Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Natasha Persaud conducted an unannounced Case Management visit. LPA identified herself and discussed the purpose of the visit with Executive Director, Inan Linton.

During today’s visit, LPA briefly toured the facility. The reason for the visit is to issue deficiencies that were identified during a complaint investigation. Investigation revealed Resident #1 (R1) sustained five (5) pressure injuries resulting in hospitalization due to neglect by facility staff. R1 was being treated for the pressure injuries at the facility by Home Health (HH) and a Mobile Wound Care (MWC) service. R1 received wound care services from 07/02/20 through 07/13/20. On 07/04/20, Home Health documented the five (5) pressure injuries and diagnosed them as: two (2) pressure injuries on the lower right leg were Unstageable, due to being covered 100% in black eschar; one (1) pressure injury on the bilateral buttock was a Stage I; one (1) pressure injury on the right earlobe was a Stage II; and one (1) pressure injury on the left lower lateral leg was Unstageable, due to being covered 100% in black eschar. The Mayo Clinic defines pressure injuries can be classified into four (4) stages of increasing depth and severity, known as Stages one (1) thru four (4). However, they also have additional stages that exist known as unstageable injuries. Unstageable injuries are described as covered by dead tissue or eschar that obscures the ulcer base.

During services being provided, the facility did not obtain a plan of care from the Home Health Agency to provide the supporting care and supervision needed to meet the needs of R1. Thus, some R1’s pressure injuries continued to progress to, “unstageable”. Facility staff interviews revealed they requested the plan of care multiple times but did not receive it and did not continue to follow up. A pressure injury that progresses beyond a stage 2, is deemed a prohibited health condition and the license is required to submit a written exception request if he/she believes that the intent of the law can be met through alternative means. The facility did not request an exception for R1’s prohibited health condition per Title 22 Regulations. Continued on LIC 809C.

Lastly, R1’s primary care physician sent a physician’s order via fax to the facility on 06/23/20 indicating to keep R1’s legs propped up on a pillow when in wheelchair to off-load pressure on legs. Staff interviews revealed R1’s legs were not being off-loaded as prescribed on 06/23/20. Title 22 Regulations require staff to be competent to provide the services necessary to meet resident’s needs. However, staff did not follow physician’s orders, obtain a plan of care or request a prohibited health condition exception.

Based on interviews and record review the licensee was found in violation and therefore per California code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6 & Chapter 8 the licensee is being cited on the attached LIC 809D. An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of this report and Licensee Rights (LIC 9058 01/16) were provided to Executive Director via electronic mail. An electronic mail read receipt was requested to be provided upon receipt of the documents. [See LIC 811 Confidential Names List to identify Resident #1].
