25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Cynthia Chan conducted a case management visit due to the inconsistencies found on documents during a complaint investigation. LPA met with Administrator, Jina Maleksarkissians, and explained the purpose of the visit.
LPA obtained documents pertaining to Resident #1 (R-1) during a complaint investigation control #28-AS-20211230090256. It was noted that R-1 was diagnosed with Alzheimer which was the reason for the one-on-one companion charge and discharge from the facility that took place in July to August of 2021. After review of documents, there was only one physician’s note dated on 7/29/21 which indicated “MMS 17/30 Alzheimer’s DZ”. The facility nurse also conducted a BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Staus) test on 7/29/21 in which R-1 scored a 9. The August 2021 Medication Administration Record only mentioned mild cognitive impairment as one of the medical conditions. Facility progress notes did not indicate any observation of memory impairment for R-1. LPA confirmed with current Administrator Maleksarkissians there were no follow up Personal Care Plan nor Physician’s Report to confirm the diagnosis that was noted on 7/29/21. The family members also confirmed that R-1 is not diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.
Based on record review and interview, it is determined that the facility did not properly reappraise the resident. A deficiency is being cited on the LIC809D, in accordance to the California Code of Regulations, (Title 22, Division 6 and Chapter 8).
An exit interview was conducted. A copy of this report, appeal rights, and Plan of Corrections were provided to the Administrator. |
