Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

Allegation: Staff did not follow proper eviction procedures It was alleged that staff did not follow proper eviction procedures. This investigation consisted of interviews with facility staff, and resident (R1) responsible party. On 12/19/2025 LPA spoke with the facility licensee who stated that resident (R1) was not evicted from the facility and left the facility because their health care needs were greater than the level of care offered by the facility. Interview with resident (R1) responsible party reflected that the R1 health care needs exceeded the services the facility could provide, and the decision to move the resident was made in the residents best interest after determining that the resident required a higher level of care. Furthermore, R1’s responsible party stated that the facility did not evict the resident from the facility. This allegation could not be corroborated due to lack of information and evidence therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated. The investigation revealed the preponderance of evidence standards have not been met; therefore, the above allegations are found to be UNSUBSTANTIATED . A finding that the complaint allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED means that although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred. This was observed not in compliance with Title 22 regulation 87465(h)(2) Incidental Medical and Dental Care. As the facility did not ensure that residents medication were safely stored and safeguarded, which resulted in medications being missing from the facility. As a result, this allegation is SUBSTANTIATED . A finding that the complaint is substantiated means that the allegations are valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met. Deficiencies cited on the LIC 9099-D, per Title 22 Regulations. An exit interview was conducted with Kimberly and Joseline and a copy of the LIC 9099, LIC 9099-D pages and appeal rights were provided to facility.
