25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Talwinder Bains arrived at the facility unannounced on 03/12/24 to conduct a case management to follow up on a recent AWOL at the facility. LPA met with facility Administrator Sheri Kimbro and explained the purpose of the visit.
The facility submitted a completed Unusual Incident/Injury Report (LIC624) on/around 03/05/24 regarding resident (R1) leaving the facility unattended on 03/04/24, at approximately 2:45 pm. R1 was found by staff who worked at another licensed facility down the street around 3pm and brought back to the facility uninjured by staff. IR stated that R1 was coming back to the memory care unit around 2:45pm after attending an activity in the assisted living unit in the facility and got AWOL as facility staff did not assist R1 safely back to memory care unit and did not do the head count of all residents properly. Facility notified CCLD, R1s physician, responsible party regarding this incident on 03/05/24 as required.
R1's physician's report, dated 07/25/23, indicates that resident has diagnosis of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)/Dementia and cannot leave the facility unassisted. Although no injuries resulted from R1’s AWOL, R1 was unable to leave the facility unassisted. Facility staff did not provide care and supervision to R1 resulting in R1 leaving the facility unassisted therefore violations are cited today per California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8. Deficiencies issued are noted on the LIC809D.
Exit interview conducted. Copy of report and appeal rights provided to administrator.
