25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Ashley Smith conducted a Case Management - Deficiencies visit due to deficiencies discovered during the investigation of complaint control number 29-AS-20220708092257. The LPA met with Executive Director Chris Andersen and explained the reason for the visit.
During the course of the investigation, it was revealed that on 07/06/2022, Staff #1 (S1) pressed their body against Resident #1 (R1) in an attempt to restrict R1’s movement and to stop R1 from hitting them. This incident took place while S1 was assisting R1 with a shower. At that time, S1 did not ask for additional assistance in showering R1, although staff was aware of R1’s agitation prior to assisting R1 with a shower. As a result of this incident, management has noted that R1 now requires a two-person assist for showers.
S1’s behavior of pressing their body against R1 in an attempt to restrict their movement is a personal rights violation. S1 could have attempted different interventions to assist R1 by way of practicing non-physical intervention methods.
Pursuant to Title 22, California Code of Regulations, the following deficiency is cited (refer to LIC 809-D).
Exit interview conducted, appeal rights discussed, and a copy of this report issued. |
