Narrative:
It was alleged that facility staff were not meeting client's needs by dropping them off late for school. In interviews conducted, two clients stated that they were usually late for school due to a variety of reasons such as morning staff coming into work late or other clients taking too long to get ready. Both clients stated that staff would generally take clients to school in separate trips depending on who was ready, but that they would also sometimes have to wait on clients that were not too far behind. This would often lead to them showing up to school late. Three other clients stated that they were usually late to school due to clients waking up too late or taking too long to get ready but did not indicate whether staff were showing up to work late. In interviews conducted, all facility staff members stated that the clients would often get to school late because most of them would either wake up late and/or take too long to get ready. All staff members indicated that there were multiple facility vehicles used to transport clients to school and they would take the ones that were ready first to go to school. Staff indicated that on occasion, they would be late for work but that there was always enough coverage from the overnight shift to take clients to school and it was not a factor in their lateness. Interviews conducted with social workers revealed no pertinent information related to the allegation. A review of attendance records revealed that clients were consistently late to school multiple times a week. It was also alleged that facility staff do not pick up youth from school in a timely manner when they are supposed to. In interviews conducted, all clients stated that they have not had to wait an unreasonable amount of time for facility staff to pick them up from school. Sometimes staff may take longer than usual, but it would not be for an unreasonable amount of time. Four clients stated that most days after school, they will call the facility manager and ask if they can stay out on a community pass to spend time with friends. Afterwards, they will meet with staff at a designated time and place to be picked up or call to be picked up. One client stated that they do not generally stay out on community passes and will generally get picked up in a timely manner by staff. In interviews conducted, all staff members confirmed the above statements and stated that clients are afforded the privilege of community passes unless they have done something to lose the privilege. Therefore, they are not always picking up clients right after school ends. Staff stated that sometimes they may run a bit late, but it is never unreasonable. Staff further stated that sometimes they are called by the school to pick up clients that are being sent home for the day. In these instances, staff will try to send someone as soon as possible but they may not always respond immediately due to staffing ratio requirements when clients are present. In interviews conducted, multiple social workers stated that they did not have any immediate concerns regarding staff not picking up clients in a timely manner. (Continued) It was also alleged that on one occasion after school, facility staff drove off and left one client in care stranded. However, the exact client was unable to be identified. Individuals interviewed were not aware of or familiar with the alleged incident. In interviews conducted, all clients denied ever being left stranded after school or seeing anyone be left behind during pickup. In interviews conducted, facility staff denied the allegation and were unaware of any incident of that nature. In interviews conducted, multiple social workers stated that they were unaware of any incidents of that nature. Social workers indicated that they did not have any immediate concerns of the safety of their clients in the home. It was also alleged that clients are allowed to drink alcohol in the facility. In interviews conducted, all clients denied the allegation and stated that if they were ever caught with any type of alcohol or contraband, it would immediately be confiscated, room searches would be triggered, and clients may lose certain privileges. The clients denied staff ever providing any alcohol for them and stated that they generally obtained their alcohol by other means. In interviews conducted, facility staff denied the allegation and stated that they would never provide or allow any type of illegal substance use in the home. Staff are aware that clients are sometimes able to obtain these items through certain means and stated that when caught, the items are immediately confiscated and discarded. In interviews conducted, social workers stated that they were aware that their clients would sometimes obtain alcohol but did not have any concerns or reason to believe that staff may be providing it or allowing it in the facility. It was also alleged that clients are allowed to physically fight each other in the home. In interviews conducted, all clients denied the allegation and stated that staff do not allow or encourage any type of fighting between clients in the home. If it appears that clients may be escalating an argument towards a physical altercation, staff will redirect and separate the clients. In interviews conducted, facility staff denied the allegation and confirmed that they would redirect clients immediately when an argument begins to occur. Staff stated that clients past and present have gotten into physical altercations before, but it was never allowed or encouraged by staff, and it usually happened off-site without staff present. In interviews conducted, social workers stated they have not seen or heard of instances in which staff allowed or encouraged fighting in the home. Social workers stated that they did not have any immediate concerns regarding the safety of their clients in the home. Based on interviews conducted and records reviewed, the preponderance of evidence standard has not been met.

Narrative:
The Following Allegation(s) were reported: 1. The facility staff excludes a minor from outings. Staff members (S1, S2, and S3) refuted the accusation by asserting that no client is left out of any excursion by staff. Nevertheless, in order to take part in outings and enjoy specific benefits, clients are required to follow their program diligently and finish daily responsibilities like household chores, school assignments, and exhibiting positive behavior and attitude. S1 stressed that staff will support all clients in reaching their weekly objectives. In case a client is observed failing to meet their responsibilities, staff will aim to inspire them verbally and propose different strategies to assist them in accomplishing their goals and joining outings. C2 denied the allegations, stating that the staff treats all clients with fairness and respect, and encourages them to take part in both daily activities and weekend excursions. 2. The staff does not ensure that the minor is adequately fed, The accusation was denied by staff members (S1, S2, and S3), who emphasized that all clients receive three meals a day consisting of the five food groups, along with the option of various snacks between meals. The facility has an abundant food supply due to its size, and clients are consulted about their food preferences as long as they meet the requirements of the five food groups. Additionally, staff revealed that C1 would refuse to eat while playing on the gaming system and would become upset when asked to stop in order to have a meal. In such cases, any uneaten food is packed and provided to the client when they are ready to eat. C2 also stated that every client is provided with three meals per day, along with snacks between meals and the opportunity for seconds if requested. 3. The staff conduct poses a risk to the children in care. Staff members (S1, S2, and S3) denied having any knowledge or receiving any reports regarding a staff member smoking marijuana in or around the facility. They emphasized that such behavior will not be accepted and will be dealt with appropriately.
