13 | On 1/4/2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Murial Han conducted an unannounced 10-day complaint inspection. LPA met with caregiver, Benito Maglalang and explained the purpose of today's visit. Caregiver contacted the administrator, Oscar Madrigal who arrived at the facility and assisted with the rest of the investigation. LPA Han reviewed the allegation with the administrator.
Regarding to allegation of- staff did not notify resident's authorized representative of resident's death- the reporting party reported that resident #1 (R1)'s family was informed by the facility of R1's passing.
The administrator denied the allegation and stated R1's authorized representative was not a family member, it was the Power of Attorney (POA) who was listed in R1's Advanced Health Care Directive. Therefore, the facility reported R1's passing to R1's POA and not the family member.
Based on R1's Advanced Health Care Directive, LPA validated that the above POA was appointed by R1.
