LPA Jeung met with administrator to discuss conditions of facility's hospice waiver approved for TWO residents, as well as the Department's initial letter dated 1/14/25 of denial for an increase in the number of hospice residents that facility is allowed to serve. In March 2025, administrator submitted another request for an increase to the existing hospice waiver for two residents. On 4/4/25, this was denied again by the Department. Facility admitted a third hospice client on 3/22/25, despite the in Department's directive in the initial denial letter, which states that "the licensee may resubmit the hospice waiver request after six months of operation in substantial compliance of the regulations for reconsideration," and "for a prospective client to be admitted already receiving hospice care or requiring immediate hospice services, you must request and receive approval for a hospice exception prior to the resident being admitted." Two days after admitting client on hospice care, administrator submitted a letter requesting an exception for the hospice client. Administrator is reminded that failure to comply with conditions of approved hospice waiver for two could result in its revocation. Deficiency of the California Code of Regulations, Title 22 is cited on a following page.
