§483.12(c)(1) Ensure that all alleged violations
involving abuse, neglect, exploitation or
mistreatment, including injuries of unknown
source and misappropriation of resident
property, are reported immediately, but not
later than 2 hours after the allegation is made,

abuse or result in serious bodily injury, or not

allegation do not involve abuse and do not
result in serious bodily injury, to the
administrator of the facility and to other officials
(including to the State Survey Agency and adult
protective services where state law provides for
jurisdiction in long-term care facilities) in
accordance with State law through established
procedures.
§483.12(c)(4) Report the results of all
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 observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure an allegation
of abuse was reported to the state agency
California Department of Public Health (CDPH)
immediately, but no later than two hours, for
one resident (Resident 101).
This failure had the potential to place the
residents in the facility at risk for harm from
abuse.

on September 16, 2018, did not notify the DON
regarding the allegation of abuse.
On September 19, 2018, at 10:18 a.m., RN 3
was interviewed. RN 3 stated Resident 101
was upset with CNA 1 on September 16, 2018,
at approximately 11:30 a.m. RN 3 stated she

On September 19, 2018, at 1:44 p.m., Resident
101 was interviewed. Resident 101 stated on
September 16, 2018, between 11 a.m. to 11:30
a.m, she asked CNA 1 for help. Resident 101
stated CNA 1 told her she was going to help
another resident. Resident 101 stated CNA 1
returned to her room approximately 20 minutes
after she asked CNA 1 for help.
Resident 101 stated CNA 1 prepared to provide
care to her, so CNA 1 pulled the drapes around
Resident 101's bed, then moved her call light
away, and removed the wash cloth from her
hand. Resident 101 stated she wanted her
wash cloth back, so she asked CNA 1 to return
it. Resident 101 stated when CNA 1 returned
the wash cloth to her, CNA 1 told her "Here."
Resident 101 stated CNA 1 returned the wash
cloth with an "attitude." Resident 101 stated
she told CNA 1, "You do not have to yell."
Resident 101 stated she was not able to
answer CNA 1 right away when CNA 1 asked
her if she wanted another CNA to take care of
her because she was, "stunned."
Resident 101 stated CNA 1 "stormed out of the
room." Resident 101 stated CNA 1 did not
provide her the care before she left her room,
so she called for help after CNA 1 left the room
and another staff went to help her. Resident
101 stated she was "scared" of CNA 1.

§483.20(g) Accuracy of Assessments.
The assessment must accurately reflect the
resident's status.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure one of 17
sampled residents (Resident 56) had an
accurate comprehensive assessment.
This failure increased the potential for Resident
56 to not receive the necessary treatment and
services.
Findings:
On September 17, 2018, at 1:23 p.m., Resident
56 was observed awake and lying in bed. In a
concurrent interview with Resident 56, he
stated he was legally blind (can see at 20 feet
or less what a person with normal vision can
see at 200 feet). Resident 56 stated he
informed the staff he was legally blind.
On September 19, 2018, Resident 56's record
was reviewed. Resident 56 was admitted to the

2. Florastor (saccharomyces boulardii- a type
of yeast used to treat stomach and intestinal
problems) 500 mg was ordered, and an
undetermined dose was administered.
These failures caused Resident 28 to receive
doses of ferrous sulfate and Florastor which
were different from what was ordered by the
physician . These failures had the potential to
cause Resident 28 to have stomach and
intestinal symptoms, such as constipation,
diarrhea, nausea, abdominal cramps, or
vomiting.
Findings:
On September 19, 2018, beginning at 9 a.m., a
medication pass observation was conducted
with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1. LVN
1 was observed administering medications to
Resident 28. Resident 28 was observed lying
in her bed, non-responsive, and with a gastric
tube (G-tube - a tube connected to the stomach
used to administer liquid nutrition, medications,
and supplements).
1. LVN 1 was observed to pour one, five (5) ml
(milliliter) unit dose container of ferrous sulfate
liquid 300 mg/(per) 5 ml, and a portion of a
second 5 ml container of ferrous sulfate liquid
300 mg/5 ml, into a medication cup (a 30 ml
cup used to administer medications). The
medication cup was observed to contain 7.5 ml
of ferrous sulfate liquid.
In a concurrent interview, LVN 1 stated the
medication cup contained "7.5" (ml - a total of
450 mg ferrous sulfate).
LVN 1 was observed to administer the 7.5 ml of
ferrous sulfate liquid to Resident 28 through her

2. LVN 1 was observed to open two capsules
of Florastor 250 mg/capsule (total dose 500
mg). LVN 1 poured the powder into a
medication administration cup. LVN 1 was
observed to dissolve the Florastor powder by
pouring water into the medication cup with the
Florastor powder in it.
LVN 1 was observed to administer the
dissolved Florastor to Resident 28 through her

by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure two trash
containers were covered.
This failure had the potential to expose the

with the Dietary Service Supervisor (DSS), two
uncovered trash containers were observed in
the parking lot outside the kitchen back door.

the contents. There were numerous flies
observed flying and landing on the exposed
items in the containers.
In a concurrent interview with the DSS, the
DSS confirmed the trash containers should
have been covered.

observed to enter Resident 73's contact
isolation room without wearing the proper PPE;
and
3. Resident 24's suction catheter tip was found

areas, and smoking safety that also take into
account nonsmoking residents.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure policies were
established and implemented regarding
smoking safety for four of four sampled
smoking residents (Residents 123, 323, 324,
and 329), when:
1. The designated smoking area was not
covered and was exposed to the sun and rain;
2. Residents 123, 323, 324, and 329, were
observed to have their own cigarettes and
lighter in their possession; and
3. Smoking assessments were not completed
for Residents 123, 323, 324, and 329.
These failures increased the potential for
accidents and injuries to Residents 123, 323,
324, 329 and to other smoking residents.
Findings:
1. On September 17, 2018, at 10:57 a.m., an
observation was conducted at the designated
smoking area (outside the South station) by the
