Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

(Continuation of LIC9099) During the investigation, LPA spoke with staff and residents who confirmed that there has been yelling occurring at the facility. According to residents (R1, R2, and R5), S1 has yelled at resident(s). According to R4, they have not heard yelling but acknowledged that S1 is always rushed and in a hurry. According to staff, they confirmed that they do yell in a different language but towards each other, S1 and S2, and not to residents. S1 said that they only spoke with R3 regarding their incontinence and not to defecate on their bed. Resident records show that R1, R2, R4, and R5’s mental conditions are good, and they are able to follow instructions and communicate their needs and are not confused or disoriented. LPA’s observations of the residents were coherent and sound of mind. They all spoke clearly during their interviews. Based on the Department’s investigation of the above-mentioned allegation and the evidence obtained during staff and resident interviews, records reviewed, and LPA observations, there is sufficient evidence to meet the preponderance of evidence standard. Therefore, the above allegation is deemed to be substantiated. California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8, is being cited on the attached LIC9099-D page of this report. The report was discussed, plan of correction was jointly developed, and an exit interview was conducted with Licensee Cheryl Castro. A copy of this report along with Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC9058 3/22) were provided to Licensee Castro at the conclusion of the visit. The signature below confirms the receipt of these documents.
