On 12/23/2024 at 2:30 PM Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) L. Alexander arrived unannounced to conduct a Case Management visit. LPA met with Caregiver, Leonilla "Leoni" Montealto, and explained the purpose of the visit. Leoni phoned Licensee/Administrator, Rudy & Anabelle Galera to inform. Anabelle Galera authorized, Caregiver Liza Sanchez, to sign document report.

While LPA L. Alexander was conducting a complaint investigation (15-AS-20230629095623) on 12/23/2024. During record review LPA observed R1's file did not include annual medical assessments and appraisals. The appraisals reviewed were from 07/26/2019 and 01/12/2022. LPA observed the facility's Internal Incident Report, dated 10/08/2020, that R1 developed blisters all over their body. In addition, LPA observed during record review that there were no home health records available for R1.

The deficiencies were observed (see LIC809D) and cited from the California Code of Regulation, Title 22. Failure to correct the deficiencies may result in civil penalties.
