INVESTIGATION REVEALED THE FOLLOWING:

Allegation #3: Staff are barricading the residents while in care.

The complaint alleges that the staff at the facility barricaded Resident #1 (R1) while in care. It is reported that (R1) is unable to leave the facility, as the doors are secured with chains. No additional details were provided regarding this situation.

On August 09, 2025, between 10:00 AM and 01:30 PM, the Department interviewed the residents identified as Resident #1 through Resident #7 (R1-R7). Seven (7) out of the seven (7) residents were not able to corroborate this claim. (R2-R7) asserted that the facility's doors are not secured with chains, which restricts their ability to leave the premises. Furthermore, no residents are prohibited from leaving the facility.

(R1) firmly stated that this claim is invalid. (R1) confirmed (R1's) independence and said that (R1) can leave the facility unattended. (R1) expressed the ability to be independent and continued to drive a vehicle without any restrictions on leaving the premises.

On August 09, 2025, between 09:00 AM and 03:30 PM, the Department interviewed the staff identified as Staff #1 through Staff #6 (S1-S6). Six (6) out of the six (6) staff members were not able to validate this claim. (S1-S6) stated (R1) is independent and can leave the facility no assistance. According to (S1-S3), (R1) enjoys the liberty of exploring various rooms within the premises freely. The environment is open and accessible, there are no locked chains on the doors that would serve as barriers. (R1) has the freedom to leave the facility with no assistance at any time without any restrictions.

As a result of review of Resident #1 (R1's) Physicians Report LIC 624A (dated 09/19/24 & 01/05/23) revealed the (R1) is able to leave the facility unassisted. A review of In Service/Meeting (dated 06/08/25) revealed all staff members have completed training on Personal Rights of Residents in Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly.

During the visit on August 9, 2025, the Department observed that the facility actively promotes the rights of its residents. The facility had posters detailing Resident Rights, Personal Rights, and the California Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly Complaint Poster prominently displayed throughout the premises. An inspection of the premises and (R1’s) room on August 10, 2025 and November 13, 2025 revealed no restricted chains on any doors.

INVESTIGATION REVEALED THE FOLLOWING:

Allegation #1: Staff forged a confidential document for a resident.

The complaint alleged that staff at the facility forged a confidential document for Resident #1 (R1), a life-sustaining form. This form, featuring signatures from both (R1) and the primary physician at the facility, was completed in April 2023. However, (R1) was only made aware of the forgery on October 19, 2023. No additional details were provided regarding this matter.

On August 09, 2025, between 10:00 AM and 01:30 PM, the Department interviewed the residents identified as Resident #1 through Resident #7 (R1-R7). Seven (7) out of the seven (7) residents were not able to validate this claim. (R2-R7) indicated they were aware of signing confidential records and had no issues or concerns with their confidential documents.

(R1) claimed that this assertion is false. Furthermore, (R1) confirmed that the signature on the Physician’s Order for Life Sustaining Treatment (POLST) form is indeed (R1’s) signature, eliminating any possibility of it being forged.

On August 09, 2025, between 09:00 AM and 03:30 PM, the Department interviewed the staff identified as Staff #1 through Staff #6 (S1-S6). Six (6) out of the six (6) staff members were not able to validate this claim. (S1-S3) indicated that (R1) was admitted to the facility without having a power of attorney, conservator, or public guardian representing (R1). (R1) signed all confidential agreement documents, including the life-sustaining record. (S1-S6) all claimed to have completed Personal Rights in Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFE).

A review of Resident #1 (R1's) Physician's Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment (POLST) (dated 04/06/23), Identification and Emergency Information LIC 601 (dated 01/04/23), Residential Care for Elderly Admission Agreement (dated 01/04/23), Admission Financial Agreement (dated 01/04/23), and Preplacement Appraisal LIC 603 (dated 07/28/22) revealed all had identical signature to (POLST). Further review of Physician's Orders (dated 06/26/25) listed (R1) is prescribed a total of (14) medications. It revealed that (12) out of the (14) medications have side effects of cognitive effects, depression, anxiety, confusion, or dizziness (ref: National Institute of Health). A review of In Service/Meeting (dated 06/08/25) revealed all staff members have completed training on Personal Rights of Residents in Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly.

During the visit on August 9, 2025, the Department observed that the facility actively promotes the rights of its residents. The facility had posters detailing Resident Rights, Personal Rights, and the California Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly Complaint Poster prominently displayed throughout the premises.

Based on the information gathered, there is not enough evidence to corroborate the allegation mentioned above.

Allegation #2: Staff are financially abusing a resident while in care.

The complaint alleges that the staff are financially abusing Resident #1 (R1). It has been reported that the facility's administrator is withholding (R1’s) money and checks, as well as (R1’s) bank statements. The administrator only provides (R1) with $100 in cash, while the remainder of the funds goes to the facility. No additional details were provided regarding this matter.

On August 09, 2025, between 10:00 AM and 01:30 PM, the Department interviewed the residents identified as Resident #1 through Resident #7 (R1-R7). Seven (7) out of the seven (7) residents were not able to support this claim. (R2-R7) stated that they had no issues or concerns regarding their financial matters, as the facility's administrators do not manage their finances.

(R1) asserted that the claim is incorrect. Additionally, (R1) stated that (R1) independently manages (R1’s) finances and that no one else has access to (R1’s) financial bank accounts.

On August 09, 2025, between 09:00 AM and 03:30 PM, the Department interviewed the staff identified as Staff #1 through Staff #6 (S1-S6). Six (6) out of the six (6) staff members were not able to support this claim. (S1-S3) indicated that (R1) self-admitted to Pico De Loro on January 4, 2023. They stated that the facility does not manage (R1's) finances; (R1's) rent expenses will be covered through (R1's) personal bank account. Additionally, the facility does not maintain any Personal and Incidental funds for (R1).

A review of Resident #1 (R1's) Physicians Report LIC 624A (dated 09/19/24 & 01/05/23) revealed that (R1) has the capacity for self-care and can manage cash resources. Further review of Rent Receipts (dated 01/01/23 through 07/31/23) validated that (R1) handles (R1’s) finances. A review of In Service/Meeting (dated 06/08/25) revealed all staff members have completed training on Personal Rights of Residents in Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly.
