R1 alleged R2 of hitting her but no injuries were observed. This incident happened during the PM and NOC shift change. LPA interviewed 4 staff on this incident (2 NOC shift staff (S1 and S2) and 2 PM shift staff (S3 & S4) who were assigned to residents (R1 & R2) on 12/19/2019. All staff interviewed did not know how R1 wandered into R2's bedroom and how long she was in R2's room.

Narrative Continued..

Regarding Incident dated 12/21/2019 involving residents, (R3 & R4). On 12/21/2019 at 10:30pm , staff (S3) heard noises coming out from R3's bedroom. Upon checking, R3 was seen on the floor with Resident (R4) hitting her. R3 sustained bruises and cut to head. Based on the interview, LPA learnt that one of the staff went to use the restroom while the other staff was in the dinning room attending a resident. There was no other staff on the floor to monitor and supervise the residents. Staff stated that OAK neighborhood residents requires high level of care and usually 2 person assist is required. Staff stated that R4's behavior was discussed to their superior but no action was taken. Staff stated just recently there was a change in his medication but still requires lot of supervision.

R3's service plan dated 09/23/2019 to 1/28/2020 states the action taken by facility would be, "Resident will feel safe and respected" but on 12/21/2020, R4 was able to enter R3's room and physically assaulted R3 resulting in injuries. Staff did not have knowledge as how R1 and R4 wandered in R3 and R4's room while they were on duty providing care and supervision. On both the incidents, facility staff did not provide adequate supervision and Residents (R1,R2, R3, & R4) did not feel safe and respected which resulted in violation of residents' personal rights as stated in Residents' Admission Agreement.

The allegation is SUBSTANTIATED. The following deficiency was cited per CA Code of Regulations Title 22-refer to the 9099d. Immediate Civil Penalty of $500 was assessed for violation resulting in injuries occurred to a resident in care. Appeal rights served. Appeal rights served.
