According to page 1 of R1 Admission Agreement letter number (3) letter B number 5, 3 meals a day with doctor recommended dietary restrictions are included. "Special diets if prescribed by doctor". However, according to facility staff witness statements, R1 was not responding to eating and S1 did not seek a higher level of care. According to number 9 page 2 of R1 Admission Agreement, facility agreed to provide assistance with eating as part of the services the facility was to provide. Based on LPA review of facility files, facility Appraisal and Service plan demonstrates that R1 will need assistance with Acts of Daily Living (ADL) which includes eating. According to witness statements, interviews, medical and file reviews, facility did not provide services regarding eating as contractually agreed. Therefore, the allegation Staff did not ensure that resident was adequately fed while in care is Substantiated.
Based on observations and interviews which were conducted  the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED.  California Code of Regulations (Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8), are being cited on the attached LIC 9099D.
Civil Penalties may be assessed at a later date.
