25 | Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Christine Dolores and Grace Donato arrived unannounced to conduct case management deficiencies visit due to violations observed during a complaint investigation for control number: 26-AS-20231227155220. LPAs met with Interim Executive Director, Christopher Schuster.
On 12/26/2023 resident (R1) began to develop flu-like symptoms and was transferred to the hospital on 12/27/2023. Based on staff interviews, staff stated the observation of R1's change of condition on 12/26/2023. On 12/26/2023, the facility did not notify R1’s physician immediately regarding the change of condition.
On 12/26/2023 R1’s responsible party contacted the facility around 6:00PM requesting to administer R1 a PRN medication due to verbalized pain and illness. R1’s responsible party spoke with a staff who stated the medtech on duty was currently on lunch and would relay the request when the medtech returns from lunch. Based on interview, the medtech was notified via voicemail, however, the medtechs are not good at listening to their voicemail right away. Based on record review, R1’s PRN medication was not administered until around 8:00PM, about 2 hours after the PRN medication was verbally requested.
Deficiencies were cited per California Code of Regulations, Title 22. See LIC809-D.
A civil penalty for repeat violation within a 12-month period is being assessed for the mount of $250. See LIC421FC.
This report was reviewed with Interim Executive Director, Christopher Schuster and a copy of the report and appeal rights were provided. |
