Services” the facility states that “If the resident is unable to provide Resident’s own furniture or if the resident chooses not to provide it, the Community will ensure that the resident is provided with the basic furniture.” This did not happen. The facility did not provide Resident #1 with a bed and dresser as stated in the Admission Agreement and delayed the resident’s move-in date to 9/29/23. Per the initial interview conducted with Executive Director on 5/22/24, LPA Yee was specifically told that they had beds and lamps that the family can rent or loan. In the subsequent interview conducted on 6/19/25, the Executive Director denies that she told the family that they had to buy a bed and a dresser. Based on the interviews conducted with staff, there is confusion as to who provides the required Title 22 furniture. Staff all indicated that the resident's families provide the required furniture. Per the information received during the investigation, there is sufficient evidence to support the allegation that the facility did not provide resident with a bed and a dresser, therefore the allegation is deemed substantiated at this time.
The investigation into allegation #2 - Facility did not provide resident with hygiene products, revealed that the facility does not provide hygiene products to the residents on an ongoing basis. Per interviews conducted with staff, Residents’ families are required to bring in hygiene products such as body soap, shampoo, lotions, toothbrushes and toothpaste for the residents’ use. When the hygiene products run low, the manager contacts the family to replenish the hygiene products. Per staff, the facility will provide temporary hygiene products for residents’ use if they have extras or until the family is able to bring the hygiene products. Per review of the Admission Agreement under #2 “Fees” letter e) Personal Supplies: The Community assumes that the resident will provide their own supplies for personal care and hygiene. The Admission Agreement does not make provisions to ensure that residents who are unable or choose not to provide their own hygiene products, with hygiene items of general use such as soap and toilet paper. Based on the information obtained during the investigation, there is sufficient evidence to support the allegation that the facility does not provide residents with hygiene products, therefore the allegation is deemed substantiated at this time.
Deficiencies are cited under California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8.
