13 | On 2-23-22 at 11:05am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Michael Bilger arrived unannounced to deliver findings for the complaint allegation noted above. LPA met with Alicia Carranza and explained the purpose of the visit. Administrator Anuradha Saini was notified and gave permission for Alicia Carranza to accommodate LPA and sign in her absence. During this investigation, LPA reviewed Admission agreement for Resident1 (R1), a general rate increase notice furnished by facility, interviewed R1, and interviewed regional executive director. Based on interviews and record review it was determined that the admission agreement for R1 contains a provision which states a 60-day notice will be given for a change in monthly fee. Review of general rate increase notice dated 10-1-21 revealed that the notice was not addressed to a specific resident and did not contain a signature of acknowledgement in order to determine proof of issuance. Additionally, this notice did not state an adequate reason for an increase or a general description of any additional costs as per regulatory requirements. Interview with R1 revealed a notice was issued on 1-24-22 to reflect an effective rate change date of 2-1-22. {Cont on 9099C} |
