Case Management-Deficiencies findings:
Resident#1 (R1) was admitted into the facility on 2/3/2023 and has an admission agreement dated 2/3/2023. LPA Ramirez discovered R1 and facility representative signed a document indicating the following “R1 has agreed to stay in this community here at Santa Anita Assisted Living under the following conditions: Stays in the building every day without leaving overnight. (Building closes at 10pm). Pay rent every single month on the 5th, starting June 5th, 2024, with no missed payment. If these conditions are not followed and being done, resident has agrees to leave facility and discharge themselves.” This document is dated 5/31/2024. Review of R1’s Physician Report (LIC 602) dated 3/4/2024, indicates R1 may leave the facility unassisted. R1 is self-responsible and is not conserved. Per Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8- 87468.2 Additional Personal Rights of Residents in Privately Operated Facilities- (a) In addition to the rights listed in Section 87468.1, Personal Rights of Residents in All Facilities, residents in privately operated residential care facilities for the elderly shall have all of the following personal rights: (3) To be encouraged and assisted in exercising their rights as citizens and as residents of the facility. Residents shall be free from interference, coercion, discrimination, and retaliation in exercising their rights.
Interview with R1 revealed R1 left the facility on 6/7/24. On 6/10/24, Administartor Mnoyan phoned R1 to advise R1. they broke their agreement signed on 5/31/24 and could not return to the facility. As of 6/14/2024, R1 has not returned to the facility. LPA Ramirez and Administrator Mnoyan phoned R1 and R1 was told they may return to the facility. R1 agreed to phone the facility to get transportation arrangements. Facility staff violated R1’s personal rights by asking R1 to sign above referenced document; which violates R1's right to leave the facility freely, interfere and retaliate against R1 for exercising their rights.
One deficiency was cited during this visit. A copy of this report, 809-D and appeals rights was provided. |
