Follow-up on corrections·May 3, 2023

On 5/3/2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Murial Han conducted a case management visit to deliver the findings of a case management visit that was conducted on 4/25/2023. LPA Han met with memory care director and explained the purpose of the visit. On 4/12/2023, facility report an abuse allegation that staff #1 (S1) witnessed staff #2 (S2) of blocking resident #1 (R1) from leaving one of the pods and punching R1's abdominal area with small pink dumbbells. S1 reported that this incident happened on 4/4/2023 but S1 did not reported it to the facility director until 4/12/2023. When the facility director was notified of the incident, the facility took actions to ensure R1's safety, however, due to the late reporting from S1, the facility director acknowledged that the alleged abuser was assigned to care for R1 one more time before he/she was placed on administrative leave. In addition, based on S1's training records from 11/13/2022, it did not indicated that S1 received training on Abuse and Neglect and the facility director was not able to provide additional training records beyond 11/13/2022. Based on the complaint investigation, the facility did not ensure R1's safety as S1 did not report the incident until 8 days later and facility did not ensure S1 received required training. Deficient is cited under California Code of Regulations, Title, 22 cited on the LIC 809D. Failure to correct the deficiencies may result in civil penalties. Report was discussed with memory care director. A copy of this report and the Appeal Rights is provided.
