25 | On 6-16-23 at 1:02pm, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Michael Bilger and Arvin Villanueva arrived unannounced to open a case management regarding an incident which occurred on 5/22/23. LPA met with Administrator Virginia Yadao and explained the purpose of the visit. LPA interviewed Administrator and reviewed incident report dated 5-23-23 as well as individualized program plan (IPP) for resident1 (R1) and Physician's Report (LIC 602) for R1. . Based on interview and record review it was determined that R1 exited facility on 5-22-23 at some time after his return from day program. Interview conducted revealed R1 returned from day program at approximately 2:45pm on 5-22-23. At approximately 4:30pm Administrator learned that R1 was not at the facility after receiving a call from R1's day program that R1 was seen walking down a nearby street alone and picked up by day program due to safety concerns. Administrator then arrived at day program location at approximately 4:40pm to transport R1 back to facility.
R1's IPP dated 3/4/22 and reviewed by LPA revealed R1 is unable to monitor R1's medical and dental needs independently. IPP further states concerns about R1's safety awareness while out in the community. Interview with Administrator revealed facility's internal plan includes providing staff supervision for R1 and all other residents in care due to known safety concerns including absence without supervision (AWOL). Additionally, it was revealed through interview that R1 did not sign out of facility which resulted in an absence of supervision of R1 and facility staff unaware of R1's general whereabouts.
Based on today's case management, a citation is issued under Title 22, Division 6. An immediate civil penalty in the amount of $500 is issued in addition to citation due to absence of supervision. An exit interview was conducted with Virginia Yadao and a copy of this report was provided to Virginia. Appeal rights provided. |
