13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Christi Coppo arrived at this facility unannounced, to open an investigation into the above allegations. LPA met with Administrator Wendy Cornejo.
Complaint alleges resident (R1) sustained an injury due to possible neglect or physical abuse. Complainant states that facility staff observed R1 to have a black eye, it was observed while they were getting R1 ready for morning breakfast. Staff questioned R1 about their eye, but R1 made conflicting statements accounting for they received it; initially stating that a person came in the night and struck them but then reporting to the police that they had a bug in their eye. During investigation, LPA conducted interviews. LPA interviewed seven staff. One (1) staff said they did not directly observe R1 to have any bruising of the eye or a black eye, but that staff reported to them that they saw a bruise, three (3) staff reported seeing a bruise or red mark on R1's eyelid, and three (3) staff reported they did not observe R1 to have any bruising or a black eye. Seven (7) out of seven (7) staff report they did not observe anyone hit or strike R1. So, although the 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 the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. |
