13 | Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Anna Bueno and Michelle Echeverria conducted an unannounced visit to the facility to initiate the investigation of and deliver findings to the above mentioned allegation. LPAs identified themselves to assistant administrator Erika Montoya and discussed the purpose of the visit and elements of the allegation. The investigation included resident and staff interviews, and records review.
The allegation is Resident is being overcharged. Review of LIC602A, Physician's Report, LIC603, Preplacement Appraisal, and facility needs and service care plan show that Resident 1 (R1) requires medication management and assistance with self-care activities. LPAs reveiwed admissions agreement that shows R1 agreed to grooming and bathing services. LPAs reveiwed R1 payment history from 7/1/19 through 12/31/22 and found that bathing assistance and medication management were only charged on July 2019, August 2019, and October 2019. This allegation is therefore UNFOUNDED.
A finding of unfounded means that the allegation is false, could not have happened and/or is without a reasonable basis. An exit interview was conducted where this report was discussed, and a copy provided to Erika Montoya. |
