13 | On 09/11/2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Chinwe Nwogene conducted an office visit with James Reed at the Riverside Adult and Senior Care Regional Office, to deliver findings to the allegation mentioned above. During the investigation, Staff, Resident’s sister and Kaiser Medical Social Worker were interviewed.
Regarding the allegation “Staff does not provide a safe environment for resident”, it was alleged that that licensee had verbal argument with resident and threw mail at resident. Licensee was interviewed who denied had verbal argument with resident and threw mail at resident. Licensee stated resident was being aggressive to caregivers, 911 was called and resident was taken to hospital. Licensee stated resident never returned to the facility after being taken to hospital. LPA couldn’t locate resident for an interview. Kaiser Medical Social Worker was interviewed who reported resident was brought in for a psych hold and was later discharged to another room and board. Kaiser Medical social worker further reported resident passed away in 12/2021. Resident’s sister was interviewed who reported resident passed away years ago. LPA was unable to interview resident to determine if Licensee has verbal argument with resident and threw mail at resident.
Based on interviews with staff, Resident’s sister and Kaiser Medical Social Worker, there is not enough evidence to support the above allegation. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated at this time. An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of this report was reviewed with and provided to James Reed. |
