32 | LPA investigated the allegation, “Facility staff did not provide timely medical care.” Based on interviews and documentation provided, on April 19,2025, R1 sustained a fall and licensee stated staff were instructed to call 911 within minutes. However, the incident report submitted to LPA recorded conflicting information. R1 fell in the bedroom, not in the activity area and R1 complained of knee pain. Documentation revealed that medical attention was not called for more than one hour after the fall. The inconsistencies between the licensee’s oral statements and the written reports demonstrated inaccurate documentation and delayed medical intervention.
LPA investigated the allegation, “Facility staff did not allow resident return following hospital discharge.” Based on interviews and documentation provided, on April 23, 2025, R1 was medically cleared for discharge from the hospital and approved for home health services. Based on records reviewed, it was confirmed that R1 was fit to return to the facility. During an interview, licensee noted that R1 was never told that they could not return but stated based on their observation of R1 it was determined that R1’s level of care was beyond what the facility could provide. The facility’s decision to deny reentry, despite medical clearance, constituted an unlawful eviction. The violation will result in a Repeat Violation. An Immediate Civil Penalty will be issued.
Based on LPAs observations and interviews which were conducted and record review, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegations are found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, Title 22, and the California Health and Safety Code are cited on the attached LIC9099-D.
An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of the report and appeal rights were provided.
