(continued from LIC 9099) LPA's interview with the administrator today at 11:45 AM also revealed that R1 was not receiving hospice or home health services prior to R1's last hospitalization on 08/23/23. Regarding the allegation that Facility refuses to accept the resident back from the hospital, it was alleged that R1's family member feels that R1 is being discriminated against for contracting COVID while at the facility as they are now refusing R1 to return. LPA's interview with the administrator on 08/30/23 at 1:05 PM and today at 11:45 AM, revealed that it was the family member who did not return R1 to the facility and moved to another facility. Further, R1 had contracted Covid initially on 08/17/23 and was brought to the hospital via 911. R1 returned the next day to the facility. R1 was again brought to the hospital on 08/23/23 due to shortness of breath, confusion, and agitation. The administrator denied refusing to accept R1 back at the facility and was willing to accept the resident but suggested R1 to be further evaluated by Kaiser Hospital due to R1's continued decline and may require hospice of home health services to attend to R1's medical needs, if any. Based on the information gathered during this and prior visit, the allegations are deemed unsubstantiated at this time. Exit interview conducted. Copy of this report issued.
