32 | Allegation: Staff not transporting resident(s) to scheduled appointments.
It was alleged that facility staff are not transporting R1 to their scheduled appointments. To investigate this allegation, LPAs conducted an interview with the Administrator and were informed that R1 was transferred to this facility from Santa Barbara County and R1’s insurance was not transferable from county to county. In order for R1 to be seen by a doctor in Los Angeles County, the Administrator took R1 to Social Security Administration Office on 02/25/25. However, the representative was unable to assist and scheduled an appointment for 03/17/26. In a meanwhile, the Administrator contacted the Sanctuary Centers of Santa Barbara (CSB) and requested a zoom appointment for R1. The request was granted and the appointment was scheduled for 03/09/2026 at 2:00pm. LPA was informed that right before the telephonic visit, R1 informed the Administrator that he/she does not wish to attend the appointment and refused to connect to the zoom. LPA contacted the CSB and confirmed that due to R1’s refusal the appointment was canceled/rescheduled. Moreover, LPAs were informed that on 02/27/26 R1 was taken do Dr's office for a blood test, however, the doctor's office informed that the lab test must be done through Quest Diagnostics. S2 immediately drove to the Quest, but R1 refused to get out of the car. The following appointment was scheduled for 03/02/26, however, the blood test was again canceled due to the lack of R1's valid Identification. During today’s visit, LPAs also conducted interviews with three (4) residents and was informed that the staff always arranges and or provides transportation for all their doctor’s appointments. Three (3) residents interviewed expressed no concern regarding this allegation. Therefore, based on interviews and record reviews, this allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated, at this time.
Allegation: Staff yell at residents.
It was alleged that R1 asked for toilet paper and S1 got mad and yelled at R1. To investigate this allegation LPAs conducted an interview with the Administrator and two (2) staff members and all parties interviewed denied the above allegation. LPAs were informed that every morning and evening the staff conduct round checks to make sure all toilet supplies are intact and available for residents’ use. Three (3) out of four (4) residents interviewed expressed no concern regarding this allegation and confirmed that staff communicate appropriately. Residents reported that it is R1 who yells and causes disturbances, not staff. During today’s visit LPAs observed staff treating residents in a professional and respectful manner. Therefore, based on interviews and LPAs observation, this allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated, at this time.
