Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Magdaleno arrived unannounced to continue a Complaint Investigation and deliver findings regarding the above allegations and met with Administrator, Morgan Whinery.

Personal Rights – Reporting Party (RP) alleges that resident (R1) has been placed in facility and memory care without their consent. RP further alleges that R1 does not meet requirements for memory care and is being kept against their wishes without access to communication devices or visitors. During this investigation LPA made observations, reviewed records, and conducted interviews. Review of Admission Agreement indicated that R1 signed their own Admission Agreement without the signature of a responsible party. Review of R1 LIC602 – Physician Report for Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly dated 3/7/2025 indicated that R1 did not have a diagnosis of dementia and is able to leave facility unassisted as well as care for their own Activities of Daily Living (ADLs). Review of Physician’s Change of Capacity letter for R1 dated 8/22/2025 declared that R1 “is incapable of caring for himself/herself and is physically and mentally incapable of managing his/her own financial affairs or making medical decisions”.

Interview with R1 indicated that they do not believe they belong in memory care but are otherwise happy with treatment at the facility. Interviews with Administrator indicated that R1 was initially a resident of Assisted Living and was moved into memory care based on increased behaviors, reassessment, and at the request of R1’s Power of Attorney (POA). Review of R1 POA paperwork indicated that POA is able to make medical decisions, including placement in nursing home, for R1 upon physician declaration of R1 being incapable of making own decisions. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation(s) did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated.

No deficiencies cited. Exit interview conducted with Administrator, whose signature on form confirms receipt.
