Staff did not provide proper care and supervision to resident in care.
It was alleged that the facility staff were not providing the necessary care and supervision to resident R1 as R1 had a wound on left pinky toe.

On 03/03/2026, the Department interviewed facility staff (S1-S4). 4 Out of 4 staff stated R1 has paralysis on the left side of the body where in R1 has “clubfoot” to the left foot. They stated R1 “scoots” in wheelchair around the facility wherein the left foot scrapes the floor. They stated a licensed home health agency provides incidental care to the wound on left foot. They stated R1 is prescribed a foam pad for the clubfoot, but R1 would always take it off.

On 03/03/2026, the Department interviewed residents (R1-R4). R1 was not able to respond verbally or nonverbally to questions asked about this investigation. 3 Out of 3 residents stated he/she feel safe at the facility and staff assist them when needed.

On 03/09/2026, the Department interviewed nurse (RN) from licensed home health agency overseeing R1’s care at the facility. RN stated the wounds on R1’s foot are not considered pressure injuries as R1 is not bedridden and can rotate on their own. RN stated R1 had blisters on left foot and toes from hitting the floor when R1 scoots. RN stated the last two visits, R1’s blister on left foot was healing slowly.

Based on review of R1’s nurses’ notes from 8/7/2025, R1’s foot has a blister to part of the little toe, which was getting better. On 8/9/2025, the nurse’s note stated there was no more bleeding on R1’s left food and it was slowly healing.

On 03/16/2026, the Department interviewed R1’s authorized representative (AR). AR stated R1 had a wound on the left foot, but it was not a pressure injury. AR stated R1 was diagnosed with a clubfoot which caused R1 to drag the foot while walking. AR is aware home health nurses visit R1 at the facility once a week to treat the wounds. AR stated R1 received adequate care at the facility.

On 03/17/2026, the Department interviewed San Andreas Regional Center (SARC) (CD) Representative who was aware of R1’s wounds. SARC CD stated R1’s wound on left foot was due to R1 scraping the floor when R1 dragged the lower part of body. SARC CD stated facility staff cannot stop R1 from scooting on the floor due to residents’ personal rights. SARC CD stated an exception request was approved by the Department for R1 to continue to live at the facility with support of a licensed home health agency.

Based on review of R1’s Physician’s Report dated 09/18/2024, R1 has left spastic hemiparesis and has a left “clubfoot” and uses a wheelchair to ambulate. R1 is able to independently transfer to and from bed. Based on review of R1’s Appraisal/Needs and Services dated 09/10/2024, R1 is visited by home health nurse every week to monitor R1’s skin integrity. Based on R1’s SARC Individual Program Plan (IPP) dated 9/26/2024, R1 has Congenital Talipes Equinovarus (CTEV) or a “clubfoot” on R1’s left foot which affects the gait and R1 is to be seen by home health nurse weekly to monitor skin condition. Based on R1’s Functional Capability Assessment dated 05/13/2026, R1 is able to transfer in and out of bed or chair, reposition and move wheelchair themselves, R1 is able to walk well alone or with support.

Based on the interviews conducted with clients and staff and based on observation and records review, although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the above allegations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED.

No deficiencies cited from California Code of Regulations, Title 22. Exit interview conducted with Administrator, Jhanelle Guico and a copy of the report was provided.
