32 | On 04/03/2026 - Three resident(R1 to R3) and one staff (S1) were interviewed. S1 stated that rooms are initially unfurnished and residents generally supply their own furniture, including beds. The facility provides basic furniture only for residents without their own, and facility provided beds are repaired or replaced by maintenance when needed. S1 also stated that some Assisted Living residents use hospital beds supplied through their insurance, and those beds are serviced by the corresponding DME vendor. The facility assists residents in contacting vendors as needed.
1 Out of 3 residents declined to be interviewed, 1 Out of 3 does not have information on who supplied their bed, and 1 Out of 3 is waiting to get their hospital bed repaired from the hospital bed provider. 1 Out of 3 residents stated they are aware that CCLD does not have jurisdiction over beds not supplied by the facility.
Inspection showed that all three residents had hospital beds with vendor information on the bedframe. Facility documents indicated that hospital beds are not provided by the facility and are not included in the admission agreement. ****Additional information On 04/29/2026, LPA randomly inspected 4 memory care room (2 shared and 2 private (R4 to R7) that uses medical beds and 6 resident (R8 to R13) in assisted living. 2 out of the 6 resident in the AL uses hospital bed, which are in good working condition. LPA conducted interviews with 5 staff (S2 to S6), S2 & S6 stated that they have not seen a broken bed in the MC & AL section. S3 and S5 stated that R1 did complain about the noise that R1s medical bed was making but did not see any visible break on the frame, or bolts coming off and no oil leaking from the bed. S3 & S5 stated they reported R1s complaint about his/her bed making a noise to S4 and S4 came and checked on the bed. S4 stated if it is a loose bolt that needs tightening, maintenance will tighten the bolt, however, because of liability issue maintenance cannot repair a broken medical bed which was issued to the resident by their medical provider. S4 stated to facilitate repair of a broken medical bed or beds, the residents or caregivers calls the front desk to request for service. Maintenance will check on the problem and either repair or refer the issue to the management team. If it is a medical bed management assists resident in contacting their medical supplier to get their medical bed either replaced or repaired.
This agency has investigated the complaint alleging that staff did not ensure that resident’s’ bed is kept in good repair. We have found that the complaint was unfounded, meaning that the allegation was false, could not have happened and/or is without a reasonable basis. No deficiencies were cited based on the California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 22. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of the report was provided to AED Valerie Baldugo. End of report |
