Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Javina George made an unannounced case management deficiencies visit as LPA was delivering findings for complaint control # 18-AS-20230803114230 and observed the following deficiency. The facility admitted (accepted responsibility) for Resident #1 (R1) on or around August 3, 2023. Per interviews with Administrator Jamie Teng, there is a contract or agreement with a local skilled nursing facility (SNF) to discharge residents from the SNF to the facility. However, the facility is accepting residents without properly screening them, as well as not completing the evaluation of suitability for admission. The evaluation consists of: (1) Conduct an interview with the applicant and his responsible person. (2) Perform a pre-admission appraisal. (3) Obtain and evaluate a recent medical assessment). As a result of the facility not properly screening new residents. R1 was admitted to the facility and began exhibiting aggressive behaviors such as banging their head against the wall, and trying to throw furniture. As a result the facility had to contact 9-11 to assist, and have R1 removed without returning to the facility. This poses a potential health, safety and personal rights risk to persons in care. The following is being cited in accordance with the California Code of Regulations (Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8). An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report, and appeal rights were reviewed and provided to Administrator Jamie Teng.
