On 11/07/2024, Co-Executive Director Jonathan Barrios and LPA observed the air conditioning unit in room 220 was operational and in good repair.
The Department obtained copies of the following documents: The staff and residents roster, admission agreement, physician's report, medical assessment, medication administration records (MARs), consent forms, replacement appraisal information, identification and emergency information, appraisal needs and service plan, safeguards for property/valuables, special incident report, staff in-service training, ongoing staff training, a video, and photos of room 220 air conditioner unit resident bed, and mattress.
Allegation: Staff did not safeguard the resident’s personal belongings.
Staff members S1–S4 and residents R2–R9 stated that facility staff are safeguarding residents’ personal belongings. S1 and S2 acknowledged that water was dripping from the air conditioning (AC) unit in the resident’s room, located on the right side of the resident’s bed. They stated that the water had soaked the linens and mattress. S1 and S2 also confirmed that the AC unit was repaired, and the resident’s mattress is now dry and undamaged. Resident R1 provided a video and photos as evidence showing water dripping from the AC unit onto the bed, and wetting the linens and mattress. Residents R2–R9 reported that their AC units were in good working condition and did not experience any water leakage. S3 stated that she had no knowledge of the AC unit leaking water. S4 indicated that he was not employed at the facility during the time of the alleged incident and had no knowledge of the matter. During an inspection of R1’s room, the mattress was observed to be dry and in good condition, with no visible need for replacement.
Based on the Department's observations, interviews that were conducted, and records reviewed, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be substantiated. California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6, and Chapter 8 are being cited on the attached LIC9099-D.
Appeal rights were discussed, and copies of the Complaint Investigation Report LIC9099-A, LIC9099-C, and LIC9099-D were provided to Co-Executive Director Jonathan Barrios.
An exit interview was conducted. |
