Regarding the allegation: “Staff do not ensure residents are provided a mattress in good condition” as it was alleged that resident’s bed at the facility has a hole in the middle and the facility refuses to replace it.
During today’s visit, LPAs and investigator conducted a physical plant tour and inspected multiple resident rooms. In two (2) of the rooms visited, the mattresses were observed to be worn down and had a visible dip in the middle. Resident interviews revealed concerns regarding the quality of the mattresses. Residents reported that the mattresses are hard, uncomfortable, and due to their deteriorated condition, they are unable to turn, reposition themselves, or sleep comfortably. LPAs and investigator observed that mattresses in question were not in good condition and presented with noticeable dents and signs of wear. Based on information gathered during the course of the investigation, there is sufficient evidence to determine that some beds had visible dents and signs of wear. Therefore, the above allegation “Staff do not ensure residents are provided a mattress in good condition” is deemed SUBSTANTIATED at this time.
Pursuant to Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations Division 6, Chapter 8, the following deficiencies were cited (refer to LIC 9099-D). Failure to correct the deficiencies may result in additional civil penalties.
Exit interview conducted, appeal rights discussed, and a copy of report issued. |
