FOUND TO HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THE
DEFICIENT PRACTICE
The Resident was found to be unresponsive
and immediately taken to the closest
Emergency Room via Ambulance. CDPH,
Ombudsman, and the San Bernardino County
Sheriff's office was contacted to notify of the
incident as soon as Mill Creek Manor was
aware of the severity of the incident. The staff
(CNA and LVN) that was assigned to this
resident were placed on suspension pending
investigation and if found to have deficient
practices that resulted in the resident's injuries
will be terminated from employment with Mill
Creek Manor.
2. HOW THE FACILITY WILL IDENTIFY
OTHER RESIDENTS HAVING THE
POTENTIAL TO BE AFFECTED BY THE
SAME DEFICIENT PRACTICE AND WHAT
CORRECTIVE ACTION WILL BE TAKEN.
Each resident will be identified on admission
and quarterly for an elopement risk score with
an assessment. The score will assist in
determining the level of care to be provided to
the resident for wandering and elopement risk.
All residents will be placed on hourly monitoring
and the CNA staff will keep a log of the
monitoring that is being used. At the end of
each shift the LVN assigned will ensure the
monitoring is complete and placed in the log
binder at the nurse's station. The log will
address for each CNA the resident's location, It
is the CNAs responsibility to alert the LVN or
Charge Nurse on duty if the resident is noted to
be changed from the resident's baseline status.
A manager on duty program will be
implemented to ensure that resident safety is
maintained on weekends. The Manager on

DSD (or Manager on Duty if the DSD is
unavailable) at any time a CNA leaves a shift
without prior approval from the DSD, DON, or
