Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room,
etc.) that affect the resident.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident's responsible party (RP 1) was notified
following the resident's involvement in a physical altercation with another resident and of an interdisciplinary
team (IDT) conference for one out of three sampled residents (Resident 1). This deficient practice resulted
in RP 1 not being informed of Resident 1's physical altercation with Resident 2 on 7/25/2025 nor informed
of an IDT conference following the incident on 7/28/2025, placing Resident 1 at risk for uncoordinated care
and decisions without input from RP 1.Findings: During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, the
admission Record indicated Resident 1 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on
[DATE] with diagnoses that included schizoaffective disorder (a mental illness that can affect thoughts,
mood, and behavior), hypertension (high blood pressure), and diabetes mellitus (DM- a disorder
characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing). During a review of Resident 1's
Minimum Data Set ([MDS], a resident assessment tool), dated 5/5/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 1's
cognitive skills (ability to think and reason) for daily decision making were intact. The MDS indicated
Resident 1 was independent with activities of daily living (ADLs- routine tasks/activities such as bathing,
dressing and toileting a person performs daily to care for themselves). During a review of Resident 2's
admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 2 was originally admitted to the facility on
[DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included schizophrenia (a mental illness that is
characterized by disturbances in thought) and psychoactive substance abuse (the harmful use of
substances that affect mental processes, leading to significant health risks and social consequences).
During a review of Resident 2's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 2's cognitive skills for
daily decision making were intact. The MDS indicated Resident 2 was independent for ADLs. 1. During a
review of Resident 1's Change of Condition Note, dated 7/25/2025, the Change of Condition Note indicated
on 7/25/2025, Resident 1 walked towards Resident 2 and suddenly hit him on the left side of the face
unprovoked. The Change of Condition Note indicated Resident 1's conservator (Responsible Party [RP 1])
was notified on 7/25/2025 at 3:16 p.m. During a review of Resident 1's Progress Notes, dated 7/25, 7/26,
7/27, 7/28, 7/29, and 7/30/2025, the Progress Notes did not indicate a voicemail was left notifying RP 1 of
Resident 1's involvement in a physical altercation. There were no notes to indicate attempts to follow up
with RP 1 to ensure she was made aware of Resident 1's involvement in a physical altercation. During an
interview on 7/30/2025 at 11:41 a.m. with RP 1, RP 1 stated she was never made aware of the physical
altercation that involved Resident 1. RP 1 stated that she did not receive any calls or voicemails from the
facility regarding the incident that occurred on 7/25/2025. RP 1 stated, To be honest, they (the facility) have
not been good at notifying me about any changes or [Resident 1's] plan of care. I always have to call and
ask about things. During a concurrent record review and interview on 7/30/2025 at 12:07 p.m. with
Registered Nurse (RN) 1,

Resident 1's Resident Representative Notification section of the Change of Condition Note, dated
7/25/2025, was reviewed. The Resident Representative Notification section indicated RP 1 was notified of
the incident on 7/25/2025 at 3:16 p.m. The Resident Representative Notification section indicated RN 1
signed the completion of the section. RN 1 stated after a change of condition occurred, it was important to
notify the resident's RP because it was the RP's right to be aware of any changes that occurred in the
resident. RN 1 stated if RP 1 was not successfully contacted, then a voicemail should be left and a
follow-up call should occur to ensure the RP was notified. RN 1 stated she recalled, on 7/25/2025, she
helped Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1 with documenting after the incident. RN 1 stated she signed the
notification section of the Change of Condition Note because she thought LVN 1 was able to successfully
notify RP 1 of the incident. RN 1 stated if LVN 1 was unable to speak to RP 1, then a voicemail should have
been left and documented, or LVN 1 should have followed up or endorsed a need for a follow-up for the
next shift. RN 1 stated there was no documentation to indicate LVN 1 left a voicemail or followed up. During
an interview on 7/30/2025 at 12:21 p.m. with LVN 1, LVN 1 stated the normal process was to notify the
resident's RP of any changes of condition. LVN 1 stated she called RP 1's number but was not able to
speak with RP 1. LVN 1 stated she left a voicemail, but did not document that a voicemail was left. LVN 1
stated she did not document or follow up to ensure RP 1 was informed of Resident 1's change of condition
because the shift was chaotic and that she was very busy. During a concurrent record review and interview
on 7/30/2025 12:34 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), Resident 1's Resident Representative
Notification section of the Change of Condition Note, dated 7/25/2025, was reviewed. The Resident
Representative Notification section indicated RP 1 was notified of the incident on 7/25/2025 at 3:16 p.m.
There was no documentation to indicate a voicemail was left or follow-up attempts were made. The DON
stated the normal expectation for any change of condition was to document the notification to the physician
and RP. The DON stated if RP 1 did not answer her phone, LVN 1 should have continued to follow up or
endorse to the following shift to follow up. The DON stated LVN 1 should have left a voicemail and
documented that a voicemail was left. The DON stated RP 1 had the right to be made aware of any change
of conditions that occurred with Resident 1 and the licensed nursing staff had the responsibility to ensure
RP 1 was made aware of Resident 1's physical altercation. The DON stated the lack of documentation and
follow-up led to a delay in RP 1's notification of Resident 1's involvement in a physical altercation. 2. During
a review of Resident 1's Progress Notes, dated 7/25, 7/26, 7/27, 7/28, 7/29, and 7/30/2025, the Progress
Notes did not indicate RP 1 was made aware of Resident 1's Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) conference held
on 7/28/2025. During a review of Resident 1's IDT Conference Note, dated 7/28/2025, the IDT Conference
Note indicated RP 1 was notified of the IDT conference. During an interview on 7/30/2025 at 11:41 a.m.
with RP 1, RP 1 stated she never received notification of an IDT conference. During a concurrent record
review and interview on 7/30/2025 at 11:48 a.m. with the Program Director (PD), Resident 1's IDT
Conference Note, dated 7/28/2025, was reviewed. The IDT Conference Note indicated RP 1 was notified of
the IDT conference. The PD stated the purpose of an IDT was to follow up on an incident to try to see what
we can do to make sure it does not happen again and to formulate a plan of care. The PD stated it was
important the RP was involved or notified of the IDT conference because the RP [had] the power and the
facility had to consult with the RP to ensure he or she was in agreeance with the plan of care. The PD
stated he completed and signed the IDT Conference Note that indicated RP 1 was notified of the IDT
conference meeting on 7/28/2025. The PD stated he did not personally call and ensure RP 1 was made
aware of the IDT conference meeting (on 7/28/2025) or the incident (on 7/25/2025) because he assumed
LVN 1 successfully notified RP 1 based on her

documentation. The PD stated it was not his practice to call the RP before an IDT conference was
scheduled because he relied on the RP to call and follow up with the facility, especially if there was a major
injury. The PD stated RP 1 should have been aware of the IDT conference because she is the one that has
the power and had the right to be informed of what is happening with the client. During a concurrent
interview and record review on 7/30/2025 at 12:34 p.m. with the DON, Resident 1's IDT Conference Note,
dated 7/28/2025, was reviewed. The IDT Conference Note indicated RP 1 was notified of the IDT
conference. The DON stated an IDT conference was designed to ensure a treatment plan was developed
through the involvement of the department heads, the resident, and the RP. The DON stated the RP was
usually notified ahead of time so that the RP can meet with the facility staff at a scheduled time and can be
a part of the resident's treatment plan. The DON stated RP 1 should have been made aware and notified of
the IDT meeting, so RP 1 could have had an opportunity to be a part of the treatment plan. The DON stated
the form was inaccurately completed if the PD indicated RP 1 was notified of the IDT meeting based on the
notification documentation in Resident 1's Change of Condition Note. During a review of the facility's P&P
titled, Resident-Resident Abuse Policy, dated 2023, the P&P indicated the facility was to notify each
resident's legal representative should the resident be observed in a physical altercation with another
resident.During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Change in a Resident's
Condition, dated 12/2024, the P&P indicated the facility shall promptly notify the resident's Conservator/
Los Angeles Public Guardian of changes in the resident's medical/mental condition. The P&P indicated the
nurse supervisor/ charge nurses would notify the resident's representative with the exception of those
residents that are conserved in which the conservator would be notified when the resident is involved in any
accident or incident that results in an injury including injuries of an unknown source. The P&P indicated
notification would be made within the assigned shift of a change occurring in the resident's medical/ mental
condition or status. During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Careplan Guidelines, dated 12/2024,
indicated the Interdisciplinary Team would work in coordination with private or public guardians, and
appropriate family members to develop and maintain a comprehensive care plan for each resident.
