Due to Covid-19 pre-cautionary measures LPA Joseph Alejandre contacted the facility via telephone to conduct the visit. LPA identified himself and discussed the purpose of the call with Administrator (AD) Tonya Reynolds. On May 06, 2020, a complaint (#22-AS-20200506084825) was received by the Orange County Adult and Senior Care Program regarding the allegation that Facility did not protect resident from financial abuse. The complaint was investigated by the Department. During this investigation, interviews were conducted with staff, witnesses and records were obtained and reviewed. The investigation uncovered other issues concerning the facility that were not part of the complaint allegation. The investigation revealed that Staff 1 (S1) was not associated to the facility. The facility did not complete a background transfer request for S1. The facility did not provide basic services to Resident 1 (R1) as described in their plan of operation. R1 was removed from the facility by S1 and R1 was not properly signed in and out, the facility was unaware of R1 leaving the facility in this manner until the complaint was filed. Once the complaint had been filed the facility did not use their theft and loss policy as required by the Health and Safety Code and investigate the possible theft reported by R1's family and did not report the incident to law enforcement. The complaint investigation revealed that even though the administrator is responsible for the facility, the administrator did not run the facility in accordance with these regulations and established policy, program and budget. Based on the information revealed during the complaint investigation, the following deficiencies are being cited per Title 22 Division 6 of the California Code of Regulations and the Health and Safety Code. An exit interview was conducted with the Administrator and a copy of this report was provided via email along with appeal rights. Administrator Tonya Reynolds agreed to review, sign and return the report. Electronic email receipt confirms receipt of all documents. The report will be kept in the facility file. |
