25 | On 06/12/2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Ivan Avila arrived unannounced at the facility to conduct a case management visit regarding an absent without leave incident report the Department received via fax on 05/29/2024. LPA met with Administrator Sarah Prather and explained the purpose of the visit.
The incident occurred on 05/29/2024 at approximately 1:30 AM when facility staff observed R1 to be missing. Facility staff conducted a search throughout the facility, and it was noted that R1 was no longer in the facility. Resident was missing for approximately 30 minutes. R1 was located later that night across the street. Based on R1's LIC 602 Physician's Report, signed on 04/03/2024, it is indicated that R1 was deemed unable to leave the facility unassisted.
LPA and Administrator discussed ensuring that staff are aware which residents can leave the facility unassisted. LPA clarified that if the LIC 602 indicates resident cannot leave unassisted then the facility is to comply. Additionally, LPA and Administrator discussed that R1 is diagnosed with a Neurocognitive Disorder, Dementia, and requires close supervision.
As a result of the incident, a deficiency is being cited per California Code of Regulations, Title 22, and California Health and Safety Code. The deficiency is documented on the LIC 809-D page.
Exit interview conducted, a copy of the report and appeal rights were provided. |
