32 | INVESTIGATION REVEALED THE FOLLOWING:
Allegation #1: Resident sustained multiple fractures while in care.
It is alleged that the facility staff failed to provide adequate supervision for Resident #1 (R1), who sustained multiple fractures while in their care. Reports indicate that (R1) was admitted to the hospital following an unwitnessed fall. Further information revealed that (R1) suffered various traumatic injuries, including pneumocephalus, subdural hematoma, epidural hematoma, and a closed facial fracture, all consistent with a single fall. No additional details regarding this incident are available.
Resident #1 (R1) was admitted to Hayworth Terrace on September 15, 2025, as documented in the facility’s Residential Care Admission Agreement (dated 09/15/25). On November 9, 2025, (R1) was transferred to Cedars-Sinai Hospital for treatment of injuries sustained in a fall.
On January 13, 2026, February 9, 2026, February 12, 2026, February 23, 2026, between 09:40 AM and 02:50 PM, the Department interviewed staff members identified as Staff #1 through Staff #8 (S1-S8). (8) eight out of eight (8) could not corroborate this claim. On November 9, 2026, (R1) experienced a fall incident resulting in head injuries, necessitating treatment at Cedars Sinai Hospital. (S1) reported discovering (R1) lying by the exterior stairway and believed (R1) had fallen down the stairs, though the specifics of the fall—such as the number of steps—remain unclear. (S1) emphasized that (R1) requires constant supervision since (R1) frequently moves around the facility. Notably, (4) out of (8) staff members corroborated that (R1) has a history of unwitnessed falls, typically resulting in minor injuries. All staff members interviewed agreed that (R1) suffers from Major Neurocognitive Disorder (NCD) and is physically fragile. Additionally, (S7) confirmed that (R1) lacked a Physician's Report LIC 602A, or any formal medical assessment, as (R1) was categorized as a "temporary" resident.
On January 13, 2026, between 10:15 AM and 12:15 PM, the Department interviewed resident members identified as Resident #2 through Resident #4 (R2-R4). Three (3) out of three (3) could not support this claim. All residents expressed they had no concerns about the level of care and supervision provided by staff. Resident #1 (R1) was unavailable for interview due to death.
On November 26, 2025, and February 23, 2026, between 09:36 AM and 03:31 PM, the Department interviewed witness members identified as Witness #1 and Witness #2 (W1-W2).
