32 | The investigation revealed the following:
Allegation: Staff will not allow resident to be re-admitted to facility.
It is alleged that R1 was admitted to the hospital and has been ready for discharge as of 4/29/26, however, facility staff are not allowing R1 re-entry to the facility. LPA interviewed 3 staff and each confirmed that R1 is currently hospitalized due to increased behaviors and is being reassessed at an acute center, the 3 staff expressed the difficulties they have been experiencing providing care to R1 due to their increased behaviors and agitation. During file review LPA did not observe any incident reports documenting these increased behaviors, the only incident report received for R1 is dated 4/28/26 regarding this current hospitalization. LPA reminded Administrator/Licensee of the reporting requirements and that all unusual incidents must be reported to the department within the required time and to review the regulations for reporting requirements within the Title 22 Regulations. LPA interviewed 3 Witnesses and each confirmed that R1 was previously hospitalized at the local hospital but was discharged on 5/4/26 to an acute center. Interview with Administrator/Licensee revealed that R1 had been exhibiting increased behaviors and agitation, therefore, R1 was hospitalized on 4/28/26 to be reassessed, was discharged and admitted to an acute center for further assessment. Administrator stated that R1 has not been issued an eviction notice as they are waiting for the physicians assessment and for R1 to complete the 2 weeks of rehab to see if R1 will be needing a higher level of care or discharged back to the facility, in which Administrator confirmed if R1 is discharged back to the facility they will be allowed re-entry. LPA reminded Administrator/Licensee that if they wish to relocate R1 they would need to follow the procedures outline in Title 22 regulations, if eviction is needed then they must follow the proper eviction procedures that are also outline in the Title 22 regulations. LPA toured R1’s bedroom and belongings were still present in closet. Interview with W3 revealed that R1 is temporarily hospitalized at an acute center and no eviction notice has been given to R1.
Based on statements and interviews conducted with staff/witnesses, review of R1’s files and facility file records, there was not enough supportive evidence to concur with the reported allegation. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. Exit interview held, and a copy of this report was provided. |
