–A Minnesota Department of Human Services investigation has determined that a caregiver at a St. Cloud assisted living facility abused a vulnerable adult living there. The report indicates that a staff member of REM Central Lakes which operated a residence at 2501 Goettens Way, got into a confrontation with a resident on October 10th that led to the resident suffering a black eye, scratches, and broken eye glasses and a necklace. The Human Services Department determined that the staffer, whom it did not identify, grabbed the neck of the resident, slammed the resident into a wall and to the ground. Once on the ground, the staffer put a knee into the stomach of the resident to gain the upper hand. The case was referred for possible criminal charges against the staffer. The caregiver involved in the incident is no longer an employee of REM Central Lakes. The company is limited in what it can say about the incident because of privacy and confidentiality laws.
