At 3:20 p.m. on 12/21/2022, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Nicholas Reed conducted an unannounced case management visit. LPA met with Administrator and disclosed the reason for the visit. Today’s case management visit pertained to Resident #1 (R1) and their choice to leave or remain at the facility. LPA spoke with the Administrator over the phone about the matter at 4:13 p.m. on 12/19/2022. LPA called R1’s daughter-in-law and Durable Power of Attorney (DPOA) at 3:16 p.m. on 12/20/2022 to obtain more information. Today, LPA attempted to interview R1. The Administrator noted R1 left with family around 1:00 p.m. on 12/20/2022. LPA conducted a record review and interviewed the Administrator at 3:45 p.m. From interview, R1 told the Administrator from 12/17/2022 to 12/20/2022 that they would rather die than leave the facility. The Administrator noted R1's episodes of crying about the issue. From record review, the DPOA was listed as R1's responsible person and emergency contact, however they did not provide documentation of their DPOA status until 12/20/2022. Based on record review and interviews, the Administrator regarded R1's personal rights and choice to remain at the facility until the DPOA discharged R1. During today's inspection, the facility is in compliance with Title 22 regulations. No citations issued. Exit interview conducted. Copy of report provided.
