outcome of the investigation, specifically whether the allegation was determined to
be substantiated, unsubstantiated, or unfounded. This determination is documented
on the facility’s investigative/incident reporting forms.
The facility reported that there were six allegations of sexual abuse during the past
12 months; investigation documentation was reviewed by this auditor and resident
notifications were identified in each instance on the NNDJS PREA Investigation
Notification Tracking Form.
Policy further requires that NNJDC make reasonable efforts to obtain relevant
investigative information from outside investigative agencies in order to inform
residents of case outcomes when applicable. The PREA Coordinator serves as the

that she would relay findings to residents when available.
In cases involving staff sexual abuse allegations, policy requires NNJDC to inform the
resident of specified developments, including if the staff member is no longer
