25 | On 11/5/20 at 1030 Am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jaclyn Avila conducted an announced case management visit and met with Administrator Cliff Keene. Precautionary measures were taken regarding COVID 19. LPA arrived donned in PPE to include N95, Gown and Gloves. LPA and administrator remained outside the facility.
During the course of complaint investigation (25-AS-20200505094805), California Department of Social Services (CDSS) Community Care Licensing (CCL) learned of additional information regarding an incident reported to CCL on 6/2/20.
On 6/2/20 at 1125 AM, Residential Service Director (RSD) Laura Seely, LVN contacted CCL via phone and reported Resident 1 (R1) had an “assisted fall” on 5/29/20 at 4 PM. RSD reported medical aid wasn’t rendered until 5/30/20 at 2:35 PM when R1 complained of pain at which time EMS was called. RSD reported R1 was subsequently transported and admitted to the Hospital. RSD reported R1 returned to the facility on 6/2/20 with a diagnosis of right femur fracture and was admitted to hospice. On 6/13/20 R1’s death was reported to CCL.
During the course of interviews with facility staff and review of documents provided by the facility, CCL learned, after the “assisted fall,” R1 was put back in bed even after R1 stated her leg felt broken. Staff who were present during the “assisted fall” did not notify a med tech who per the facility fall response procedures, would conduct an evaluation to determine course of actions to include but limited to, summoning emergency medical services. The facility provided corrective action documentation for the staff who failed to report the incident as per facility policy.
