Summary
The facility failed to conduct a thorough investigation into an allegation of abuse involving a resident who was unable to communicate verbally or defend herself. According to the grievance report, staff reported a possible sexual assault involving two residents, with the alleged perpetrator denying the incident and the alleged victim unable to provide verbal input. The social worker confirmed receiving the grievance and reporting it to the administrator. However, both the social worker and the administrator acknowledged that a comprehensive investigation was not completed, and the final outcome was documented as no sign of abuse detected without further substantiation.
