32 | Per the allegation, ‘Staff admitted resident without completing an individual written admission agreement with resident or the resident's representative’, it is the complainant’s concern that the facility never informed R1’s responsible parties of the restrictions for caring for R1, and R1 was thrown out within one day of being admitted. To investigate the allegation, the LPA interviewed the complainant. Per the complainant’s statement, the responsible parties for R1 contacted the facility staff to have R1 admitted to facility for a short period of time (approximately six days). The Administrator stated to the responsible parties that they would stop by the house of the responsible parties to drop off an admission agreement, prior to R1 being admitted to the facility; however, facility staff never showed up prior to 3/8/2023. On 3/8/2023, R1 was picked up from the responsible parties’ home by a van service and took R1 to the facility and drop them off at approximately at 12:00 p.m. On the evening of 3/08/2023 the facility staff contacted the responsible parties to have R1 picked up from the facility because R1 could not be cared at the facility. Per the complainant, the responsible parties were on a plane and could not continue communicating with the facility staff due to connectivity issues. The facility staff then contacted the additional responsible parties on 03/09/2023 at approximately 12:00 AM to have R1 picked up from the facility, because R1 was being loud, and staff could not take care of them. Complainant stated that the responsible parties for R1 had made a payment by check to the facility staff for $1,200 dollars for R1’s care and supervision at the facility for a period of six days at $200 dollars per day. The facility staff charged them $200 dollars for one day and refunded the responsible parties $1000 dollars with a personal check. Additionally, the complainant stated that the facility staff contacted the responsible parties’ days (did not say how many days), after R1 had been picked up from the facility to ask them to complete the Admission Agreement. The complainant stated that the responsible parties never filled out the paperwork and only communicated with the facility staff via text. The LPA interviewed the administrator, and the interview revealed that they admitted R1 in the facility for one day. The Administrator stated that they did not have a for for the R1, therefore an Admission Agreement was not created for R1.
Based on the information obtained through interviews and record review, there is sufficient evidence to support the allegation that facility staff admitted the resident without completing an admission agreement with resident or the resident's representative. Therefore, the allegation is deemed Substantiated at this time.
Pursuant to Title 22 Division 6 Chapter 8 of the CA Code of Regulations, the following deficiencies were cited (please refer to LIC 9099-D).
Exit interview conducted with the administrator, A copy of the report and Appeal Rights were issued.
