13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jessica Cho made an unannounced complaint visit for the purpose to investigate into the above allegation. LPA was greeted by Caregivers Nelson Resoso and Rio Valencia and was granted entry after stating the purpose of the visit. At 11:42am, LPA spoke to Administrator (Admin) Karmian Calangi by telephone. During the course of the investigation, LPA met with Resident 1 (R1), interviewed Staff 1 (S1), and Admin Calangi, and copies of records were obtained pertinent to R1. The following was determined:
It was alleged that facility retained a resident with a prohibited health condition. On March 28, 2023, approximately 12:00pm, LPA met with R1 alongside S1 and observed a Gastrostomy feeding tube on R1's abdomen. Per review of records, R1 is not on hospice and is under the care of a home health agency. Per Title 22, 87616 Exceptions for Health Conditions, facility did not submit a written exception request to retain a resident with a prohibited health condition, therefore the preponderance has been met. |
