32 | Per residents’ interviews, all six (6) residents could not corroborate the allegation. It revealed residents were not aware of any evictions taking place at the facility or any missing ALW payments on their paying their rents. All three (3) staff interviewed denied the allegation. Staff interviews revealed that, a few weeks ago, staff attempted to file claims to get ALW to pay the resident’s non-pay rent for August 2024 to Oct 2024, but ALW denied all claims due to resident's insurance change and the insurance company was not approved by ALW program. Per record review, staff reported resident’s non-pay monthly rent from Aug 2024 to Oct 2024 were on private room rates. Per ALW waiver record, the resident was admitted to ALW since Sept 1, 2024. Therefore, the facility should charge resident’s room with ALW rate for the month of Sept and Oct 2024; however, the facility charged the resident with private room rate plus medical management fee on Oct 2024 rent.
Based on LPA's observations, record reviews and interviews conducted the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found SUBSTANTIATED.
Deficiencies are being cited according to California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8 on LIC 9099D.
An exit interview was conducted with Lucy, administrator assistant. A hard copy of this reports and appeal right were provided. |
