Based on record reviews, there was only one incident report submitted to CCL. There was no incident report received regarding staff and additional residents being infected. LPA also interviewed three staff and it was mentioned that there were more residents that got infected. On staff (S1) stated that there were reports made but that the staff who should’ve submitted it got sick too. Another staff member (S2) mentioned that when incidents happen, they only report them to upper management, and they are not aware of what happens after this.

Regarding the allegation of facility did not follow the infection control plan, RP stated that facility has no emergency PPE supply.

Based on interviews, according to RP, they asked around if there were any emergency PPEs available. There was none, even masks were not available. RP was also told that it had already been brought up to a higher level, but nothing was done. S1 confirmed that there was no emergency PPE supply in the facility. Past Executive Directors have known that there were no PPEs and were instructed to get kits but weren’t able to.

Regarding the allegation of facility did not send eviction letter to CCL, RP stated that there might be a concern for probable illegal eviction.

Based on record reviews, RP provided a document of a letter of eviction to a resident. LPA reviewed and it showed all the elements required in an eviction letter. This letter was not submitted to CCL within five days.

Based on interviews and record reviews during the investigation, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met. Therefore, these allegations were determined to be SUBSTANTIATED. Deficiencies of the California Code of Regulations, Title, 22 cited on the LIC9099-D. Failure to correct the deficiencies may result in civil penalties.

This report is reviewed and discussed. A copy of this report and Appeal Rights were provided.
