(continued from LIC 9099) During the course of the investigation, Investigator Spindola interviewed the Assistant Administrator, staff and family member on different dates and time from 05/13/21 to 07/17/21. IB Investigator Spindola also reviewed Hospital Records on 05/24/21 and 07/07/21 and Los Angeles Sheriff Department (LASD)’s record on 07/09/21. Regarding the allegation that lack of care and supervision resulting to dehydration, IB Spindola’s hospital record review on 05/24/21 revealed that during these hospitalization of R1 due to fall on 03/15/21 and 04/02/21 R1 was diagnosed by the hospital with Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) and again was diagnosed with UTI on 04/30/21 when hospitalized due to another fall. IB Investigator Spindola’s interview with staff on 05/17/21 revealed that R1 used to drink a lot of water before but since R1 declined, R1 had limited intake. LPA’s interview with three (3) care staff who used to care for R1 on 03/26/22, revealed R1 was regularly provided with liquids for hydration, including water, juice and/or soda during R1’s stay at the facility. Based on the information gathered during the course of the investigation, there is an insufficient information to support the allegation. Therefore, the allegation is deemed unsubstantiated at this time. Exit interview conducted and report issued.
