Page 2 of 2 End of Report On 4/22/2024 at 10:08 a.m. LPA interviewed resident 1 (R1). R1 stated that the residents have pendant call buttons but are only allowed to use the pendant for an emergency. R1 stated on 4/10/2024 before lunch, R1 needed assistance to go to the restroom. R1 stated he/she followed the instruction called the receptionist and was told that a staff will be with R1 within 10 minutes. After 10 minutes RP stated that no one came and R1 called the reception area once again, but this time there was no answer and voicemail says the "voice mailbox is full and could not take any messages" and then the line went dead. On 4/23/2024 at 2:55 pm. - LPA conducted an interview with Facility Maintenance Director (FMD). FMD stated "in terms of priority who ever pushed the pendant first will have the priority. FMD stated that the residents are encourage to call the reception area first for non immediate emergency and is not a life and death situation and does not require the facility to call 911. On 8/29/2024 and 9/4/2024, LPA interviewed staff 1 to 3 (S1 to S3), 3 out of 3 stated the facility uses a pager and it alerts staff who needs assistance. 1 out 3 stated that the pager has a 2 to 3 minute delay, 2 out of 3 stated there's no delay. 3 out of 3 stated they respond within 10 minutes and 3 out of 3 stated sometimes there's a delay due to unavoidable circumstances such as a resident needing more time with assistance and at times staff is at the other end of the building causing delays. On 9/4/2024, LPA interviewed 2 residents, in AL. 2 out of 2 stated they rarely use the pendant. The staff are pretty good at checking their needs. 1 out of 2 stated that staff response could be better but usually it's within 10, but it can go over 10 minutes. 1 out of 2 stated, the staff tries their best to be on time. Based on document review, LPA observed that delays were for open windows, the loading dock door was open. Care staff are able to respond within 10 minutes once pendant is pressed by the resident. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation(s) did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated. Residents can use the pendant for incontinence assistance. No deficiencies were cited during today's visit based on California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 22. An exit interview was conducted with ED/ADM Felicia Barkley and a copy of the report was provided. page 2 of 2 end of report
