25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Renee Campbell and LPA Victoria Brown arrived unannounced to conduct a Case Management visit on 08/31/2023 at 8:30 AM. LPA Campbell and LPA Brown arrived in the facility and observed staff working in the dining room and residents resting in the common area. LPA's Campbell and Brown met with Administrator Judy Rodrigues and Daisy Aguilar, Memory Care Director, to discuss the purpose of the visit. Community Care licensing received two incident reports dated 07/25/23 and 08/14/23 regarding Absence Without Leave (AWOL) for Resident 1(R1).
The Physician's Report (LIC602) dated 05/25/23 indicated that R1 was not able to leave the facility unassisted. During both incidents, R1 was found outside of Memory Care without assistance. During the first AWOL on 07/25/23, the facility conducted an investigation and confirmed that R1 was found outside off the premises. The incident report indicated that on 08/14/23 that R1 was found 1.5 miles from the facility. In addition it was reported that additional staff is needed in the memory care section of the facility. At this time, LPA obtained information that there is one med tech and two caregivers per shift. However, when there is a call out, there is no substitution. During interviews on 08/24/23, LPA received information that someone may have turned off the alarm and that more staff were needed in memory care. Per interviews, it was unclear how resident was able to AWOL from the facility without being observed. LPA will discuss the use of outside agencies for staffing coverage.
Per California Code of Regulations (CCRs) - Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8, the following deficiencies are being cited on the attached 809D during this visit.
If any of the cited deficiencies are not corrected by the noted due dates; civil penalties may be assessed.
