Allegation: A resident sustained unexplained injuries while in care.
Finding: Unsubstantiated
The Department conducted staff interviews and S1, S2, S3, S4 and S5 corroborated with W3’s statement that R1 had some scattered scabs and areas of skin breakdown and R1 has a history of skin breakdown and struggled with behaviors of aggression and would hit their body on surrounding furniture when they got upset. Staff stated that R1 would become combative and aggressive, but staff would try to calm R1 and redirect, preventing R1 from self-harm. Staff denied hurting or causing any injuries to R1. Interviews with R2, R3, and R4 revealed that they have never witnessed or experienced any injuries from staff. Based on interviews and record review, there is a lack of evidence to conclude that R1 sustained unexplained injuries while in care. Based on the investigation, S1 stated that R1 was taken to the San Leandro Hospital on 11/6/2025, due to increased agitation and aggressive behaviors toward staff. Review of R1’s discharged record of 11/18/2025 received from Alameda Health Systems, indicated that R1’s observed bruises, “were scattered shin scabs and skin breakdown on Bilateral Upper Extremities (BUE) likely from fragile, atrophic skin from age.”
Allegation: Staff did not notify resident's responsible party of an incident.
Finding: Unsubstantiated
During record review, LPA observed that R1 had a previous conservator but obtained a new conservator on 11/3/2025. LPA reviewed email correspondence on 11/4/2025 between the facility and the current conservator being notified of R1's pre existing conditions and R1 being sent to the hospital on 11/6/2025.
Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED.
Exit interview conducted with Dolly and a copy of this report provided.
