Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

Licensing Program Analysts (LPA’s) Mariana Agban and Evelin Rios conducted a Case Management - Deficiency visit in conjunction to Complaint Control Number 31-AS-20251024154115. LPAs were granted access by caregiver and met with Assistant Administrator, Sean V. Abalajon shortly after. LPAs explained the reason for the visit. During the physical plant inspection, LPA Rios observed medications stored in two (2) of the six (6) resident bedrooms. A review of all six (6) residents’ records revealed that Resident #2’s (R2’s) Physician’s Report (LIC 602) indicates R2 as unable to manage or store their own medications. Resident #3 (R3) had an incomplete LIC 602 that did not specify whether they are capable of storing their own medications. In an interview, the Assistant Administrator stated that R2 “chooses” to keep their medications, and there for the facility allows it. They also informed LPA Rios that R3 has a diagnosis that could pose a health and safety risk if R3 were given access to their medications. During the physical plant tour, LPA Rios observed a medication organizer in R2’s bedroom, as well as another organizer in the facility’s medication cabinet. Several small containers filled with various pills were also observed. According to the Assistant Administrator, medications for Residents #1 (R1) and R2 are arranged in weekly organizers due to the volume of medications they require. For the four (4) other residents, medications are placed into small containers labeled “AM” and “PM” to provide scheduled medication. A review of the facility’s medication management policy revealed that all medications are required to be locked, centrally stored, and kept inaccessible to residents. Additionally, the policy states that medications must be prepared by staff in a medication cup one hour prior to administration, in accordance with physician orders. (Continue to LIC809-C) (Continued from LIC809) During the backyard physical plant inspection, LPAs observed that two gates providing access to a filled pool were unlocked and left open. In an interview, the Assistant Administrator revealed that the facility had hosted a gathering about three weeks ago and had forgotten to close the gates since then. An interview with the Assistant Administrator revealed that R3 began receiving hospice services following an incident that required emergency medical attention. However, a review of the Woodland Hills Regional Office files by LPA Rios showed that no incident report had been submitted regarding this event. The Assistant Administrator was uncertain about the date of the incident, and R3’s hospice folder lacked documentation indicating the start of care. Additionally, the LPA was unable to locate a Hospice Notification. Deficiencies cited (Refer to LIC809-D). Exit Interview Conducted / A Copy of the Report was provided to Assistant Administrator.
