During their interview, S2 stated R1 tends to be verbally abusive towards staff, however, denied being personally abusive towards R1 and denied having any knowledge of any staff being physically abusive towards R1, including S1.
Due to allegation being uncorroborated during interviews conducted, the Department is unable to determine if Staff physically abused resident. Although the above 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 at this time the above allegation is unsubstantiated.
