Regarding the allegation, the Licensee did not ensure that the staff were associated with the facility. More specifically, Staff #1 does not have Department background clearance and is employed at the facility. It was discovered through Department interviews with staff and residents, as well as records reviews. Staff #1 (S1) is currently employed at the facility. Review of the Department’s background clearance database revealed S1 was not associated to the facility and did not have a background clearance. Based on the evidence obtained, the deficiency was cited in an LIC 9099-D form. An immediate five-hundred-dollar ($500) civil penalty was assessed in an LIC 421BG form.
Regarding the allegation, Licensee did not keep medications stored in their original packaging. More specifically, It was reported that staff fill medication containers designated for residents and place the medications into 7-day pill organizers. During the facility tour LPA observed medications being stored in plastic containers with different sections for morning, noon, evening, and bed time. An interview with Staff #2 (S2) revealed that S2 transfers medications into the corresponding time residents are supposed to receive their medication. These medications were not stored in the original medication packages. LPA explained to the licensee that medications must not be transferred into different containers in this way and in accordance with licensing guidelines must stay in their original packaging. Based on evidence obtained , the licensee did not store medication in original containers, the deficiency was cited in an LIC 9099-D
Based on relevant interviews and records review, the preponderance of evidence has been met that alleged violation(s) occurred and are therefore substantiated. Deficiencies are cited per California Code of Regulations, Title 22 (refer to the attached LIC 9099-D) and an immediate civil penalty was assessed.
A Plan of Correction was jointly developed with the licensee. An exit interview was conducted with Licensee Lisa Sayre, to whom a copy of this report, the LIC811 Confidential Names List, and the Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC9058 03/22) were provided. |
