32 | It was alleged that Resident #1 (R1)’s needs and services appraisal was not signed by R1’s responsible parties and that facility staff did not involve R1’s responsible parties in developing the appraisal. LPA reviewed R1’s needs and services appraisal which was completed and signed by Administrator Anderson on 05/28/2024. The appraisal was complete and addressed R1’s socialization, emotional, mental, physical/health, and functioning skills needs and objectives. Per interviews, Administrator reviewed the appraisal with R1’s responsible parties and a formal meeting was scheduled to further review and address concerns specifically regarding dementia care. On 07/12/2024, Administrators Anderson and Dylan Hull, along with two (2) responsible parties for R1 were present, either in-person or telephonically, to discuss the appraisal. One (1) responsible party agreed to the care plan and gave verbal consent over the phone, while the other responsible party present did not sign the care plan. Administrator Hull signed the needs and services appraisal on 07/12/2024. Per interviews, responsible parties agreed to the care that was specified in the appraisal. Administrator was knowledgeable in preplacement and appraisal protocol. LPA also reviewed R1’s pre-placement appraisal signed by all parties (Administrator Anderson and R1’s responsible party) and dated 5/20/2024 and R1’s resident appraisal signed by all parties and dated 05/28/2024 which document the elements of care in R1’s needs and services appraisal. Based on interviews and record review, the information obtained during the investigation does not have sufficient evidence to corroborate the allegation. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the above allegation “Facility did not involve the prospective resident or his/her responsible person, in the development of the appraisal” is deemed UNSUBSTANTIATED at this time.
It was further alleged that the preadmission fee was not properly disclosed to R1’s responsible parties. LPA reviewed R1’s admission agreement signed by R1’s responsible party and dated 05/21/2024 which documents preadmission fee disclosures on page 4 of 17. Under “PRE-ADMISSION FEE (Section 87507(g)(5)(E)(1)” the admission agreement states, “Select Senior Living requires a non-refundable Pre-Admission Fee (aka Community Fee) equal to the first month total on or before admission. This Fee covers the costs incurred by Select Senior Living to process your application and other materials, including your physician's report, perform a pre-admission appraisal, functional assessments, develop your care plan, and admit you to the Community. The Pre-Admission Fee is not a security deposit or last month payment. It is refundable in whole or in part under the following conditions…”
