refuse medical or surgical treatment and, at the
resident's option, formulate an advance

(ii) This includes a written description of the
facility's policies to implement advance
directives and applicable State law.
(iii) Facilities are permitted to contract with
other entities to furnish this information but are
still legally responsible for ensuring that the
requirements of this section are met.
(iv) If an adult individual is incapacitated at the
time of admission and is unable to receive
information or articulate whether or not he or
she has executed an advance directive, the
facility may give advance directive information
to the individual's resident representative in
accordance with State Law.
(v) The facility is not relieved of its obligation to
provide this information to the individual once
he or she is able to receive such information.
Follow-up procedures must be in place to
provide the information to the individual directly
at the appropriate time.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure the residents
were provided written information to complete
an advance directive (a written statement of a
person's wishes regarding his/her medical
treatment) for two of 22 sampled residents
(Residents 236 and 60).
This failure had the potential for Residents 236
and 60 to not make their wishes regarding their
medical treatment known.
Findings:
1. On June 27, 2018, the record of Resident
236 was reviewed. Resident 236 was admitted
to the facility on June 19, 2018, with diagnoses

investigations to the administrator or his or her
designated representative and to other officials
in accordance with State law, including to the
State Survey Agency, within 5 working days of
the incident, and if the alleged violation is
verified appropriate corrective action must be
taken.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on obsevation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to report an allegation
of abuse to the California Department of Public
Health (CDPH) for one of one sampled resident
(Resident 10) when Resident 10 alleged
another resident (Resident 14) was abusive to
him.
This failure caused the allegation of abuse to
not be investigated by CDPH and increased the
potential to place the residents at risk for harm.
Findings:
On June 27, 2018, at 3:15 p.m., Resident 10
was observed in his room in a wheelchair.
Resident 10 was observed to have a below the
knee amputation (surgical removal of the lower
limb) of his right leg, and a dressing wrapped
around his left foot and ankle.
In a concurrent interview, Resident 10 stated
beginning in April 2018, there were four
incidents in which Resident 14 was aggressive
towards him. Resident 14 stated in one of the
incidents, Resident 14 came to his room and
blocked him from exiting the room. Resident
10 stated he told the Operations Manager (OM)
about the incident.

that incident, he was at a table on the smoking
patio when Resident 14 approached the table
and stated to him, "You know what happens to
snitches where I came from? They get
stabbed."
Resident 10 stated Resident 14 made him feel
like he had to "look over his shoulder."
When asked if anyone from the CDPH was out
to see him about the incident and ask him
questions, Resident 10 stated, "No."
On June 28, 2018, Resident 10's record was
reviewed. Resident 10 was admitted to the
facility on March 15, 2018, with diagnoses
including sepsis (infection in the blood),
diabetes mellitus (high blood sugar), cellulitis
(redness and swelling of the skin), abscess
(swelling with an accumulation of pus) of
tendon sheath (the membrane around the
tendon) of the left ankle and foot, and
osteomyelitis (infection of the bone).
Resident 10's Minimum Data Set (MDS - an
assessment tool), dated June 24, 2018,
indicated his "Brief Interview for Mental Status
(BIMS - a cognitive assessment)" score was 15
(on a scale of 0-15, with 15 indicating Resident
10 was cognitively intact).
On June 29, 2018, at 7:50 a.m., an interview
was conducted with the OM. The OM
confirmed Resident 10 alleged an incident of
Resident 14 blocking his way.
The OM confirmed another incident in which
Resident 10 alleged Resident 14 said to him,
"You know what they do to rats in prison?
They shive them." When asked what the term
"shive" meant, the OM stated it was a prison
term meaning "stab." The OM stated Resident
10 "was so upset about it" he had to call the

§483.15(c)(8) Notice in advance of facility
closure
In the case of facility closure, the individual who
is the administrator of the facility must provide
written notification prior to the impending
closure to the State Survey Agency, the Office
of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman,
residents of the facility, and the resident
representatives, as well as the plan for the
transfer and adequate relocation of the
residents, as required at § 483.70(l).
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview and record review, the
facility failed to ensure proper notification of
transfer or discharge was provided to the
residents or the residents' representative and
the office of the state long-term care
ombudsman for two of 22 sampled residents
(Residents 7 and 41) when:
1. For Resident 7, there was no documented
evidence a proposed notice of discharge was
provided to the resident and to the
ombudsman; and
2. For Resident 41, there was no documented
evidence a written proposed notice of transfer
was provided to the resident and to the
ombudsman.
These failures caused Residents 7 and 41 to
not be aware of the circumstances related to
their transfer or discharge, the information
about the appeal process and their appeal
rights, and the contact information of the
ombudsman. This failure also increased the
potential for to the ombudsman to not be aware
of the Residents 7 and 41's transfer or
discharge.

§ 483.25 Quality of care
Quality of care is a fundamental principle that
applies to all treatment and care provided to
facility residents. Based on the comprehensive
assessment of a resident, the facility must
ensure that residents receive treatment and
care in accordance with professional standards
of practice, the comprehensive personcentered care plan, and the residents' choices.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure nursing care
was provided according to nursing standards
and physician orders for two of three sampled
residents (Residents 12, and 23) when:
1. For Resident 12, the triamcinolone cream (a
medicated cream used to treat a variety of skin

2. For Resident 23,
a. The head of the bed (HOB) was not elevated
between 30 and 45 degrees while the tube
feeding (liquid nutrition administered through a
tube in the stomach) was ongoing, according to
the physician's order; and
b. Metoprolol and Verapamil (blood pressure
medications) were administered on multiple
occasions when Resident 23's systolic blood
pressure (SBP- the top number in the blood
pressure measurement reading) was below the
parameters ordered by the physician.
These failures increased the potential for
Resident 12 to experience more discomfort
than necessary and for Resident 23 to
experience medical complications.
Findings:
1. On June 26, 2018, at 1:25 p.m., Resident 12
was observed in his room sitting up in his bed.
Resident 12 was observed to have multiple
open wounds to his face (under his nose, on
his right cheek, on his left eyebrow, and on the
area between his eyebrows), and arms (right
elbow and hand, and left forearm). The
wounds varied in size and appeared to be
scratches and were dark reddish in color.
During a concurrent interview, Resident 12
stated the staff applied an ointment on the
wounds "sometimes." Resident 12 stated his
facial wounds hurt.
On June 28, 2018, at 8:35 a.m, a concurrent

During a concurrent interview, the DON
confirmed there was no documented evidence
the triamcinalone cream was administered on
those shifts.
2a. On June 26, 2018, at 4:36 p.m., Resident

infusing.
During a concurrent interview with the QAN,
the QAN stated the HOB should have been
elevated between 30 to 45 degrees high when

§483.45(h)(2) The facility must provide
separately locked, permanently affixed
compartments for storage of controlled drugs
listed in Schedule II of the Comprehensive
Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of

when the facility uses single unit package drug
distribution systems in which the quantity

and medications stored were not expired when:
1. Four bottles of expired blood glucose test
strips (used to determine blood sugar) and one
box of expired blood collection needles were in
