25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Cuadra arrived at this facility unannounced to conduct a case management visit in regards to a couple self-incident report along with death report submitted to CCL on 10/29/2022 and met with lead staff, Diandra Chadwick. Administrator Alex Varshavsky was not able to come to the facility but was available by phone and gave authorization to staff to sign the report.
On 10/29/22 LPA received a self-incident report along with death certificate for resident (R1). Per incident report, on 10/28/22 R1 was having dinner when suddenly slumped to one side of the chair in the dining room and face began to drop to the right side. Staff (S1) was assisting other residents in the dining room when noticed and started to assess R1 to check if resident was responding and reached out to another staff (S2) to call 911. Upon paramedics arrived, they transported R1 to Kaiser for further evaluation. S1 notified lead staff and lead staff notified R1's responsible party. R1 was treated for massive brain bleed. Per death report dated 11/3/22, R1 passed away on 10/30/22 while in the hospital due to brain bleed.
During today's visit, LPA attempted to review R1's records including LIC602 Physician's report and care plan. However, LPA was informed that S2 gave the entire binder to paramedics and now is missing. LPA discussed with Administrator that resident's records shall be kept confidential. LPA obtained R1's death certificate issued on 11/4/22 that indicates large left intraparenchymal hemorrage, etiology unknown as the immediate cause of death with hypertension as contributing condition to the cause of death. Based on interviews conducted with facility staff, R1 did not fall from the chair because S1 noticed when resident's face started to drop.
