#2 Allegation- Resident was sexually abused while in care

On 4/15/2025 LPA conducted interviews with staff members S1- S5 and 5 out of 5 staff members stated they did not witness or hear R1 being sexually abused by R2. Staff members stated when R1 was observed they only saw visible abrasions to their face and later that evening during their scheduled shower time R1 was observed with abdominal bruising which was reported. LPA interviewed R1, who stated they were not sexually assaulted by R2 only physically punched in their face and stomach.

LPA Allen also obtained and reviewed a copy of R1’s medical summary, which did not indicate any evidence of sexual assault. LPA Allen also interviewed W1, who stated upon arriving to the facility, both R1 and R2 were questioned, and R1 denied ever being sexually assaulted by R2.

LPA attempted to interview R2; however, R2 was not present at the facility during the investigation.

#3 Allegation- Staff did not properly report an incident involving a resident

On 4/15/2025, LPA conducted interviews with Staff 1- Staff 5 (S1 – S5) and 5 out of 5 staff members stated R1 was observed with visible abrasions to their face and body which was immediately reported, documented, and management was informed of the incident the same day. The police were also contacted the same day and upon their arrival both residents were interviewed and R2 admitted to physically assaulting R1 and they were taken into custody.

The Administrator- Brittany Kavanaugh and facility staff self- reported the incident by calling the police, completing the SOC341 and the Unusual incident report LIC624 and sent R1 to the hospital for assessment.

Based on the evidence gathered during the investigation, the above allegation is found to be Unsubstantiated; meaning that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur.
