During the course of the investigation 1 administrator, 3 staff, and 1 resident were interviewed. LPA obtained the following documents to investigate the above allegation: Durable Power of attorney document, facility visitation policy in regard to Covid 19 restrictions.

Review of Durable Power of attorney document which was notarized on 06/03/2021 revealed that a family member of R1 has durable power of attorney for R1. In the State of California this allows a person to authorize someone else to handle monetary decisions on their behalf. This document has no authoritative power to restrict visitation. The facility’s visitation policy, which is posted at the facility entrance, is specific to restricting visitation due to Covid 19 symptoms or exposure of a visitor in order to protect the residents of the facility.

All staff that were interviewed stated that R1 chose to restrict the visits of a specific individual. R1 chose not to talk on the phone with this individual nor did R1 want this individual to visit them at the facility. Staff stated that this was a family agreement between R1 and the family member. Per the administrator and staff no other visitors were restricted by R1.

Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred, and the findings are UNSUBSTANTIATED.

An exit interview was conducted. A copy of the report was emailed to site supervisor Melanie Byrd. No deficiencies were cited on today’s date.
