Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Martha Arroyo and Kelly Dulek conducted an unannounced Case Management Deficiency visit in conjunction with complaint visit (CC# 29-AS-20230125131322 ). Upon arrival, LPAs met with Administrator, Monica Reyes. The purpose of this visit is to issue citations for deficiencies observed during the complaint investigation which were not related to the complaint. Based on the review of the medical records, DSS investigative findings, and other miscellaneous documents, the facility AM med tech placed R1 on supplemental oxygen via a portable oxygen tank (PRN) on 01/24/2023 around 9:15 a.m. The facility employee last checked on R1 around 11:30 a.m. and no one checked on R1’s oxygen tank level or oxygen saturation level until around 6:50 p.m. In addition, it appears a lack of communication between facility employees resulted in the AM and PM caregivers not knowing who placed R1 on oxygen. The PM med tech failed to regularly monitor R1’s oxygen and oxygen tank level. Numerous facility employees checked on R1 throughout the day and attended to R1’s other needs but failed to address R1’s oxygen needs or change out the empty oxygen tank. Pursuant to Title 22, California Code of Regulations, the following deficiency is cited (refer to LIC 809-D). Failure to correct the deficiencies may result in civil penalties. Exit interview conducted. Citations issued. A Copy of report and appeal rights provided.
