25 | An unannounced, follow-up case management visit to the facility was made today by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Y. Yang in response to a self reported, alleged personal rights violation incident at the facility on 07/15/24. Previously, case management visits were made to this facility on 07/24/24 and 07/31/24 to interview staff (S1-S5) and make observations. During today’s visit, the LPA met with the site supervisor, Claudia Avalos to discuss the reported incident.
Based on the Unusual Incident Report (UIR) received by the Department on 07/19/24, it was reported by the facility that on 07/15/24, child C1 reported to a staff member (staff S4) that staff S2 hit them on the right side of their buttocks. Site Supervisor Avalos stated that she interviewed C1 and examined the child's body for marks and injuries. Site Supervisor Avalos stated that she did not observe any marks or injuries on C1's body other than a round, "dime sized" mark on the child's buttock. Site Supervisor Avalos stated that the facility conducted its own internal investigation and found the allegation to be unsubstantiated. Site Supervisor Avalos reported that child C1's authorized representative was notified on the day of the allegation.
Based on available information, interviews conducted, and the LPA’s observations, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur. Therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated at this time. A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days. Exit interview conducted and report was reviewed with the site supervisor, Claudia Avalos. There were no Title 22 deficiencies cited during today's inspection.
