Allegation: Facility did not administer medication to resident.

During the course of the investigation for the above allegation, the department conducted interviews and record reviews. LPA interviewed staff and residents in care and learned that R1 had medication orders for insulin injections twice daily (one in morning for breakfast and one before dinner). Based on Title 22, 87629(a), the licensee shall be permitted to accept or retain a resident who requires intramuscular, subcutaneous, or intradermal injections if the injections are administered by the resident or by an appropriately skilled professional. Based on records review and staff interviews, R1 was unable to perform their own insulin injections therefore the injections need to be provided by an appropriate skilled professional. Based on facility staffing records, the facility has a skilled medical professional on duty who can perform injections based on their scope of practice. From record reviews and staff interviews, it has been concluded that on 4/22/23, 5/19/23, and 5/28/23, the facility skilled medical professional was not working at the facility therefore R1 did not received their insulin injection based on medication orders. Based on this information, LPA finds allegation to be Substantiated - A finding that the complaint is Substantiated means that the allegation is valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met. The deficiencies are cited on 9099-D, per Title 22 Regulations, Division 6.

Exit interview with administrator. Appeals rights provided. Copy of the report provided to facility.

Allegation: Facility staff are not properly trained.

The department conducted staff and residents' interviews, reviewed records to investigate the allegation. Based on interviews with staff, staff indicated that training was conducted at the time of hire and on a continuous basis per department regulations. The department reviewed staff training records and observed that training requirements were met. Staff interviews indicated that staff have required mandated training upon hire and on a continuous basis per facility needs and requirement. Records reviewed indicated that the facility kept proper record of all staff training for all staff without any issues. Though training requirements are met, meaning classes were taken; the department cannot determine if all staff understood the training and applied it appropriately. Based on this information, this allegation is UNSUBSTANIATED.

Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred, and the findings are unsubstantiated.

Exit interview with administrator. Copy of the report provided to facility.
