Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

(continued from LIC9099) It is alleged that the Licensee did not provide records to R1's responsible party upon request.  Records reviews of written correspondence reveal that R1's responsible party requested R1's medical records, including a wound care document and progress notes, after an incident involving R1 on 2/13/2022.  R1's responsible party further reports that after they verbally requested the records, two emails were sent, a few weeks apart,  to the executive director requesting copies of R1's records. On 3/18/2022, the executive director provided some documents, but not the requested documents.  It was further reported that R1's responsible party contacted the executive director by phone, and they denied having any wound care notes or progress notes for R1. I was also alleged that the Licensee staff did not notify the resident’s responsible party of an incident.  The department interviews with staff revealed that R1 was involved in an incident on 2/13/2022 that caused injury to their arms and hands. After the incident, the condition of R1 was not communicated in writing to R1 responsible person.   Based on a review of records and multiple interviews with staff, there was sufficient information to determine a written report was not submitted to the licensing agency and to the person responsible for the resident within seven days of the occurrence. It was also alleged that the licensee staff did not update R1 records to reflect the incident on 2/13/2022.  A review of written correspondence dated 3/24/2022 reveals that R1's reporting person requested a file review and was physically shown a file that did not contain documentation for R1's incident on 2/13/2022 or any other relevant documentation. The department requested records for R1 on 2/15/2022 and did not receive records of illness, injury, medical or dental care, or information on R1's function or needs. Based on interviews with staff, records review and written statements to CLL, a preponderance of evidence exists supporting that Licensee staff did not provide records to resident's responsible person, did not notify resident’s responsible person of an incident, and did not update resident's records. The allegation is, therefore, Substantiated. Three (3) deficiencies were cited per the California Code of Regulations, Title 22 (refer to the LIC 9099-D pages). A Plan of Correction was jointly developed with the Licensee and their staff.. An exit interview was conducted with Administrator Nora Garza, to whom a copy of this report, the LIC 9099-D pages, and the Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC9058 03/22) were provided.
