32 | The complaint states that resident #1 (R1) was taken to hospital number two (#2), after being discharged from hospital number one (#1), and the facility informed R1 that R1 could not return because they were unwell. On 07/06/25, LPA Richard interviewed the Executive Director, who denied the allegation and stated that the resident is still in the hospital, and the hospital staff does not know when the resident will be discharged from #2. On the same day, LPA Richard interviewed five residents (R2-R6), all of whom denied ever receiving an eviction notice. LPA Richard also spoke with three staff members, all of whom denied the allegation and stated that they were not aware of any illegal eviction taking place at the facility. Additionally, LPA Richard interviewed a staff member from Sherman Oaks Hospital (W1), who confirmed that the facility had not issued any eviction notice to R1 or R1's responsible party because the resident is still hospitalized. W1 stated that the agency is currently seeking a new facility for R1, as R1 requires a higher level of care.
As of 07/06/25, the resident remains hospitalized in Sherman Oaks Hospital after being transferred from Huntington Hospital, and it is unclear when R1 will be released. The LPA also reviewed records of an Unusual Incident/Injury Report dated 05/23/25, which indicated that the resident was transferred to Huntington Hospital and remained hospitalized. On 06/06/25, LPA conducted record reviews, which did not indicate that the Department of Social Services received any documentation from the facility regarding an eviction notice for the resident.
Regarding the allegation, “Illegal Eviction,” based on interviews and observations, the Department found no evidence to support the allegation mentioned above. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation(s) did or did not occur; therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated.
No deficiencies were cited.
An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of this report was provided to the Executive Director, Mendy Ginsburg.
