25 | At approximately 12:05PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Felias arrived unannounced to continue a Required 1 Year visit and met with Administrator, Jolly Carungcong. Upon arrival, LPA was informed that there were 18 Residents in care and 6 staff members on-site.
At approximately 12:15PM, LPA reviewed the Facility's Staff Roster and found that all staff on-site were background cleared and associated to the facility per regulation. LPA followed up on self-reported incidents that were submitted to Community Care Licensing (CCL).
Incident Report 1/SOC-341: CCL received an incident report and SOC-341 on 04/25/2023 and 04/26/2023. The incident report states that on 04/19/2023, Resident 1 (R1) informed Hospice personnel that Staff Member 1 (S1) slapped their leg when they were providing care with Staff Member 2 (S2). Hospice Personnel observed no bruising or visible injury to R1's leg and reported the conversation to Facility's Executive Director. Executive Director conducted an internal investigation. During investigation, R1 reported to Executive Director that Staff Member 3 (S3) was present during the incident. Executive Director conducted interviews with staff members involved and found that on the night of 04/19/2023, S3 was working with S1 and S2 but was not in the room when they were providing care. S3 entered R1's room at a later time to put away laundry. Report continued to state that R1 required a two person assist when provided care, and did not like being changed as their hips hurt. Internal Investigation resulted in facility re-assigning S1 and S2 to different residents. Facility made all appropriate notifications per regulation.
LPA discussed R1 with Administrator. Review of R1's Physician Report stated that R1 is bedridden and has a diagnosis of Mild Cognitive Impairment. Review of R1's Care Plan stated that R1 needs assistance with their care and is also being provided hospice services.
Per conversation with Administrator, R1 has not had any allegations of abuse since April 2023. Facility reassigned staff members to ensure that R1's preferences are taken into consideration for who provides their care. R1 has had no further complaints regarding their care.
