32 | In a second interview with the resident's conservator on 3/4/21, LPA Filouane requested an update on the resident's situation. The conservator stated they had consulted with the resident's physician and confirmed the facility had not reported the change of food intake and weight loss of the resident over the course of six months to the resident's physician, dating to December of 2020.
The loss of dentures was a direct correlation of the resident's decrease in solid food in-take, which, over the course of six months, resulted in a loss of the resident's weight. The facility's inaction to replace the dentures of the resident and not reporting the lost dentures to the resident's conservator until December of 2020, is a violation of the resident's personal rights under Title 22, affording a safe and healthful environment.
According to Title 22 regulations, the Licensee shall ensure a safe and healthful environment. Evidence reveals the facility had not contacted the resident's conservator or physician regarding the lost dentures and change of food intake within reasonable time and displayed inaction for six months.
Based on LPA’s observations, record review, and interviews, which were conducted along with a file review, the preponderance of evidence has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations (Title 22, Division 6 & Chapter number 8) is being cited on the attached LIC 9099D.
Exit interview conducted with the Facility Director over the phone. The director will receive this LIC9099 report through email to sign and then will email the signed version back to the LPA. |
