Inspection Report

Complaint Investigation
Capacity: 136 Deficiencies: 0 Date: Oct 7, 2025

Visit Reason
The inspection was an unannounced complaint investigation visit triggered by an allegation of lack of supervision resulting in resident-on-resident abuse with serious injury.

Complaint Details
The complaint alleged lack of supervision leading to resident-on-resident abuse causing serious injury. The investigation included staff interviews and record reviews. The allegation was found unsubstantiated as there was no preponderance of evidence to prove the violation occurred.
Findings
The investigation found that although a resident (R1) sustained an injury after reportedly being pushed by another resident (R2), there was no corroborating evidence that lack of supervision caused the incident. Both residents have neurocognitive disorders, but R2 was not noted to have aggressive behavior. The allegation was determined to be unsubstantiated due to insufficient evidence.
