The LPA reviewed information obtained from an Agency that while on site at the facility 12/12/23, they were not doing the posted activities. They were told they were hiring someone to oversee the activities in memory care. Currently there is an activity program coordinator hired as of 1/31/24. The new activity program coordinator will be documenting all activities held daily, and documenting any changes to the activities scheduled, including posting the changes to keep all residents, and others updated as required. The Activity Program Coordinator provided copies to the LPA of how activities are being documented. Based on LPA interviews, and review of records, and information obtained, the facility had no supportive documentation to show which activities were being held and/or not being held; The facility didn't have a staff hired as the Activity Director, who was the dedicated staff person in charge of the facility's resident activity program only. The memory care unit had no accurate activity records and/or updates of the activity calendar. The investigation has revealed that the allegation of "staff do not provide adequate activities for residents " in the memory care unit, has been Substantiated. Due to the substantiation of the allegation, a citation, Planned Activities 87219(a)(f), will be cited today-see LIC9099D. The preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, (Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8), is being cited. Exit interview held with the Administrator Robert Alvarado. Appeal Rights provided.
