complaint·July 10, 2025

On 7/10/2025 LPA visited the facility unannounced to open the complaint. LPA met with licensee Tito Andrada and Tito Andrada, Jr. LPA and staff discussed the situation. Resident R1 had lived in the facility for many years. Recently R1 suffered a medical emergency and was sent to the ER. Subsequently, it was decided the resident would need to be on hospice services. Since the facility does not have a hospice waiver, the Responsible Party for R1 was told R1 could not return to the facility on hospice, and the home cannot care for R1. The home does not wish to pursue requesting a hospice waiver at this time. CCL cannot force a facility to request a hospice waiver, especially if the facility does not feel this is a service that they could adequately provide for the safety and well-being of a resident. However, since R1 was deemed ready for discharge from the hospital, and the facility did say they could not take R1 back, a proper eviction notice was technically not given. Therefore, the allegation is Substaniated. A finding of Substantiated means that the allegation is valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met. A deficiency is issued as per Title 22 Regulations and the Health and Safety Code. Appeal Rights were provided, exit interview conducted.
