32 | A resident's (Resident 1) belongings were misplaced.
During the investigative process, the assistant administrator, six staff persons and other persons were interviewed. Various documents were obtained to include Physician’s Report, Admission Agreement, Incident Reports, Activities of Daily Living Basic Care Services, Appraisal/Needs and Services Plan, Personal Property and Valuables document and the Resident’s Assessment document.
Most staff and others reported that the residents at the facility have dementia and that they do have a tendency to walk away with other resident’s items. The Property and Valuables List document was reviewed, and it did not have the resident’s items listed, but rather a “slash” through the document and the Power of Attorney’s (POA) signature. A list of the resident’s items were not listed. It was reported that when the resident moved out, her belongings were misplaced and were not available for her to take them with her, which included some garments and shoes. The facility staff reported that they have obtained some of the resident's items and are available to be picked up at the front office.
Based on LPAs observations and interviews which were conducted and record review(s), the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation(s) is found to be Substantiated. California Code of Regulations, (Title 22), is being cited on the attached LIC 9099D.
Appeal Rights were explained and provided to the facility representative listed above and an exit interview was conducted. If any of the cited deficiencies are not corrected by the noted due dates; civil penalties may be assessed.
