25 | 12/30/2024 11:00 AM Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Rebecca Knight, made an unannounced visit to the facility and met with administrator Nora Serrano. The purpose of this visit was to deliver the results of a case management investigation.
On 12/05/2024 LPA received a complaint against the facility alleging that care home staff physically abused a resident. LPA conducted a complaint investigation and determined that the allegation is unfounded. However, LPA determined that a personal rights violation occurred.
It was learned that C1 came back to the facility and asked for money. Staff explained that C1 was not due to receive money until the following Friday. C1 started repeatedly asking for money. Staff stated they did not slap C1 but did place both of their hands on either side of C1’s face and “held C1’s face” attempting to calm C1. House manager stated they did not witness the encounter but did hear it from another room. Holding the client’s face is a personal rights violation.
Based on interviews, documents and evidence obtained during the investigation, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore, the allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, (Title 22), is being cited on the attached LIC9099D. Appeal rights were provided. Exit interview was conducted and the report was provided to administrator Nora Serrano.
