25 | On December 31, 2021, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Komal Charitra and Jaime Vado conducted an unannounced case management visit in relation to the COVID-19 outbreak that occurred in November 2020 throughout January 2021. LPAs were greeted by Administrator, Lana Somporn and explained the purpose of the visit. LPAs were not screened at the front entrance.
On November 29, 2020, during a telephone meeting between APA Cystal Moore, Regional Manager (RM) Vivien Helbling, and Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Julio Montes, Administrator Lana Somporn indicated that resident had died of choking rather than COVID-19 which implied potential lack of supervision. The Department investigated and found that the resident did die due to COVID-19 and not choking. The investigation also found that the administrator had been neglectful and unable to adhere to county directives and recommendations and therefore contributed to resident being exposed to Coronavirus.
Due to the Administrator not following infection control guidance, and lack of staff training and oversight, this caused the Cornonavirus to enter both facilities; Orchid Villa and Orchid Lan (facility no. 415600667). A temporary manager had to be put in place to manage both facilities through the Coronavirus outbreak and bring both facilities back into compliance.
Deficiency of the RCFE California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8 is observed and cited on a following page.
Report is reviewed with Administrator, Lana Somporn and a copy will be provided. |
