25 | On 8-21-23 at 1:40pm, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Michael Bilger and Arvin Villanueva arrived unannounced to conduct a case management visit regarding an incident which occurred on 7-25-23. LPAs met with Administrator Doris Madrid and explained the purpose of the visit. LPAs also reviewed incident report dated 7-28-23 as well as physician's report and needs and service plan for resident1 (R1). Based on interviews and record reviews, it was determined that on 7-25-23 at approximately 3:40am, facility staff woke up and checked R1's room and discovered R1 to be sleeping. At 5:30am, facility staff woke up to prepare breakfast and checked R1's room. At that time, facility staff discovered R1 was not in R1's room. Facility staff checked the rest of facility and was unable to locate R1. It was further revealed Licensee drove around nearby shopping center and other locations but unable to locate R1. Based on record review and interview, it was additionally revealed that facility's protocol is to call police and file a missing person report if residents do not return by 10pm. A review of R1's physician's report revealed R1 is able to leave facility unassisted, however, record reviews and interview revealed R1 did not sign out resulting in staff unaware of R1's whereabouts, and an absence of supervision of R1. Furthermore, it was revealed that a missing persons report was not made until the night of 7-25-23 at 8:55pm. At this time, based on interview conducted, R1 has not returned to the facility and is currently on the "Con-Rep Program."
Based on today's case management, a citation is issued under Title 22, Division 6. A civil penalty in the amount of $500 is assessed due to the occurrence of absence of supervision. An exit interview was conducted with Doris Madrid and a copy of this report was provided to Doris. Appeal rights provided. |
