25 | On 02/15/24, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kimberly Viarella, made an unannounced visit to this facility to conduct a case management visit. The LPA identified herself upon arrival, stated the purpose of the visit, and asked to meet with the Designated Facility Administrator (DFA). LPA met with the Ashley Sylve to discuss the incident that took place on 2/13/24 between R1 and R2. Although there were no witnesses to the altercation, R1 admitted to punching R2 in the face. A staff member (S1) stated that S1 heard shouting and banging and when S1 looked down the end of the hall, R2 was exiting R2's room and coming down the hall with blood on R2's head and face. This LPA learned through interviews that R2 was immediately provided first aid by the MedTech on duty and other staff redirected R1 into the now empty room. In the LIC 624 that was sent to Community Care Licensing on 2/13/24, R1 was upset because R2 had locked R1 out of the room they shared.
According to file reviews for both residents, both have had episodes of aggression in the past and should not have been paired as roommates. This LPA spoke to both the Memory Care Director and the Assistant Resident Director during a visit on 12/20/23 alerting them to her concerns regarding pairing these two residents as roommates. During the review of records, this LPA learned that R2 had not had a re-appraisal done for R2's change in condition when R2 was moved from the Assisted Living to Memory Care.
This LPA also learned through a records review and interviews that the facility did not document or address other incidents that occurred between these 2 residents that indicated that they were not an appropriate match as roommates. The facility did not provide the necessary care and supervision due to these two residents. According to the California Code of Regulations, Title 22, citations may be found on the LIC 809D page. Due to time constraints, this LPA will be returning at a later date to continue this case management and additional citations may be given at that time. |
