25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Teresa Camara conducted a case management-deficiencies visit while visiting the facility regarding an unrelated complaint number 29-AS-20220718164215. LPA met with co-administrator Karina Antig and explained the reason for the visit.
At approximately 11:36 am, while briefly touring the facility, LPA observed Resident 1 (R1) with what appeared to be intravenous (IV) bags being administered. LPA inquired with Staff 1 (S1) about the IV bags and S1 stated R1 has a gastronomy tube (g-tube). S1 stated R1 has had the g-tube since date of admission 6/20/2022.
LPA spoke with the administrator regarding R1's g-tube at approximately 12:30 p.m. The administrator stated when she admitted R1 she was told R1 would be placed on hospice. However, R1's condition started improving and R1 was never put on hospice. R1 receives home health services for the g-tube. R1 has started eating food and R1's gastroenterologist indicated they might remove R1's g-tube. The administrator stated she would contact R1's doctor and request an update. If R1 is not placed on hospice or have the g-tube removed, she will notify R1's responsible party that R1 must be placed in a skilled nursing facility.
Pursuant to Title 22 CA Code of Regulations, the following deficiencies were cited (refer to LIC 9099-D). Exit interview conducted. Today's report and appeal rights were discussed and emailed. |
