32 | An interview with an additional resident indicated that they had not observed any residents being physically assaulted in the facility. LPA attempted to interview (2) residents in care but both residents declined to be interviewed. A review of records, including a statement made by law enforcement, showed that resident (R2) could not corroborate who witnessed the assault and did not have any signs of bruising consistent with being physically harmed by facility staff. Due to insufficient evidence this allegation could not be corroborated at this time, the allegation is unsubstantiated.
The investigation revealed the preponderance of evidence standards have not been met; therefore, the above allegation are found to be UNSUBSTANTIATED. A finding that the complaint allegation are UNSUBSTANTIATED means that although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred. |
