13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Arlene Garcia conducted an unannounced visit to deliver the findings of the complaint initiated on 3/25/2021. LPA met with Executive Director, Deborah Lucas.
The initial 10 day visit was conducted on 03/29/2021.
Through the course of the investigation, LPAs conducted interviews, reviewed staff/ resident records and facility records. It was alleged that a resident is severely neglected and that the facility is not reporting incidents to resident's responsible party. Although the facility weight logs revealed R1 lost 23 lbs. in one month, based on the facility records, staff interviews and hospital records, there was no evidence to support R1 was a victim of neglect. Records reviewed showed that the facility took the measures to contact the physicians and hospitals caring for the resident. Review of resident records showed facility staff adhered to instructions recommended by physicians. Interviews conducted confirmed staff notified responsible parties of R1.
Based on the information provided through interviews, records reviewed, and facility tour, the allegations that a resident is severely neglected and that the facility is not reporting incidents to resident's responsible party is UNFOUNDED.
This agency has investigated the allegations noted. We have found them to be UNFOUNDED meaning they are false, could not have happened and/or are without a reasonable basis. We have therefore dismissed the complaint.
Per California Code of Regulations (CCRs) - Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8, no deficiencies are being cited. Exit interview held, a copy of report given.
