Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

The allegation revealed the following. For allegation: (Illegal eviction) It is being alleged that a resident was dropped off at the hospital and was not able to return to the facility due to needing a higher level of care. RP revealed during an interview with LPA Cardenas that the resident was admitted to the hospital on 10/05/20 due to pain and a wound not healing. According to the RP, R1 was admitted to ER on 10/1/2020 due to un-stage able wound and discharged on 10/02/2020 with the wounds in the same stage on from most recent visit and the facility took him back. The RP also revealed that on 9/26/2020 RP went to Cedar Sinai and then transferred to Kaiser. During that time R1’s had an unstageable pressure wound on the right heel. The administrator Joy Alvarado revealed to LPA during her interview that R1 was not evicted. The administrator stated that on 10/02/2020 the facility received a call from a Kaiser doctor stating that R1 was ready to be discharged. At that time, the Facility suggested for R1 to go to the skilled center due to Home Health Care not being able to heal the wound. R1’s family member revealed during an interview LPA Cardenas that R1 didn’t receive an eviction notice and the facility decided that R1’s condition was prohibited and so they sent him to the hospital because of it. R1’s family member stated that the facility said they couldn’t take care of R1 nor take him back until his wounds was healed. The administrator revealed to LPA Cardenas that a reassessment was not done on R1 indicating that his wound was getting worse and the facility was unable to treat it nor did the administrator contact R1’s family regarding his condition. Based on LPAs observations and interviews which were conducted and the records that were reviewed, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation(s) is found to be substantiated. California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division (6) and Chapter (8) are being cited on the attached LIC 9099D. A exit interview was conducted with Administrator, Bernice Pulanco and a copy of this report was provided.
