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 report an alleged abuse (willful infliction of injury resulting to
physical harm/ pain or mental anguish) to the State Survey Agency (California Department of Public
Health-CDPH - where state law provides for jurisdiction in long-term care facilities), ombudsman (OMB)
(advocates for residents of nursing homes, board and care homes and assisted living facilities), and local
law enforcement when OMB and local law enforcement (PD) in accordance with State law within two (2)
hours after the allegation was made for two of two sampled residents (Resident 1 and Resident 4). This
deficient practice had the potential to place Resident 1 and Resident 4 at risk for further abuse and/or
under reporting from the facility. Findings: 1. During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, the
admission Record indicated Resident 1 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and was readmitted
on [DATE] with diagnoses that included hereditary and idiopathic neuropathy (a disorder causing slow
weakness, numbness, tingling, and foot deformities with nerve damage), chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD- a long-term lung disease causing difficulty breathing), bronchiectasis unspecified (a
chronic lung condition where the airways become permanently widened and damaged). During a review of
Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool), dated 10/16/2025, the MDS indicated
Resident 1 was assessed having intact memory and cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring
knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 1 was
independent (resident completes the activity by themselves with no assistance from a helper) with eating,
toileting/personal hygiene, and upper/lower body dressing. The MDS indicated Resident 1 required setup or
clean-up assistance with sit to lying, sit to stand, and toilet transfer. During a review of Resident 1's Change
of Condition (COC) form, dated 11/25/2025, the COC indicated Resident 1 came up to staff in the hallway,
reporting that a resident in Room A (Resident 4) had allegedly rolled Resident 4's wheelchair into Resident
1's arm. Apparently, the resident (Resident 4) was coming out from the activities room when Resident 1
claims that Resident 4 bumped Resident 1's arm with Resident 4's wheelchair. 2. During a review of
Resident 4's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 4 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE] with diagnoses that included other COPD, hypertensive heart disease (a medical condition where
the heart is affected by high blood pressure), and schizophrenia. During a review of Resident 4's MDS,
dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 4 was assessed to have intact memory and cognitive skills for
daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 4 required supervision or touching assistance with
eating, oral/toileting hygiene, upper body dressing, personal hygiene, sit to stand and toilet transfer. The
MDS indicated Resident 4 required partial/moderate assistance with shower/bathe self, lower body
dressing, and tub/shower transfer. During an interview on 11/26/2025, at 10:37 AM with Resident 1,
Resident 1 stated, on 11/25/2025 at approximately 4:40 PM, Resident 4 came out of the Activities Room
and saw Resident 1 wheel herself to the Nurse's Station. Resident 1 stated Resident 4 sped

up his wheelchair when Resident 4 saw Resident 1 and Resident 4 rammed his wheelchair against
Resident 1. Resident 1 stated Resident 4's wheelchair hit her left arm and Resident 4 also kicked her left
leg. Resident 1 stated she informed Licensed Vocational Nurse 2 (LVN 2), LVN 3, and the Assistant Director
of Nursing (ADON) about the incident with Resident 4. Resident 1 stated she saw the Social Services
Director (SSD), ADON, and the Administrator (ADM) go to the office to talk about the incident after it
happened. Resident 1 stated the police did not come and talk to her after the incident. During an interview
on 11/25/2025, at 12:07 PM, with LVN 2, LVN 2 stated on 11/25/2025, at around 4:45 PM, Resident 1
informed LVN 2 that Resident 4 crashed into her wheelchair and hit her left arm on her way to the Nurse's
Station. LVN 2 stated the ADON, Director of Nursing (DON), and Administrator (ADM) were notified about
the incident between Resident 1 and Resident 4. LVN 2 stated what Resident 1 reported about the incident
with Resident 4 prompted an investigation of an allegation of abuse. LVN 2 stated if an investigation is
prompted then abuse was suspected. LVN 2 stated suspected abuse should be reported to CDPH
immediately or within two hours of the incident or when the allegation was made. LVN 2 stated he was not
sure if the incident between Resident 1 and Resident 4 was reported to CDPH. During an interview on
11/26/2025, at 12:59 PM, with SSD, SSD stated on 11/25/2025, at approximately 5:20 PM, SSD was
notified that Resident 4 allegedly ran over and hit by Resident 1's wheelchair. SSD stated he did not know if
the incident between Resident 1 and Resident 4 was reported to CDPH. During an interview on 11/26/2025
at 1:13 PM, with the ADM, the ADM stated she was informed about the incident between Resident 1 and
Resident 4 on 11/25/2025, at approximately 5 PM . The ADM stated she did not report the incident to
CDPH, local PD and to OMB because she did not see any contact between Resident 1 and Resident 4 in
the hallway when she checked the closed-circuit television (CCTV- video surveillance). ADM stated she did
not think abuse occurred because she did not see any contact between Resident 1 and Resident 4 in the
CCTV recording. ADM stated suspected abuse should be reported to CDPH immediately or within 2 hours
from the incident or when the allegation was made on 11/25/2025 around 4:45 PM. ADM stated abuse was
suspected if the incident prompted her to check the CCTV. ADM stated she should have reported the
incident between Resident 1 and Resident 4 to CDPH. During an interview on 11/26/2025, at 3:32 PM, with
ADON, ADON stated she and the ADM watched the CCTV recording after Resident 4 reported the alleged
abuse by Resident 1 last 11/25/2025 around 4:45 PM and did not see Resident 4 hit Resident 1. The ADON
stated they thought the facility did not need to fill out an SOC 341 (abuse reporting form) form and report to
CDPH since there was no proof or witness regarding what happened between Resident 1 and Resident 4.
During a review of the facility's P&P, titled, Abuse Investigation and Reporting, revised on 1/21/2025, the
P&P indicated the following: All reports of resident abuse, shall be promptly 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 by the facility Administrator, or his/her designee, to the
following persons or agencies: the State licensing/certification agency responsible for surveying/licensing
the facility; the local/State Ombudsman; Law enforcement officials. An alleged violation of abuse will be
reported immediately, but not later than: two hours if the alleged violation involves abuse OR has resulted in
serious bodily injury. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P), titled, Abuse Prevention
Program, revised on 2/21/2025, the P&P indicated as part of the resident abuse prevention, the
administration will investigate and report any allegations of abuse within timeframes as required by federal
requirements.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to administer medication in accordance with the physician's
order and to ensure that the administration of controlled medications (a drug or chemical whose
manufacture, possession, and use are regulated by the government due to its potential for abuse or
addiction) were accurately documented in the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for two (2) of two
sampled residents (Resident 2 and 5). This deficient practice had the potential for harm to Resident 2 and 5
due to missed medications and due to an inaccurate record of controlled medication use, and the possible
loss of accountability, which could affect the controls against drug loss, diversion, or theft. Findings: 1.
During a review of Resident 2's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 2 was initially
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included other seizures
(abnormal electrical activity in the brain that happens quickly), unspecified dementia (a brain disorder that
results in memory loss, poor judgment and confusion), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD- a
long-term disease causing difficulty breathing), and bipolar disorder (a mental illness that causes unusual
shifts in a person's mood, energy, activity levels, and concentration). During a review of Resident 2's
Minimum Date Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool), dated 11/18/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 2
was assessed having moderately impaired (decisions poor; cues/supervision required) cognitive (mental
action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision making. The MDS
indicated Resident 2 required partial/moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort) with lower
body dressing, rolling left and right, and sit to lying. The MDS also indicated Resident 2 required
substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort) with toileting hygiene, shower/bathe
self, sit to stand, and chair/bed-to-chair transfer. During a review of Resident 2's Order Summary Report,
dated 11/26/2025, the Order Summary Report indicated a physician order for Clonazepam (a medication
used to treat certain seizure and panic disorders [sudden episode of intense fear that triggers severe
physical reactions when there is no real danger or apparent cause] oral tablet 1 milligram (mg- unit of
measurement) give 1 tablet by mouth three times a day related to other seizures, ordered on 9/16/2025.
During a review of Resident 2's MAR, dated 11/1/2025 to 11/30/2025, the MAR indicated Resident 2 was
administered Clonazepam 1 mg by mouth on 11/13/2025 and 11/19/2025 at 8 PM by Licensed Vocational
Nurse 3 (LVN 3). During a concurrent observation of Resident 2's Clonazepam bubble pack (a card that
packages doses of medication within small, clear, or light-resistant amber-colored plastic bubbles),
interview, and record review on 11/26/2025, at 3:15 PM, with LVN 1, Resident 2's Narcotic and Hypnotic
Record (a controlled substance count sheet of log used to track the entire lifecycle of a controlled
medication including the receipt, administration, inventory, and disposal) from 11/12/2025 to 11/26/2025,
was reviewed. LVN 1 counted Resident 2's Clonazepam bubble pack and there were two tablets left. LVN 1
stated Resident 2's Narcotic and Hypnotic Record indicated there was no documentation that Clonazepam
1 mg was taken out from the bubble pack and was given to Resident 2 on 11/13/2025 and 11/19/2025 at 8
PM by LVN 3. During the same interview with LVN 1 on 11/26/2025 at 3:15 PM, LVN 1 stated Resident 2's
Narcotic and Hypnotic Record indicated there were two Clonazepam tablets left in Resident 2's bubble
pack. LVN 1 stated the Narcotic and Hypnotic record matched the actual clonazepam count and if LVN 3
gave the Lorazepam as indicated in Resident 2's MAR last 11/13/2025 and 11/19/2025 then there should
be none left in the bubble pack. LVN 1 stated, it means the MAR was signed by LVN 3, but the medication
was not given to Resident 2. 2. During a review of Resident 5's admission Record, the admission Record
indicated Resident 5 was initially admitted to the

illness affecting how you feel, think, and act, characterized by persistent sadness, loss of interest, fatigue,
changes in sleep/appetite, and difficulty concentrating), anxiety disorder (excessive, persistent worry and
feat that significantly impair daily life), and schizophrenia (a mental disorder that affects the way a person
thinks, acts, expresses emotions, perceives reality, and relates to others). During a review of Resident 5's
MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 5 was assessed having moderately impaired cognitive
skills for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 5 required supervision or touching assistance
with eating, oral/personal hygiene, toileting hygiene, upper body dressing, rolling left and right, sit to lying,
sit to stand, and toilet transfer. The MDS indicated Resident 5 also required partial/moderate assistance
with shower/bathe self, lower body dressing, tub/shower/transfer, and waling 50 feet (ft- unit of

the Order Summary Report indicated a physician order for Lorazepam (a medication used to treat anxiety)
oral tablet 1 mg give 1 tablet by mouth three times a day for anxiety manifested by (m/b) inability to cope
with daily living activities causing anger and stress, ordered on 8/17/2025. During a review of Resident 5's

mouth on 11/12/2025 at 5 PM by LVN 3. During the same concurrent observation of Resident 5's
Lorazepam bubble pack, interview and record review on 11/26/2025, at 3:15 PM, with LVN 1, Resident 5's
Narcotic and Hypnotic Record from 11/6/2025 and 11/20/2025 was reviewed. LVN 1 counted Resident 5's
Lorazepam left in the bubble pack and there were 28 left. LVN 1 stated Resident 5's Narcotic and Hypnotic
Record indicated there was no documentation that Lorazepam 1 mg was given to Resident 5 on
11/12/2025 at 5 PM by LVN 3. LVN 1 stated Resident 5's Narcotic and Hypnotic Record indicated there
were 28 Lorazepam tablets left in Resident 5's bubble pack. During the same interview with LVN 1 on
11/26/2025 at 3:15 PM, LVN 1 stated Resident 5's Narcotic and Hypnotic Record matched the actual
lorazepam count which was 28 and if LVN 3 gave the Lorazepam as indicated in Resident 5's MAR last
11/12/2025 then there should be 27 Lorazepam left in Resident 5 bubble pack. LVN 1 stated, it means the
MAR was signed by LVN 3, but the medication was not given to Resident 5. LVN 1 stated it was the facility's
policy for controlled medications to document the administration in the MAR accurately and the Narcotic
and Hypnotic Record. LVN 1 stated this was done to ensure accuracy that the medication was given to
keep track of the controlled medications that were administered and to avoid missing controlled
medications. During an interview on 11/26/2025, at 3:40 PM, with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON
stated Resident 5's Lorazepam was not documented as given in the Narcotic and Hypnotic Record on
11/12/2025. The DON stated she was not aware of the discrepancy between Resident 2 and Resident 5's
MAR and Narcotic and Hypnotic Record. During an interview on 11/26/2025, at 4:06 PM, with the Assistant
DON (ADON), the ADON stated she was not aware that LVN 3 documented the controlled medication as
administered (Clonazepam and Lorazepam) for Residents 2 and 5 in the residents' MAR but not in the
Narcotic and Hypnotic Record. ADON stated the DON was supposed to do oversight and audits of the
narcotic and controlled medications to make sure the residents received the medications in accordance
with the physician's order and staff were not taking or stealing medications. ADON stated narcotic and
controlled medication audits were also important to make sure the staff administered the medications to the
residents on time and the medications matched the MAR. The ADON stated the controlled medications for
Resident's 2 and 5 should not have been charted as given in the MAR if they were not administered to
Residents 2 and 5. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P), titled, Medication Orders,

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to maintain complete and accurate medical records in
accordance with accepted professional standards and practices for three (3) of 3 sampled residents
(Residents 2, 3, and 4) when Licensed Vocational 1 (LVN 1) and LVN 2 did not document medications
administered from 3 PM to 11 PM on 11/25/2025 in the residents' Medication Administration Record (MAR).
This deficient practice had the potential to result in a lack of or a delay in delivery of necessary care or
services and in medication errors. Findings: 1. During a review of Resident 2's admission Record, the
admission Record indicated Resident 2 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on

are also monitored and documented in the MAR. LVN 2 stated it was important to monitor and document
these behaviors to see the effectiveness of the medications or if the medication's dose needed to be
adjusted. LVN 2 stated Residents 2, 3, and 4's medications were in Medication Cart 1 (MC 1) and LVN 3
was assigned to MC 1 on 11/25/2025 from 3 PM to 11 PM. During an interview on 11/26/2025, at 1:13 PM,
with the Administrator (ADM), the ADM stated LVN 3 only worked at the facility from 3 PM to approximately
7 PM on 11/25/2025. The ADM stated LVN 3 was assigned to MC 2 and administered Resident 2, 3 and 4's
medications until LVN 3 left the facility. The ADM stated the medications that LVN 3 should have
documented were Resident 2's memantine and olanzapine; Resident 3's Valproic acid, Vimpat, and
ziprasidone HCl and; Resident 4's losartan and ipratropium-albuterol medications. The ADM stated LVN 4
took over LVN 3's assignment from approximately 7 PM to 11 PM. During the same interview on
11/26/2025, at 1:13 PM, with the ADM, the ADM stated LVN 4 should have documented and initialed the
MAR after the medications for Residents 2, 3, and 4 were administered. The ADM stated the medications
that LVN 4 should have documented were Resident 2's donepezil, melatonin, and trazodone; Resident 3's
gabapentin, melatonin, and tamsulosin and; Resident 4's quetiapine. The ADM stated LVN 4 should have
documented that the behavior monitoring was performed for Residents 2, 3, and 4 from 3 PM to 11 PM shift
on 11/25/2025. The ADM stated the policy for administering medications was not followed by LVN 3 and
LVN 4 During an interview on 11/26/2025, at 3:32 PM, with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), the
ADON stated LVN 3 and LVN 4 did not initial the MAR for Residents 2, 3, and 4 after the 3 PM to 11 PM
medications were given on 11/25/2025. ADON stated it was important to accurately chart the medications
given in the MAR because the residents in the facility have mental and physical conditions and needed to
take their medications as ordered. ADON stated the MAR communicates to the staff if medications were not
given or given as ordered by the physician. ADON stated residents could get sick or their behaviors could
worsen if their medication administration was not documented due to potential medication errors (any
preventable event that may cause of lead to patient harm, or has the potential to do so, while the
medication is in the control of a healthcare professional, patient, or consumer) such as under or over
medicating the resident. ADON stated it was important to document medications to ensure continuity of
care and the proper care is provided to the residents. During the same interview on 11/26/2025, at 3:32 PM
with ADON, the ADON stated LVN 3 and LVN 4 did not initial the MAR after Resident's 2, 3, and 4's vital
signs, pain assessment, medication side effects, non-pharmacological interventions and behavior were
monitored from 3 PM to 11 PM on 11/25/2025. ADON stated the MAR was used to determine and
understand why a resident was having an exacerbation of a certain behavior. ADON stated it was important
to document Resident 4's vital signs, pain assessment, medication side effects, non-pharmacological
interventions and behavior were monitoring in the MAR to prevent over medicating the residents and proper
evaluation of the resident's condition. ADON stated the residents' documented behavior was reviewed by
the physician to ensure a resident was taking the correct dose of a medication or if a dose adjustment was
necessary. ADON stated the resident's behaviors should be documented in the MAR for the safety of the
residents. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P), titled, Behavioral Assessment,
Intervention and Monitoring, revised 3/2019, the P&P indicated the following: The nursing staff will identify,
document, and inform the physician about specific details regarding changes in an individual's mental
status, behavior, and cognition including:a. onset, duration, intensity and frequency of behavioral
symptoms;b. appearance and alertness of the resident, and related observations. During a review of the
