32 | At 9:30 a.m., the LPA conducted a File Review for seven (7) out of seven (7) resident files. Upon requesting resident files for Resident #1 (R1), and Resident #2 (R2); S1 advised the LPA that “there are no files” for R1 or R2 due to the residents being recently admitted. The LPA contacted the Administrator via telephone to inquire about R1 and R2’s resident files. The administrator confirmed that the facility does not have any files for R1 and R2. The LPA asked the Administrator for R1 and R2’s first name, last name, and date of births. However, the Administrator only had knowledge of R1’s first name, and stated that R1’s family member only “asked if [the facility] can care for [R1] a couple of days.” The Administrator did not have information on R1’s last name, or date of birth. Additionally, the Administrator did not know R2’s first name, last name, or date of birth. The Administrator then stated that the facility has “seven days upon admitting a resident to the facility, to get the resident’s physicians report and files ready.” The LPA advised the Administrator that was incorrect, and Title 22 requirements indicate that the licensee shall ensure that a separate, complete, and current record is maintained for each resident in the facility or in a central administrative location readily available to facility staff and to licensing agency staff. Prior to admission a determination of the prospective resident's suitability for admission shall be completed and shall include an appraisal of their individual service needs in comparison with the admission criteria specified in Section 87455, Acceptance and Retention Limitations. Record Review also revealed that Resident #3 (R3)’s file did not medical assessment/ physicians report in their file. The LPA advised the Administrator that prior to a person's acceptance as a resident, the licensee shall obtain and keep on file, documentation of a medical assessment, signed by a physician, made
within the last year.
At 9:44 a.m., the LPA requested Resident #4 (R4), and Resident #5 (R5)’s resident files from S1. S1 advised there were no files in the facility for R4, and R5. The LPA contacted the Administrator via telephone once more to inquire where the resident files where for R4, and R5. The LPA advised the Administrator that original records or photographic reproductions shall be retained for a minimum of three (3) years following termination of service to the resident. The administrator stated they “[kept] the copies, but it is not in the Facility;” and that the resident files were in their possession.
Pursuant to Title 22 of the CA Code of Regulations, the following deficiencies were cited (refer to LIC 809-D). Failure to correct the deficiencies may result in civil penalties. Exit interview conducted. A copy of the report, and appeal rights were provided. |
