Summary of Investigation
COMMUNITY PROVIDER
I. Initial Allegation(s):
It was reported that an identified staff (A. B.) was asleep on the sofa. This
was the only staff on duty and both of the ladies require an awake staff to
keep them safe.
II. Conclusion(s):
The preponderance of the evidence does support the allegation that the
person served was neglected (supervision), in that staff (A.B.) was less than
alert and attentive to the needs of the individual. A violation of the DIDD
Provider Manual, Chapter 18, 18.3.A.2, for Community Providers, is
substantiated.
III. Recommendation(s):

3. It is recommended Agency Management email the response and plan of
correction to DIDDINVPOC.East@tn.gov within fourteen (14) calendar
days from the release of this report. The release date is the day the
Investigations Office forwarded the report to the Provider via email.
B. For unsubstantiated investigations, it is recommended that Agency
Management develop a response (do not submit to DIDD) to include:
1. Verification that the implicated staff person(s) was notified of the outcome
of the investigation;
2. If the incident was reported to DIDD in an untimely manner (as identified in
this final investigation report, section IV.B.) what has been done to
address late reporting; and
3. Verification that all incidental information was addressed.
There were no records that indicate the identified staff had been trained
on the training specific to the needs of the two persons served.
The agency provided excellent assistance in obtaining the needed
documentation and setting up interviews
