25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Michelle Echeverria conducted an unannounced visit to the facility to conduct a case management visit and follow up on an adult client death. LPA met with Administrator, Darleene Simpson Boyce who was informed of the purpose of the visit.
This case management visit consisted of collecting pertinent documentation and conducting staff interview regarding the death of Client #1(C1).
Boyce stated that C1's sibling informed her that an autopsy is pending and could take up to 12 weeks, yet the emergency room reported that the cause of death was due to serotonin syndrome. At the moment there is no official death certificate. Boyce also stated that C1 had a pulse when the paramedics took C1 to the emergency room. LPA has advised the administrator to send a copy of the death certificate to Community Care Licensing (CCL) Riverside Regional Office as soon as it is available.
LPA toured the facility inside and out and there was no imminent health and/or safety concerns observed at the time of visit.
An exit interview was conducted where this report was discussed with Administrator, Darleene Simpson Boyce and a copy was provided at the conclusion of the visit.
