Narrative:
During the investigation, LPA Saeteurn interviewed clients (C1-C3), staff (S1-S4), one witness (W2), and reviewed facility pertinent records. Confidential interviews confirmed the verbal exchange that took place on September 23, 2024, in which C1 was attempting to enter the facility garage and S1 informed C1 they were not allowed in the garage. Confidential interviews revealed that S1 was standing in the doorway entrance to the garage, preventing C1 from entering, due to C2 receiving medications from S2 in the garage and C1 having a history of attempting to retrieve restricted items from the garage. Confidential interviews revealed that C1 was challenging S1 to do something about C1 attempting to get into the garage when S1 proceeded to walk towards C1. A review of a Special Incident Report (SIR) submitted by the facility to CCL detailed that C1 tried to run through S1 to get into the garage where a client had just entered to take their medication in privacy. The SIR included that S1 blocked C1 at the doorway and, with arms extended, redirected C1 out of the doorway, and secured the garage behind them. A confidential interview indicated that S1 pushed C1, however other confidential interviews revealed that S1 did not throw or push C1, but rather S1 proceeded to walk towards C1 with their arms out. Confidential interviews revealed that during the process in which S1 walked towards C1, C1 jumped back and fell onto the floor. A confidential interview indicated that C1 exclaimed, "S1 put hands on me" and proceeded to get up to walk to their room. The investigation did not yield witnesses to corroborate that S1 mishandled C1 during the exchange. Based on interviews conducted and record review, the allegation that facility staff mishandled a minor while in care is unsubstantiated. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove the alleged violation occurred. An exit interview was conducted with Joshua Harris, Administrator. A copy of this report and appeal rights were provided and reviewed with Joshua Harris, Administrator, whose signature on this report confirms receipt of these documents.

Investigation Findings:

It was reported that during the altercation, S1 threatened to forcibly remove C1 from a doorway after C1 refused to move.
