32 | Review of R1’s medical assessment (LIC602A) dated November 2024 states R1 is able to leave facility unassisted using their electric scooter, Lyft, or Uber. R1’s service plan dated 10/31/2025 states R1 is independent with mobility and uses an electric scooter for long distances. Neither R1’s medical assessment or service plan indicate they require someone to accompany them to appointments. A facility log of transportation requests indicates R1 had an appointment on a day in August 2025. Interview’s revealed that although S1 could not take R1 to the appointment Staff #2 (S2) did take R1 to the appointment.
Title 22 regulations for residential care facilities for the elderly state that the licensee shall provide assistance in meeting necessary medical needs of residents including transportation needed which the licensee shall do so directly or make arrangements for.
Based on all interviews conducted and documents obtained, at this time the above allegation was found to be unsubstantiated, meaning that the allegation may have happened or is valid, but there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred.
On the allegation, staff did not ensure facility is clean, safe, and sanitary; it was alleged that R1 moved out of this facility and moved to another facility where it was discovered that R1 had small bugs crawling all over them, out of their beard and in their mouth.
Interview and record review reveal that R1’s last day at this facility was 4/6/2026 and they moved into another facility on the same day. On 4/7/2026, staff at the other facility assisted R1 with their bathing and grooming needs and noticed small insects crawling throughout R1’s body hair. On 4/7/2026, R1 was diagnosed and treated for a form of body lice.
After R1 relocated, but prior to removing their personal items, R1’s responsible party requested the facility have the room and personal belongings inspected for the lice by pest control. On 4/15/2026 the facility had a pest control company out to inspect R1’s room. Review of the pest control invoice dated 4/15/2026 states there was no evidence of lice or related activity observed. No additional cases have been reported among staff or residents. Interviews and resident sign-in/out logs revealed that R1 spent time out of the facility on a regular basis. Based on the information available, it cannot be determined where or when R1 acquired the lice.
