Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Ashley Smith conducted an unannounced Case Management-Deficiencies inspection visit at the facility today due to deficiencies observed during the investigation of complaint control # 29-AS-20220826125755. It was mentioned that Resident #2 (R2) had extensive care needs that were not communicated or discovered until R2 was admitted to the facility. The LPA audited R2’s file during today’s visit and noted that R2 was admitted on 8/20/2022 yet was assessed on 8/18/2022 and was deemed appropriate. However, despite what is documented on R2’s care plan as needing two people to assist with care and transfers, interviews and a review of End Of Shift Notes confirm that R2 oftentimes need more than two persons to safely assist R2. In addition, R2’s physician’s report dated 8/16/2022 indicated that R2 needs assistance with all activities of daily living. However, there were inconsistent statements shared regarding whether R2 can feed themselves. In this case, retaining R2 would be considered prohibited at this time if R2 needs assistance with all activities of daily living. R2's medical assessment and care plan do not accurately reflect R2's needs at this time. Pursuant to Title 22 of the CA Code of Regulations, the following deficiencies were cited (refer to LIC 809-D): Exit interview conducted. A copy of the report and appeal rights were provided.
