CONTINUED FROM FORM LIC9099 During today's visit, LPA requested to obtain the facility's current census. A tour of the physical plant and unit assigned to resident R1 was additionally conducted. Regarding the allegation that Facility did not respond to resident's call for help in a timely manner, the following has been concluded: In the early hours of January 18, 2023, resident R1 suffered a fall incident in his bedroom at the facility. The fall occurred in the interval between two rounds being conducted, between the hours of 1:40am and 5:00am as certified in the log maintained by staff to document resident checks by the overnight staff. The exact time of occurrence could not be assessed from the evidence gathered. Resident R1 was found by staff member S1 and assisted back into bed. Later that day, resident kept displaying signs of pain, which led to 911 being called. Resident R1 was assessed at the facility and transported to the Emergency Department at UCI Hospital before being released to a Skilled Nursing Facility with a diagnosis of a compression fracture of the seventh thoracic vertebra. At the time of the present visit, the resident is stated to have been admitted back into the facility and appears to be doing well. The evidence gathered did not allow to make a precise determination of the time interval between the fall and assistance being provided to the resident. As a result, the allegation is deemed to be Unsubstantiated, meaning that 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. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report was provided and left to facility representative.
