25 | This Case Management Visit was conducted to address the issues discussed during the Annual Inspection. On 07/05/2024, the Woodland Hills Regional Office received information that the facility is implementing a new program called "Assisted Living +" . The residents requiring minimal care will be relocated from the Independent Living 3rd floor to the 2nd floor. Facility Executive Director (ED) Varsenik Keshishyan informed LPA Valenzuela that they already are implementing a new program and one of the residents, Resident #1 (R1) who was residing on the 3d floor recently moved to the 2nd floor.
LPA Valenzuela contacted LPM Margaryan over the phone to discuss the recent changes within the facility structure and program plan. During the conference call between LPM Margaryan, (ED) Keshishyan, and LPA Valenzuela, LPM explained that while implementing the new procedures, ED should consider the resident personal rights to ensure that residents are in agreement to change their apartment units, due to the fact that minimal staff assistance could be provided to the residents in their existing units.
ED informed LPM and LPA that R1's relocation was initiated based con R1's Power of Attorney (POA's) decision.
LPM advised ED that POA does not reflect resident's' personal rights. If resident does not want to move from the independent living section to the Assisted Living+ section, then the facility should adhere to the residents wishes and allow them to stay in the apartment units that they originally choose.
ED stated that she will discuss the recent relocation with R1 and if R1 wishes to move back to their previous room, then they will move R1 back to their previous room. LPA Valenzuela also advised the ED that it looks like they made changes in the facility program plan. The implementation of the new procedures must be submitted as an Addendum to the program plan to the Woodland Hills Regional Office so that it can be reviewed and updated to the facility file.
