Complaint·July 8, 2025

...continued from LIC9099C... The allegation refers to a power outage that occurred on 04/20/25. R1 stated that a Care staff did in fact come to check on him/her once or twice, but residents did not have any flashlights available in their rooms that were provided by the facility, and that the halls were dark. S3 stated that there were 30 existing lanterns and about 20 more were purchased; however, the facility’s census during that time was 161. Interviews with S1 and S3 confirmed that only lanterns were provided in the hallways, and all corridor lights stayed on for 90 minutes which included the flood lights and every other ceiling light on each floor. The residents' apartments are not equipped with back-up lighting. LPA reviewed the facility's Emergency Disaster Plan (EDP) on file and it states that flashlights would be provided to residents. Based on LPA’s interviews, observations, and records reviewed, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met; therefore, the above allegation is SUBSTANTIATED . Deficiency is cited from Title 22 California Code of Regulations and listed on LIC9099D. Failure to submit proof of correction by plan of correction due date, and any repeat violations within a 12-month period may result in civil penalties. Exit interview conducted, appeal rights and a copy of this report provided to Richard Pielstick, Executive Director.
