Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Sabrina Calzada arrived unannounced to deliver complaint findings and to issue related deficiencies found during the course of the complaint investigation. LPA met with Bill Phelps, Interim Executive Director/Regional General Manager, and explained purpose of visit. LPA was wearing an N95 mask and was cleared per department protocol prior to arriving at the facility. LPA was also screened per Covid-19 precautionary measures upon entering the community.

During the course of complaint investigation 27-AS-20200724144637, the following deficiencies were noted and are being issued on this report, as follows:

Resident (R1) resided in Assisted Living with a diagnosis of Dementia and had a motion sensor in resident's room. The investigation determined that there was not sufficient staffing during the NOC shift on 7/17/2020- 7/18/2020 as no staff responded to the motion sensor alert for resident (R1) and did not observe resident (R1) to be ambulating in the hallway in her wheelchair prior to falling down the stairs, The staff member who was working on the assisted living during the NOC shift stated she was doing her rounds when resident fell.

The Administrator at the time did not ensure that resident's (R1) care plan was updated to reflect the services needed when staff observed changes to resident's mental status as she was wandering more and became more confused after the Covid-19 pandemic lock-down started. Staff interviews conducted indicated that resident was especially confused and showed increased agitation starting on/around July 2020.

In July 2020 when the complaint investigation was started, resident's (R1) most current physician report on file was dated 5/15/2019 and resident's most current care plan on file was dated 4/15/2020 and were not updated within the last 12 months.

Per California Code of Regulations Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8, the following (3) deficiencies are being cited on the 809D pages.

Exit interview. Copy of report and appeal rights provided to facility.
