| Facility staff did not maintain complete and accurate residents' records. - SUBSTANTIATED
It was reported that the facility could not locate a copy of a resident’s power of attorney (POA) and social security card when requested.
LPA reviewed: Resident Move in Record for R1 which includes their social security number. Resident Move in Record for R2 does not include their social security number.
Administrator stated that POA documents for the residents have not been submitted to the facility. The facility does not have a social security card on file for R1. R1’s pre-admission paperwork does include R1’s social security number but R2’s pre-admission paperwork does not.
Per Title 22 regulations POA documents and social security cards are not required to be included in a resident’s file. However, it is a regulatory requirement that each resident shall have their social security number included in their resident file. 1 of 2 resident files reviewed does not include their social security number. This allegation is substantiated.
Based on interviews and evidence obtained during the investigation, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore, the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, (Title 22), is being cited on the attached LIC9099D. Appeal rights were provided. Exit interview conducted and a copy of the report was provided to administrator Nicole Braswell.
