25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Liliana Silveira conducted an unannounced follow up case management visit regarding a self-reported incident. LPA identified herself and explained the purpose of the visit to Caregiver Eleanor Weber. Eleanor allowed LPA entrance into the facility.
On 08/12/24, the Department received a self-reported incident report that described that on 08/11/2024, Resident #1 (R1) had eloped from the facility without staff supervision and returned the same day. During a case management visit on 08/14/24, LPA conducted a health and safety check, observed residents in care, reviewed records, and interviewed staff.
A review of R1’s medical report dated 03/19/24 revealed that R1 has dementia and is not able to leave the facility unassisted. A review of R1’s Care Plan dated 02/19/24 also revealed that R1 has wandering behaviors and “wanders outside in addition to wandering in residence; may or may not leave grounds.” Department interviews conducted with staff on 08/14/24 also revealed that R1 wanders around the inside of the facility, and in the backyard of the facility on a daily basis. A review of video camera footage from 08/11/24 also revealed that R1 walked outside the front door while staff and residents were in the dining room eating dinner. A records review revealed that there was no Absentee Notification Plan for R1, however, when R1 eloped, staff immediately called law enforcement and R1 was found at a local store and brought back to the facility. The Administrators are currently interviewing for a new 1 on 1 care staff for R1 and are in the process of purchasing an alarm system for the front door.
LPA provided Administrator Liza Mesdjian with technical assistance, regarding Absentee Notification Plans on an LIC9102TA form. One (1) deficiency was cited per California Health & Safety Code (HSC) (refer to the attached LIC 809-D).
A Plan of Correction was jointly developed with Administrator Liza Mesdjian via phone.
An exit interview was conducted with Eleanor, whose signature below confirms receipt of a copy of this report, LIC 809-D page and the Licensee Appeal Rights (LIC9058 3/22). |
