Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kevin Gould conducted an unannounced Case Management visit at Eskaton Gold River Lodge on 9/2/22 at 9:20am to address concerns regarding resident who expired on 5/30/22. LPA Gould met with Neal Torres and together discussed the departments findings regarding the resident’s death. The department conducted interviews with 5 staff members, 4 residents and family of deceased resident. The Department also conducted review or resident file including incident reports dated 5/30/22, resident progress notes dated 5/14/22. Physician’s report (LIC 602) dated 1/28/22, Resident functional evaluation dated 3/11/22, Admission Agreement dated 1/28/22. Pre-Placement appraisal dated 1/24/22. Based on the interviews and documents obtained during the investigation process, the department has determined the facility, upon being informed of R1’s intentions of self-harm by R1’s family member on 5/14/22, did not have R1 re-evaluated once staff were informed of a change in mental condition. Additionally, staff who was informed of R1’s suicidal ideation did not notify additional staff members. The department has determined the facility did not adequately address the concerns by reassessing R1 and implementing a suicide intervention plan to include frequency of health checks for R1. The department has also determined, upon discovery of R1 in distress, staff who discovered R1 did not immediately contact 911 and sought additional staff support which may have delayed emergency medical personnel in providing emergency medical care to R1. Per California Code of Regulations, Title 22, the following deficiencies and immediate civil penalty have been issued. The circumstances of this Case Management are being evaluated for enhanced civil penalties. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report and appeal rights were left at the facility.
