abused and R1 denied that they were inappropriately touched by any staff. No information was found by the Licensing Agency Investigations Branch (IB) to warrant a full investigation. The Reporting Party (RP) stated to the Licensing Agency that Resident #1 (R1) has not disclosed any sexual abuse to them but noted that R1 is mentally disabled and not capable of articulating due to a diagnosis of dementia. When interviewed, R1 did not express that any of the staff made them feel uncomfortable or unsafe. They also denied that any of the staff made them feel threatened or intimidated. R1 denied that any of the staff touched them inappropriately. R1 was asked if they knew the staff member, S1, named in the allegation and R1 stated that yes, they did know S1 but there was no problem with them. R1 did not remember the last time they saw S1. R1 denied that S1 made any sexual gestures toward them while they were around each other. All other residents in care at the facility interviewed by LPA stated that no staff member has made them feel threatened or intimidated. Residents stated to LPA that no staff member has physically touched them in an inappropriate way or made any type of sexual movement/gesture. Based on the information gathered, there is insufficient evidence to prove Staff inappropriately touched residents at the facility. Therefore, the allegation is Unsubstantiated. Exit interview conducted. Copy of this report provided to the facility.
