An interview conducted with Staff #3 (S3) reports that they do not recall emergency services being contacted. S3 stated that due to R1 receiving hospice care services, Yorkshire staff were instructed by Yorkshire management to contact the hospice provider if any incidents occur with a resident. Additional interviews conducted with S1 and Staff #2 (S2) confirmed that staff are instructed to contact the hospice provider if the resident is receiving hospice services as was alleged through past experience, emergency personnel have informed Yorkshire staff that the emergency services need prior approval to assist residents who are receiving hospice services. An interview was attempted with Staff #4 (S4) but was unsuccessful as S4 did not recall details of the incident dating on 5/27/2026. Interviews with (3) three of (4) four staff report R1 was not transported to the hospital as a result of R1’s injuries. LPA attempted (2) two additional staff interviews for staff that were reportedly present to the incident. LPA Flores concluded the interview attempts as the attempts were unsuccessful. An interview conducted with Relevant Party #1 (RP1) reports that they received a telephone call informing them that R1 experienced a fall and was requiring an evaluation. RP1 reports that the call was received at approximately 10AM on 5/27/2026 and RP1 did not arrive at the facility until approximately 1PM. RP1 explained that they have prior experience working at a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly and believed that the facility should have contacted emergency services regardless if R1 was receiving hospice care services. RP1 described the hematoma on the back of R1’s head to be the size of a golf ball and explained that an injury of that size at R1’s age can come with underlying issues that would require emergency services. A records request was submitted to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection for the incident dating on 5/27/2026. LPA Flores was informed that there are no records matching the R1’s name for that date.
Therefore, the allegation of staff did not seek medical attention for resident’s injury is deemed substantiated. A finding that the complaint is SUBSTANTIATED means that the allegation is valid as the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met. Health and Safety Code is being cited on the attached LIC9099D.
An exit interview was conducted and a copy of the LIC9099, LIC9099C, LIC9099D, and appeal rights were provided to Medication Technician Manager Bianey Sandoval. |
