Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Albert Johnson arrived at this facility unannounced to conduct a case management visit. LPA met with Karen Langley and explained the purpose of the visit.
On 10/14/2022, R1 suffered a superficial wound when a hook from R2's project was removed from R1's right buttocks area. The facility removed the hook and applied basic first aid. R1's primary care physician was not notified and R1 was not seen by any other medical professional.
The facility did not update R2's service plan to address the danger of having fish hooks in or around others that may be harmed as a result of these hooks being displaced.
LPA was told that the facility had a meeting with PACE to address the care plan and the safety risk that having the fish hooks on his desk has placed on residents in care. LPA was unable to review any documentation that addressed the safety concerns for supervising R1 while he is working with the fish hooks.
During the tour of the facility with Karen at approximately 12:00 PM, LPA Johnson and Staff observed in room 6B unlocked fish hooks in the cut out areas of the desk.(Photos taken) Also observed during the tour in the back patio area was a can of starter fluid. (Photo taken).
Per California Code of Regulations (CCRs) - Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8, Deficiencies are being cited. An exit interview was conducted with the Karen and a copy of this report was provided.
