25 | Licensing Program Analyst(s) (LPA) Victoria Brown and Jamie Ivey Canady arrived unannounced to conduct a Case Management visit on 1/12/22 at 9am. LPAs was met by Christina Luna Garcia, Administrator and Brian Pawloski, Vice President and stated the purpose of the visit. The purpose of the visit is to review additional items that were observed during the complaint investigation on 12/3/21. LPAs requested a copy of the physician report for resident #1 (R1).
During the course of the investigation, LPA observed that R1 was sent out to the hospital to pick up insulin by way of an Uber. R1 was also brought back to the facility by an Uber with a different type of insulin which was in vial form not the usual pen form. It was revealed that initially the resident was sent to the wrong VA hospital to pick up the medication. R1 informed the driver that they were going the wrong way and the Uber driver took R1 to the correct address.
On 11/23/21, the previous administrator Donna Bautista-Colmenares stated that R1 was sent out for an appointment and to pick up the insulin. A review of the physician report dated 6/18/2021 revealed that R1 was deemed not able to leave the facility unassisted.
Based on interviews, and documentation the preponderance of evidence standards has been met. R1 was sent out to pick up medication without supervision.
Per California Code of Regulations (CCRs) - Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8, the following deficiencies are being cited on the attached 809D during this visit. If any of the cited deficiencies are not corrected by the noted due dates; civil penalties may be assessed. The Administrator was provided a copy of their rights (LIC9058) and their signature on this form acknowledges receipt of these rights. An exit interview was conducted, a copy of the report was given. |
