According to R1’s most recent Physician’s Report R1’s primary diagnoses include schizophrenia and paranoia with a history of delusions and mild cognitive impairment. The Physician’s Report also notes R1’s confused and disoriented mental conditions. During an interview with the Department, R1’s responses were incoherent and R1 did not report ever being harmed by a resident or anyone else at the facility. An interview with facility staff revealed the alleged resident R1 named in the allegation is not someone who has ever been a resident at the facility, nor the name of any staff or visitors. A review of Resident Roster, Staff Roster, and Visitor’s Log corroborated this information. Further, observations made by the Department during unannounced facility visits did not raise any concerns regarding lack of supervision.

The Department has investigated the allegations that staff do not provide adequate supervision resulting in resident being sexually assaulted by another resident. Based upon the information obtained during this investigation, it is determined that the preponderance of evidence was not met to support or corroborate this allegation and therefore deemed unsubstantiated.

An exit interview was conducted with Caregiver Wilma Castagnola, to whom a copy of this report and the Licensee’s Rights (LIC9058 01/16) were provided.
