32 | On 09/01/2024, an incident occurred when R1 went out into the community and R1 was unable to find a way back to the facility. R1 contacted the staff at facility via telephone to request assistance to find R1s way back to the facility. Staff located R1 around three blocks away from the facility and brought R1 back to the facility. On 09/01/2024, staff reassessed R1 as a result of the 09/01/25 incident, staff determined to place R1 in memory care services to prevent R1 from getting lost in the community and updated R1’s needs and services plan. R1’s additional charges for memory care services included additional charges for wearing a wander guard device that alerts staff in the event that R1 attempts to leave the facility. It was observed that R1 signed the agreement/form titled “Health and Wellness Review” and on 09/03/25, staff notified R1’s family member via email of the form being signed by R1. Since the 09/01/25 incident, the facility reports incidents where staff observed R1 wandering around the facility and knocking on doors to other residents’ room and pulling the facility’s fire alarm. As a result of R1 being lost in the community, and R1 being confused, the facility placed R1 in memory care services for R1’s health and safety. LPA reviewed R1s signed admission agreement dated 08/28/24, which R1 signed on 09/09/24, and LPA observed, under section B of R1s admissions agreement, that the facility is able to terminate the admission agreement for residents’ failure to pay monthly fees. Based upon the investigation, residents and staff interviews, document reviews, and LPA observations, there is no evidence to support that the facility staff are threatening a resident, the investigation revealed that R1 was given an eviction notice which complies with Title 22 regulations.
Regarding allegation: Staff had resident sign a document without resident's authorized representative present. It is alleged that a resident #1 (R1) cannot speak or read English and the facility staff did not ensure that R1 had an authorized representative present when the R1 signed the notice for additional memory care services, which included new monthly fee charges.
Investigation consisted of interviews with staff, residents and review of R1 facility file, including an Health and Wellness Review dated 08/16/2024 (Initial assessment) and 09/01/2024 (Facility Reassessment), and R1’s physician report dated 08/21/2024.
