The lead on duty reported that on 12/16/23 (Saturday) a staff member reported to her that one of the residents said a peer told them that the MHT had shown her a picture of his penis on his phone. This was reported to have happened on 12/10/23 (the previous Sunday) on the second shift after med pass. Cameras were reviewed and there was no evidence of this taking place. Staff never showed the resident his phone. Cameras were reviewed for the entire shift. Corrective Action: Staff suspended immediately until internal investigation is complete. Staff placed on restriction from this resident upon return. Child Abuse Hotline was called, not accepted.
Licensing Specialist: Jarred Parnell
12/19/2023 – A visit was conducted to review camera footage for provider reported incident for 12/10/2023 from 15:15 – 20:20. Video footage was reviewed for contact between the staff person and residents on the green unit. Staff person can be seen with his cell phone but never shows the residents anything on his phone. Whenever the staff uses his phone it’s for approximately 10-20 seconds and the phone is either in his pocket or left on the table. In light of the allegation, the staff person has been placed on a different unit and is currently on restriction from the resident as a precaution.
Licensing investigation is unfounded.
