Appeal rights given and discussed with Administrator. Failure to correct the deficiency and/or repeat deficiencies within a 12 month period may result in civil penalties. LPA reviewed in detail the Stipulation and Waiver; and Order dated July 18, 2022 with Administrator Jeralyn May. In 2024, LPA only received three [3] LIC 500s: dated 9/11/24, 11/6/24 and one 1/2/25. However, per page four [4] line item 20 and page five [5], line items 5, 6, and 7 of the Stipulation and Order dated July 18, 2022, HSL is to submit a monthly LIC500 along with the census of each unit and two-person assists identified. LPA and Admin discussed the language of the Stipulation and Waiver pages two [2] through six [6] that addresses the need for continuity of compliance. LPA gave Admin a hard copy of Stipulation. As a requirement of the Stipulation and Waiver; and Order dated July 18, 2022, page three [3] line items 17-24, on 1/6/25 the facility submitted a Monthly Quality Assurance (QA) Audit too CCL. The QA includes Continued on 809C(4) Continued from 809C(3) but is not limited to staffing, dining, physical plant, resident rooms, infection control, medication room/cart, and dementia care. LPA reviewed QA and found the following items were indicated as deficient in the most recent audit dated 1/6/25: · Flooring tiles in 300 wing of facility being repaired · Current month’s activity calendar for Memory Care is not up, showing previous month’s calendar Facility provides monthly training to staff in order to comply with the Stipulation and Waiver; and Order and contracts with a vendor to provide the staff training required per the Stipulation and Waiver; and Order. Per QA, facility’s check of staff training was in compliance. LPA reviewed training records, fingerprint clearance, and 1st Aid/CPR of employees identified on the QA report and found documentation to be present. However, training documentation procedure and requirement as outlined in the Stipulation and Waiver; and Order are requires clarification. Admin will attend meeting for clarification at Regional Office in Santa Rosa at a date to be determined. LPA discussed with Admin staffing section of submitted QA. Comments indicate one of the selected staff (S7) is a caregiver and has 1st Aid present only, CPR not required. LPA discussed with Admin the specifications per the QA says: verify First Aid and CPR card is on file and current. LPA discussed with Admin, only one person on duty is required to have CPR. Additionally, LPA met with licensee's auditor (A1) to discuss findings on most recent audit dated 1/6/25. LPA advised that staff (S7) was reported as having 1st Aid training but not required to have CPR. LPA showed A1 the certificate present in S7's file showing they actually do have both 1st Aid and CPR. A1 responded that the certificate is not proof of either First Aid or CPR, only that they completed an online course. LPA then advised if that is correct, and the certificate present actually is not proof, then there is still an inaccuracy. LPA received clarification from Licensing Program Manager (LPM) that certificate is proof of completed 1st Aid. LPA discussed with A1 and Regional Director of Operations (RDO) the regulation requiring that all staff must Continued on 809C(5) Continued from 809C(4) have 1st Aid training, but that only one person on duty is required to have CPR. RDO advised that they ensure all Med Techs have CPR. LPA clarified with A1 and RDO that the staff identified on the QA should have both 1st Aid and CPR as that is what is specified on the QA form. So, A1 should be selecting staff that are required to have it as part of their audit. Therefore, all staff identified on the QA for item #3 under section of Staffing should have both First Aid and CPR. LPA discussed with Admin that on 12/12/24, LPA conducted a Legal Non-Compliance Case Management inspection per the Stipulation and Waiver; and Order dated July 18, 2022. Staff (S6) identified in the audit as having completed training was found not to have completed training on file in the required number of hours. LPA discussed with Admin that on 11/16/24 LPA conducted a Legal Non-Compliance Case Management inspection per the Stipulation and Waiver; and Order dated July 18, 2022. LPA reviewed training records of employees identified on the QA report as having training completed and found documentation present, except for one employee. One employee (S1) identified as having CPR certificate present in their file actually did not have a CPR certification or training certificate present in their file. LPA conducted a tour of the facility that included memory care unit 1, the assisted living care unit and facility grounds. Facility appeared to be safe, sanitary, and in good repair. There is an appeal pertaining to citation issued 12/12/24 for deficiency of regulation 87705(c)(4) submitted by the facility to CCL currently pending.
