The administrator stated that as result of this event, the licensee suspended S1 until further notice. Interviews conducted with multiple clients revealed that caregivers are generally kind, attentive and caring toward clients. However, several clients reported that S1 has displayed rude and impatient behavior when clients are not ready at the scheduled time for their appointments or when appointments take longer than expected. Clients stated that S1 occasionally becomes visibly upset or expresses frustration in these situations. At approximately 1 p.m., LPA conducted a phone interview with S1. During the conversation, S1 admitted to becoming upset at the doctor’s office because staff were taking too long to check in C1. S1 also stated that during this event, they became annoyed with C1 because C1 “wouldn’t stop yapping”. Based on the information obtained and reviewed, the Department has sufficient evidence to say the alleged violation occurred. Therefore, allegation “Staff did not treat resident with dignity or respect” is deemed Substantiated at this time.
Pursuant to Title 22, California Code of Regulations and/or CA Health and Safety Code, the following deficiencies were cited (refer to LIC 809-D.) Administrator was informed that failure to correct the deficiencies may result in civil penalties.
Exit interview conducted, appeal rights discussed, and a copy of this report and appeal rights were provided.
