Residents Affected - Few
Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper
authorities.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that an allegation of physical abuse for one of three
sampled residents (Resident 1) was reported to the local, state, and federal agencies immediately in
accordance with their facility's policy.
This failure had the potential for the alleged abuse to go uninvestigated and unreported thereby increasing
the chances of health, safety, and psychosocial harm to Resident 1.
Findings:
During an interview with Administrator on September 5, 2024, at 2:30 PM, he stated that he did not feel
there was enough evidence based on interviews with witnesses and resident to report it to the state. Stated
the son came to him highly upset and he said he felt LVN 1 ( Licensed Vocational Nurse) threw resident on
the ground, states what LVN 1 said to him resident was threatening to leave the building and I redirected
him and told him to go back to his room He stated I don ' t know why she started to stop him at the nurses
station, I usually wait until they get to the main door and then I redirect, when talked to LVN 1, I said you
should have let him get to the door, because then he could have told you he was not trying to leave the
building I just wanted to get away from you he stated the resident ' s claims was LVN 1 failed to give him
pain medicine. He stated the son gets very upset when his father does not get his pain medications, and
they are planning to move him closer to the daughter. He stated the son also told him he did not believe
LVN 1 did that, and the son called the nursing board where they told him she was under investigation, so he
felt LVN 1 did do this. States the son did not witness it but there were 2 other witnesses that say same thing
LVN 1 says. States resident went to hospital and there were no finding and was cleared to return to facility.
Since then, resident was moved to another side of the building so LVN 1 has nothing to do with resident. He
stated he did report it to the licensing board. Stated he did not report it to CDPH because when he had the
son and LVN 1 in his office the son stated I agree with what you ' re saying maybe my dad was just
confused so that is why I did not report it. I let him know that in his policy it states he must report any
allegation or suspicion of abuse and he stated ok, I will report it today.
During an interview with LVN 1 on September 5, 2024, at 3:00PM, She stated that resident 1 was always
fighting with roommate, so Doctor added more meds, Ativan (is used in adults and children at least [AGE]
years old to treat anxiety disorders. Ativan is also used to treat insomnia caused by anxiety) and Norco (is
used to relieve moderate to severe pain) for pain. States son and resident told the doctor he wanted to go
home. She states the resident was dependent on Ativan and that particular night he kept asking for Norco
and she gave it to him. States she was on the phone with the resident ' s daughter and noted the resident
wheeled himself out the door stating he was going home, they ae
