The ED reported that multiple attempts were made over the past two years to contact the POA, who resides out of state, with no success. Facility records show several reports of suspected elder financial abuse and abandonment by the POA were submitted to appropriate agencies. The ED also notified relevant outside agencies of the eviction. Due to R1’s cognitive condition, staff and outside sources confirmed R1 is unable to make informed decisions regarding their care or housing. The facility has been unable to locate current contact information for R1’s POA or family. On September 25, 2025, the ED pursued legal action and filed a Notice to Quit. On November 7, 2025, the Sheriff’s Department issued a notice to vacate, and further attempts were made to notify the POA. Based on interviews and record reviews, the facility followed proper procedures in accordance with California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8, and continued to provide care and supervision to R1. Therefore, the allegation is unfounded. An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of this report and the Licensee Appeal Rights (LIC 9058) was provided to ED Watkins. Her signature on this report acknowledges receipt of both documents.
