25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Linda Almaraz conducted a case management for the above facility to obtain additional information regarding an incident that occurred on 10/26/20 with Resident #1 and Staff #1. Due to the situation surrounding the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), and to implement mitigation measures, today’s visit was conducted telephonically with Administrator, Nicole Vasquez.
During the visit LPA interviewed Administrator, Nicole Vasquez, Staff #2-3 and attempted to interview Staff #4-6 but was unsuccessful due to them working nights. LPA also attempted to interview Resident #1 but was unsuccessful due to the resident not being verbal.
Per Administrator, on 10/26/20 at about 8:30AM she was informed by Staff #3 that an incident had occurred between Staff #1 and Resident #1. During the incident Staff #1 and #4 were working the floor but both failed to report the incident. Administrator stated when she was notified about the incident she went to check on Resident #1 and noticed a bruise to the left cheek with 3 finger prints, a large red marking to the right cheek and a swollen top right lip on the resident. As a result, Staff #1 has been suspended pending investigation and Staff #4 was given a final written notice regarding not reporting the incident. The Resident was checked by the Nurse Practitioner from Care More Medical Group and received a facial x-ray that same day.
LPA requested the following documents: Staff and Resident Roster, Resident #1's complete file, any Incident Reports within the last 6 months for the Resident, written statements from Staff #1, #4 and #5, and final written statement given to Staff #4 for not reporting.
No deficiencies cited during todays visit. A telephonic exit interview was conducted with the Administrator and a hard copy was provided via email for signature. |
