On October 8 and 9, 2017, the Santa Rosa area sustained widespread wildfires, forcing evacuations of multiple residential care facilities. On October 26, 2017, the Department initiated a complaint investigation into an allegation that facility staff failed to evacuate residents during the wildfire and left the facility while some residents were still inside the facility.

The Department conducted on-site visits, interviewed 10 staff, 10 residents, first responders, City officials, family members, and other witnesses. The Department reviewed the Santa Rosa Police Department (SRPD) police reports, SRPD body camera footage, resident records, the facility’s Plan of Operation, and the facility’s Disaster Planning policies, and procedures dated February 16, 2017.

Per correspondence the Department received on November 10, 2017 from the Vice President of Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs, all 25 of the residents in the memory care portion of the building are considered non-ambulatory, since they cannot exit unassisted in the event of an emergency. The “memory care section” is the residential area of the building that houses residents with a diagnosis of dementia. According to the facility’s floor plan, the second floor houses 37 assisted living residents. Of the 37 residents in assisted living, there were 22 residents who were non-ambulatory per S15. Based on interviews, the power went on and off during the night of the fire and therefore, residents who required assistance evacuating, or were non-ambulatory, had to evacuate via the stairs instead of the elevator. Interviews conducted by the Department and review of records indicated that four staff (S5, S7, S8, and S9) were present during the night shift, but were unsure of the facility’s Emergency Evacuation Procedures. Although staff assisted with some portions of the evacuations, they did not ensure that all residents were evacuated.

The Department conducted a review of the Villa Capri file, which contained the Oakmont “Disaster and Emergency Manual for Assisted Living and Residential Care Communities.” During an interview, S15 indicated via correspondence on October 16, 2017, that the Disaster and Emergency Manual contained their evacuation procedures.

The manual, on page 82, explains that the Primary Emergency Assembly Point (EAP) is to “coordinate a head count of all residents, staff, and visitors using the Resident Roster, Visitor Sign-In/Out Sheet, and Employee Sign-In/Out Sheet,” and “If it is safe to do so, the appropriate Safety Supervisors conduct a sweep of their areas of the building to locate any individuals not accounted for during the head count.” Based on the staff interviews, these steps were not taken by S5, S7, S8 and S9.

SRPD indicated in their reports that upon their arrival at the facility at approximately 3:45 a.m. on October 9, 2017, there were an estimated 20 residents in the building who required assistance evacuating. Some of the 20 residents were hearing impaired, in a wheelchair, or needed transfer assistance. Further, Emergency Responders stated that upon their arrival, there were no staff present to assist in locating and evacuating other residents in the building.

Staff interviews revealed that staff S5, S7, S8 and S9 did not have adequate training in emergency disaster procedures. S7, who is the designated substitute in absence of the Administrator, stated they did not have an evacuation plan to follow. When S7 was hired they were told what to do if the fire was inside the building, but did not know anything about what to do if they needed to evacuate due to an emergency outside the building. S8 stated that she wasted an hour trying to locate the bus keys and no staff on duty had access to the bus keys. S8 stated that she was not trained in emergency procedures or an evacuation plan. S5 also stated that she, and the other staff on duty, did not know where the keys to the busses were. Staff S5 and S7 evacuated on Oakmont buses driven by a maintenance worker (S2) from a sister facility and a family member of a resident, who came to assist residents being evacuated. S8 was interviewed and stated that a resident’s family member advised S8 that, due to the proximity of the fire to the building, there was no time left and instructed the two remaining staff (S8 and S9) to bring their personal cars up to the front of the building so they could load residents into the cars. S8 left with three residents and, shortly thereafter, S9 followed with three additional residents.

S9 was interviewed and stated that she was the last staff to leave when she evacuated in her own vehicle with three residents, there were two family members remaining at Villa Capri with approximately 20 residents still needing to be evacuated. Per interviews conducted with family members and the SRPD police reports, Emergency Responders did not arrive until after all staff had evacuated with a portion of the residents. The remaining residents were evacuated with the assistance of family members and Emergency Responders.

The Department interviewed staff, S1, who was not at the facility the night of the fires, who stated that since they started working at Villa Capri (beginning February 2016), they had not conducted a disaster drill where all residents and staff evacuated the building.

Based on SRPD reports, records review, interviews with family members, residents, and staff on duty the night of the fires, and information obtained during the investigation the allegation regarding “facility staff failed to evacuate residents during a fire” is SUBSTANTIATED. A finding that the complaint is substantiated means that the allegation is valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met.

California Code of Regulations, (Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8) and/or Health & Safety Code, is being cited on the attached LIC 9099Ds.

Licensing Program Analyst Alviso, and Licensing Program Manger Martinez, delivered findings, on 9/6/18, of the complaint allegation above; LPA and LPM met with Debbie Smith and Nathan Condie, Administrators'. On October 26, 2017, the Department initiated a complaint investigation into the allegation that staff failed to inform family of evacuation. The Department interviewed staff and family members regarding the evacuations that took place due to the wild fires in Santa Rosa on the night of October 8, 2017, and the morning of October 9, 2017.

This allegation is related to the evacuation of a resident referred to as R1 in this report. R1 was evacuated from Villa Capri in the early morning hours of October 9, 2017, due to fires in the area. R1 was taken to the New Vintage Church evacuation shelter where facility staff were onsite to care for the residents evacuated from Villa Capri. An interview with S4 indicated that R1 fell while at the evacuation shelter, and was transported to a local hospital by Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT).

 When S4 flagged down EMTs at the evacuation shelter to transport R1 to the local emergency room, S4 did not have any resident records to send with the EMTs. Records were not removed from the facility when staff evacuated. In addition, S4 did not have the contact numbers at the evacuation shelter to alert R1’s family that she was being transported to a local area hospital. Per family, R1 was admitted to the hospital as a “Jane Doe,” and due to the fires in the area had to be evacuated a second time from that hospital to another hospital about 20 minutes away. Interviews with family stated that they could not find R1 for several hours after R1 left the evacuation shelter. This information was corroborated by other family members who reported not being noticed for hours after learning that Villa Capri was evacuated. Families where not noticed what evacuation sites the residents were taken to. R11 and R12’s daughter was not noticed for over 8 hours of the whereabouts of her parents. R11 and R12 were located at a local evacuation shelter, which had to be re-evacuated to a secondary location. No notice was given to families of where they were going, no signs on the door. R11 and R12 were found over two hours away, after family members began calling Assisted Living communities outside of the area.

Based on the interviews, record review, and information obtained during the investigation the allegation regarding “staff failed inform family of evacuation” is SUBSTANTIATED. A finding that the complaint is substantiated means that the allegation is valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met.

 Per interviews with a Registered Nurse from Villa Capri (referred to as S4), S4 went to the shelter to assist residents. While at the shelter, S4 heard a noise and heard R1 say “ow”. S4 said they approached R1 who appeared to have slipped off a chair to the floor. R1 was complaining of pain and indicated it was in the hip area. S4 sought assistance from Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) who had just parked their vehicle at the shelter. According to S4, the EMTs assessed R1 and suspected a possible injury to R1’s hip. Based on medical records and interviews, the resident suffered a broken hip, which required surgery. Although the staff did not have resident records, S4 was able to provide personal information to the EMTs, who then transported R1 to a local area hospital.

Based on the interviews, record review, and information obtained during the investigation the allegation that “staff neglect resulted in resident sustaining serious injury” is UNSUBSTANTIATED. A finding that the complaint is unsubstantiated means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred.
