Both residents were transported via ambulance. Further investigation and interview revealed that S1 did not utilize the emergency disaster protocol for temporary placement, and informed conservators to find residents new places to live as there was no intention of accepting residents back, and did not provide a written notice of eviction. Additionally, it was revealed that R1 received a verbal notice of eviction due to renovations in March 2025 without a formal written notice to accompany verbal notice per regulatory requirements. As a result, the preponderance of evidence standard is met, and this allegation is SUBSTANTIATED. Citation is issued under Title 22, Division 6 and noted on LIC 9099D. Civil penalty in the amount of $250 is issued in addition to citation due to repeat violation of Section 87224(a) within a 12-month period. An exit interview was conducted with S1 and a copy of this report was provided. Appeal rights and LIC 811 provided. Record reviews revealed that a prescription for Triamcinolone cream was given on 4-24-2024 to treat an observed rash. Records also reveal that R1 was seen by physician on 6-24-2024 for a check up at which time itchiness and rash were observed and treated. Medication Triamcinolone was increased in strength during this visit. An additional prescription for Triamcinolone was prescribed on 10-25-2024. Record review further indicated R1 was seen by physician on 10-30-2024 for a follow up and noted with Erythema and lesion on multiple parts of body. Medication Temovate was started during this visit. Interviews conducted revealed R1 was given medication as prescribed. LPA reviewed medication prescription orders as part of documentation review. Additional interviews revealed that on later part of March 2025, R1 discharged from facility, and on or about 5-20-2025 was taken to physician by another party and diagnosed with Herpes 1 and 2. Based on interviews and records review in this investigation, there are no additional corroborated statements or evidence to indicate facility did not assist R1 with obtaining medical treatment for observed rashes during R1’s residency. Furthermore, there is no additional evidence to support the diagnosis of Herpes 1 and 2 occurring as a result of facility not assisting with medical treatment as R1 discharged in March 2025 and diagnosed in May 2025 with the condition. As a result, the preponderance of evidence standard is not met, and this allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. A finding of unsubstantiated means the allegation may have happened or is valid, but there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred. An exit interview was conducted with Licensee/Administrator and a copy of this report was provided. Appeal rights provided.
