13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Rosaura Valenzuela conducted an unannounced visit for the above noted allegation. LPA met with DSP II Juan Guzman and explained the reason for the visit.
It was reported that a resident sustained a suspicious injury while in care. It was alleged that Resident #1 (R1)'s left ear was partially detached from the top. To investigate this allegation on 4/17/2024 between 12:00pm and 12:45pm, staff interviews were initiated. Interviews revealed that R1's left ear was not partially detached, but rather an ulcer like blister developed from using a surgical face mask. R1 was pulling on the face mask constantly and due to skin sensitivity developed an ulcer. Between 1:00pm and 1:30pm, facility files were reviewed. Records confirmed what staff told LPA.
Based on interviews and records review, there is not sufficient information to support this allegation. Therefore, this allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED at this time.
