The department requested copies of the physician's report, medical records, admission agreement, identification and emergency information, medication log, Medication Administration Records (MARs), medical assessment, consent forms, the release of resident medical information, unusual incident reports, appraisal/needs and services plan, UCLA Harbor Medical admission and discharge records, and medical records, Norwalk State Hospital records, and Inglewood Police Department (IPD) police report.

Allegation: Neglect/Lack of Care and Supervision. S1-S2 interviewed stated that R1 was physically assaulted by R2 while sleeping in his bed. R1 sustained two stab wounds, one to the chest and another to his right pinky finger. After running across the street for help, R1 was stabbed again by R2 under his upper left armpit. Residents R3 through R6 interviewed stated they did not witness the stabbing incident. S1-S2 stated that R1 was later medically cleared from the hospital and discharged back to the facility. S1, Licensee Mrs. Brinson, stated that R2 was arrested and did not receive an eviction notice from the facility. Both R1 and R1's Public Guardian agreed with the decision to return R1 to the facility and were fully informed of the incident.
Investigation revealed the following: Staff members S1 and S2, as well as residents R1 and R3 through R6, were interviewed. S1 and S2 stated that R1 was physically assaulted by R2 while R1 was sleeping, sustaining injuries to his chest and right pinky finger. According to findings from the department, it was noted that surveillance footage captured R2 stabbing R1 in the armpit and then running across the street for help. It was determined that the facility staff failed to provide adequate care and supervision to the residents. S1 and S2 stated they immediately contacted 911, the paramedics, and the Inglewood Police Department, who all arrived at the facility. R1 was treated by paramedics on the curb before being transported to Harbor UCLA Medical Center on August 31, 2023, for further evaluation. R1 was discharged on September 1, 2023, after being medically cleared and returned to the facility and S2 reported that R2 was arrested by Inglewood police officers. S1-S2 stated that R2 did not receive an eviction notice while in care and was not evicted from the facility. S1-S2 stated the unusual incident was reported to Community Care Licensing and the appropriate agencies in a timely manner. S1-S2 emphasized that their staff is a dedicated, trained, and competent team, committed to providing the necessary care and supervision to ensure the safety of all residents. Residents R3 through R6 stated they did not witness the stabbing incident but were aware of it. S1-S2 agreed that the stabbing incident did occur.

S1 and S2 reported that S2 was at the facility when R1 ran across the street to seek help. S1, S2, R1, and R3 through R6 stated that staff is always present when residents are at the facility. S1, S2, R1, and R3 through R6 stated they were unaware of where R2 obtained the knife. During the visit, the department observed that the facility’s knives were secured in a locked cabinet within the office. S1 and S2 explained that R1 began running from the facility because R1 was afraid. They also stated they did not know why R1 did not approach the on-duty staff for assistance. According to S1 and S2, the hospital states that R1 sustained minor stab wounds and returned to the facility after receiving medical treatment.

Based on the department observations, interviews that were conducted, and records reviewed, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be substantiated.

California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6, and Chapter 1 are being cited on the attached LIC9099-D. Appeal Rights were discussed, and copies of the Complaint Investigation Report LIC9099, LIC9099-C, and LIC9099-D were provided to staff member Jerry Brinson.
