25 | On 09/20/2023 at 09:00 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) J. Sampair arrived unannounced for a Case Management visit concerning death of Resident R1 on 09/14/2023. The LPA stated the purpose of the visit to Wellness Nurse Julie Monterrosa, LVN.
LPA Sampair interviewed Nurse Monterrosa and Regional Operations Specialist (ROS) Eugenia Smith about the circumstances of R1's death. They explained that R1 returned to the facility on 09/14/2023 from Kaiser Hospital in Walnut Creek. This was after his 09/04/2023 emergency surgery for a fracture of his right femur at Kaiser Hospital in Walnut Creek. Upon R1's return on 09/14/2023, Hospice East Bay was there to return R1 to hospice care. R1, however, was experiencing a high level of pain that required skilled nursing care, so with the family's permission, R1 was transferred by Hospice East Bay to their hospice house, Brun's House, in Alamo for the skilled nursing care that he needed. On 09/15/2023, the family notified the facility that R1 was pronounced dead from Vascular Dementia at 6:48 PM on 09/14/2023 at Brun's House.
After the interview, the LPA reviewed the process and the proper form to use, the LIC624A, to report a death with the ROS and Nurse Monterrosa.
No citations issued during the visit.
