Regarding Allegation #1 : this investigation revealed based on interviews conducted of facility staff and residents in care (R2-R6) corroborated that the facility conducted proper COVID testing to keep their residents safe from contracting COVID during the first year; however, Resident #1 was never diagnosed with COVID. Residents and Staff are tested twice a week for COVID to date. LPA/RA Ceniceros reviewed Resident #1's " Physician Report " (dated 09/25/20). A review of Resident #1's " Pre - placement Appraisal Information " form (dated 11/21/20) was completed and signed by Resident #1's Power of Attorney for Advance Health Care Directive documented under " Health History " (dated 11/21/20) documented: "UTI Infections" prior to Resident #1 being admitted to the facility on 12/01/20. Resident #1 moved out of the facility on 12/29/20 due to hospitalization for a diagnosis that the resident had once transferred from a skilled-nursing facility to the assisted-living facility on 12/01/20. Based on the evidence gathered and interviews conducted and records reviewed, although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur; therefore, the allegation of NEGLECT/LACK OF SUPERVISION: Resident contracted infections while in care resulting in hospitalization is found to be UNSUBSTANTIATED. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of the Complaint Report provided to Staff #1: Marili Barrajas, Office Manager.
