25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Valeria Conway conducted a Case Management - Deficiencies visit in conjunction with a complaint visit (Complaint Control #29-AS-20240429125818). The purpose of the visit is to issue citations for deficiencies observed during the initial complaint investigation unrelated to the complaint. During today’s visit, LPA met with Alla Harutunyan and the reason for the visit was explained.
During the course of the investigation, it was discovered that Resident #1(R1) was admitted to facility on 04/19/2024, following discharge from a medical center where they were treated for a bone infection and R1 had a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) and was prescribed the antibiotic Daptomycin, which was administered by a home health nurse. However, based on record review facility did not obtain an exception request from the Department prior to accepting/retaining R1 who had a prohibited health condition. Additionally, record review reflected that facility did not conduct a pre-placement appraisal, Needs and service plan, and home health admission folder/records prior to R1’s admission to the facility. Administrator stated that they did not consider it necessary to evaluate R1 because R1 was not an elderly person, and the hospital the resident was coming from was located far from the facility.
Pursuant to Title 22, California Code of Regulations and/or CA Health and Safety Code, the following deficiencies were cited (refer to LIC 809-D.) Administrator was informed that failure to correct the deficiencies may result in civil penalties.
Exit interview conducted, appeal rights discussed, and a copy of this report and appeal rights were provided.
