32 | The investigation revealed the following: regarding the allegation “Staff did not ensure resident's room was not in disrepair.” It is alleged that staff did not repair a leak in R1’s bathroom sink for eight (8) days. Five (5) out of six (6) residents interviewed corroborated this allegation. Resident interviews revealed that on or around 05/07/2026, R1’s bathroom sink began to leak. Staff was alerted about the leak and staff#4 (S4) attempted to repair the leak, however, when S4 turned the water back on, the pipe busted water all over R1’s bathroom floor and into the facility hallway floor. During resident interviews, LPA observed and obtained video evidence that documented on at least five (5) days from 05/09/2026 through 05/14/2026, R1’s bathroom sink was in disrepair, and water was observed throughout the bathroom floor on 05/14/2026. Five (5) out of the five (5) staff interviewed denied this allegation. Interview with S4 revealed that R1’s bathroom sink was leaking on 05/14/2026 and was repaired the same day later in the evening. S4 revealed that R1’s bathroom sink leak never leaked onto R1’s bathroom floor or in the facility hallway. S4 revealed that R1’s bathroom sink was in disrepair for one (1) day only and was repaired by a plumbing company. Interview with witness#1 (W1) revealed they were the plumbing company that was dispatched to fix the leak in R1’s room and other plumbing issues on 05/14/2026. W1 revealed that service notes indicated water was observed in R1’s bathroom floor. During record review, LPA observed facility maintenance report for May 2026. This log recorded one entry; which indicated on 05/14/2026 R1’s sink needed a repair.
Based on LPAs observations and interviews, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegations are found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6 and Chapter 8 are cited on the attached LIC 9099D.
