32 | It was alleged that on Sunday 05/09/2021, there was insufficient staffing at the facility. LPA spoke with staff who were scheduled to work that day. Review of staff schedule showed that for the day shift, AL had one med tech scheduled and one caregiver scheduled. Memory Care had 2 caregivers scheduled as well as 1 med tech scheduled during the day shift. During the pm shift, there was no caregiver scheduled in AL and one med tech scheduled. For the Memory Care side during the pm shift, there were 3 caregivers scheduled and one med tech scheduled. However, interview revealed that staff had called out for their shifts. Staff interviews revealed the facility is understaffed, many staff call out and remaining staff are asked to work double shifts. Staff interview revealed that beginning at 06:00AM on 05/09/2021 for about 2 and 1/2 hours there was only one caregiver present in memory care. There was a med tech present, but only one caregiver. During this time period, one resident sustained a fall, resulting in injury and emergency services needed. Interview revealed that in memory care there are 2 residents that require a 2-person assist and there were 16 residents in Memory Care at that time. Interview also revealed that there was only a med tech present in Assisted Living during the day shift. One caregiver was present from 8:00AM until 2:00PM on 05/09/2021, but at 2:00PM, the caregiver left and the med tech was alone with the residents. Interview revealed a maintenance person remained at the facility to assist the residents, however the maintenance staff is not trained for caregiving needs. There are 3 or 4 residents in Assisted Living that require a 2-person assist. Therefore, based on interview and record review, the allegation that "Facility staffing is not adequate to meet residents needs" is deemed SUBSTANTIATED at this time.
Pursuant to Title 22 CA Code of Regulations, the following deficiency was cited (refer to LIC 9099-D). Exit interview conducted. A copy of the report was provided via email. |
