Department of Public Health within 24 hours,
as indicated by Federal law. This also resulted
in delaying the Department's ability to ensure a
complete investigation was initiated timely,
potentially exposing Residents 1 and 2 to
additional abuse.
Findings:
On 9/6/19, an unannounced visit was
conducted at the facility to investigate three
facility reported incidents regarding possible
financial abuse.
1. Resident 1 was re-admitted to the facility on
8/21/18, per the facility's Resident Face Sheet.
On 9/6/19 at 12:20 P.M., an interview was
conducted with the SSD. The SSD stated two
to three weeks ago she learned from the BOM,
Resident 1 received a large refund check from
Medi-Cal (California's Medicaid health care
program). The SSD stated certified nursing
assistant (CNA 5) reported to the BOM she
overheard Resident 1's grandson yelling at the
resident about needing money. The SSD
stated she did not document the reported
incident. The SSD stated she did not
investigate or report the incident to the facility's
abuse coordinator.
The SSD stated one to two days later, CNA 5
reported overhearing Resident 1 and her family
talking about money, while sitting in the
facility's patio area. CNA 5 told the SSD she
overheard the resident with her daughter and
grandson talking about going to the bank, so
they could get money. The SSD stated she did
not document what CNA 5 overheard between
Resident 1 and her family members, nor did
she inform the facility's abuse coordinator.
The SSD stated the day after the 2nd incident

was reported (exact date unknown), she went
to speak with Resident 1 about what she
learned from CNA 5. The SSD stated the
resident appeared upset and was crying. The
SSD stated Resident 1 did not want to talk
about why she was crying, saying it was a
family matter. The SSD stated she never reapproached the resident to inquire what CNA 5
witnessed with the family members or why the
patient was crying.
The SSD stated she did not inform the facility's
abuse coordinator about these incidents,
because she did not have proof of any financial
abuse.
On 9/6/19 at 12:57 P.M., an interview was
conducted with the BOM. The BOM stated she
gave Resident 1 a refund check on 8/13/19,
which was for $36, 231.62. The BOM stated 12 days later, CNA 5 came to her, stating she
overheard the resident's grandson in the
parking lot, telling the resident he needed
money and he would be taking her to the bank.
The BOM stated she reported what the CNA
overheard to the SSD, because it was
concerning.
On 9/6/19 at 1:04 P.M., an interview was
conducted with the Administrator (ADM). The
ADM stated Resident 1's family interactions did
not come to his attention until 9/5/19, when he
was informed during an Interdisciplinary Team
(IDT) meeting.
On 9/6/19 at 1:08 P.M., an interview was
conducted with CNA 5. CNA 5 stated
approximately two weeks ago, (exact date
unknown) she was providing morning care to
Resident 1's roommate. CNA 5 stated she was

resident talking to her daughter on speaker
phone. CNA 5 stated the daughter was asking

stated she overheard the daughter instructing
Resident 1 what to tell the bank teller, if they

2. Resident 2 was re-admitted to the facility on
11/28/18, per the facility's Resident Face
Sheet.
On 9/6/19 at 12:32 P.M., an interview was
conducted with the SSD. The SSD stated on
8/9/19, she and the BOM had a meeting with
Resident 2, regarding the resident's monthly
share of cost, owed to the facility. The SSD
stated during the meeting, Resident 2 made an
allegation that his Durable Power of Attorney
(DPOA-a trusted person who is chosen to
handle your affairs should you become
mentally incapable), might have used his bank
money to go to the casino. The SSD stated
she did not document what Resident 2 told her
and she did not report this allegation to the
facility's abuse coordinator.
The SSD stated after the resident's statement,
she and the BOM had several meetings with
Resident 2's DPOA. The SSD stated they
requested the DPOA provide them with copies
of Resident 2's bank statements. The SSD
stated the resident's DPOA refused to
cooperate or to provide any bank statements.

The SSD stated she did not document what
Resident 2's DPOA said during those
meetings.
The SSD stated she had no actual proof the
resident's funds were being diverted, so she did
not report this to the facility's abuse
coordinator.
On 9/6/19 at 1:04 P.M., an interview was
conducted with the ADM. The ADM stated he
became aware of Resident 2's allegation
involving his DPOA on 8/27/19, during an
Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) meeting.
On 11/21/19 at 12:19 P.M., a subsequent
interview was conducted with the SSD. The
SSD stated she realized later, she should have
reported Resident 1 and 2's financial incidents
to the ADM immediately. The SSD stated she
also learned she did not need proof for an
allegation of abuse, only a suspicion.
On 11/21/19 at 12:26 P.M., an interview was
conducted with the DON. The DON stated the
SSD should have reported both incidents
immediately to the abuse coordinator or to her,
so an investigation could have been initiated.
Per the facility's policy, titled Abuse
Investigation and Reporting, dated July 2017,
"All reports of resident abuse,
...misappropriation of property ...shall be
reported to local, state and federal agencies
(as defined by current regulations) and
thoroughly investigated by facility management
... All alleged violations involving abuse ...will
be reported to the facility Administrator ..."
