25 | On 02/05/2025, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Ivan Avila arrived at the facility to conduct an unannounced case management visit in response to Alta California Regional Center issuing a Facility Action Report (FAR) on 01/29/2025. LPA met with Joanna Melendres and explained the purpose of the visit.
LPA Avila reviewed the documented visit conducted by Alta California Regional Center and observed that the report stated on 01/29/2025, the Regional Center reviewed the medications records for the residents and reviewed staff files.
The Regional Center issued a Facility Action Report (FAR) because the facility has a resident who is diabetic and the facility staff did not have a written health care plan for the resident that includes but not limited to: blood sugar monitoring, target blood sugar ranges, critical levels requiring attention, and clear instructions to staff on responding to dangerously high or low blood sugar. This is a violation. Licensee shall submit a written plan of correction on how they shall ensure there are written care plans addressing the specific needs of the individual. The care plans themselves shall not be submitted, what shall be submitted is how the licensee shall ensure the regulations are met.
The Regional Center issued a FAR because the facility did not administer a medication to a resident for the month of December 2024 to January 13, 2025.
Deficiencies cited from the California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6 of California Regulation. Failure to correct the deficiency and/or repeat deficiencies within a 12-month period may result in civil penalties.
An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of the report and appeal rights were provided.
