25 | This unannounced inspection is being conducted by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Sean Haddad for the purpose of issuing citations for deficiencies observed during the investigation into Complaint Control No. 22-NP-20211007132630. LPA met with Administrator (AD) Hyo Sook Kim and explained the reason for today’s inspection.
During the course of the investigation, LPA inspected the facility, interviewed residents, witnesses, and staff, and requested and reviewed copies of the resident roster, staff roster, Resident #1’s (R1) resident file, R1’s Identification and Emergency Information (LIC 601) dated 01/13/20, and R1’s St. Montserrat Hospice Care, Inc. Records dated beginning 01/28/21.
Per interviews with AD Kim, AD Kim stated that they tried to reach R1’s responsible party over 20 times via telephone but the calls were not answered or returned, so they believed R1 had no responsible party. AD Kim stated that prior to AD Kim connecting with R1’s responsible party, R1’s mail had been going to R1’s prior facility, Welcome Christian Home, which was closed, so R1 was not receiving their mail. AD Kim stated that they wanted to become R1’s conservator because they believed R1 had no family, so AD Kim started forwarding R1’s mail to AD Kim’s personal home, including Bank of Hope and Social Security mailings. Per interviews with AD Kim, AD Kim could not provide a reason why AD Kim forwarded the mail to AD Kim’s home instead of the facility. AD Kim stated that after contact was made with R1’s responsible party, AD Kim began forwarding R1’s mail to the facility and turned over all records to R1’s responsible party.
Based on the interviews conducted and records reviewed during the investigation, violations are being cited per Title 22 Division 6 of the California Code of Regulations. See LIC809D. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report and appeal rights was discussed with and provided to facility representative. |
