Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

Continued from LIC9099... Interviews conducted with R1 who has some communication challenges confirmed the above information by using a board to communicate with LPA, R1 denied vomiting or buying/drinking alcohol. According to R1, they bought 7up soda and chips only. Based on records review, R1’s physician report dated 7/25/25 revealed that R1 is not able to leave the facility unassisted due to major neuro-cognitive disease, needs transfer assistance – sit to stand supervision using front wheel walker, fall risk, special diet order low in sodium. R1’s care plan dated 7/15/25 has not been signed by R1 or their responsible party as indicated by regulation. Also, R1’s care plan does not reflect services needed including fall risk, transfers and special diet. LPA will cite deficiency found in a case management visit including reporting requirements, because the Licensee did not submit an incident report after learning of R1’s elopement. The preponderance of evidence standard has been met; therefore, the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, (Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8), is cited on the attached LIC 9099D. Appeal Rights Given. The Department will review the information obtained to determine if any further action is needed.
