- Maltreatment
- It was reported by residents and staff that 2 residents were allowed to use a vape by a staff member while on transportation to an outside medical facility. The staff member was terminated from the facility on 11/22/22, and the staff member who reported it received a verbal and final written warning. Residents and their belongings were searched and nothing was found.
- Licensing follow-up: Licensing spoke with staff, who stated the 2 residents were being taken to the ER for a stomachache and strep throat. The alleged staff member transported them, along with a new staff member who reported the incident. When asked about the incident by management, the alleged staff member stated “something like that may have happened” and refused to discuss it further. The staff member was immediately terminated. A sweep of the facility was conducted and no vape pen was recovered. Child Abuse Hotline call was screened out. Licensing was provided with the discharge papers for the ER visits, witness statement from staff, phone numbers of the staff members, and corrective action plan. Facility was cited for 907.2 (staff failed to provide the level of supervision to ensure the safety and well-being of the residents).
