Complaint Investigation
Census: 36
Capacity: 97
Deficiencies: 2
Date: Jun 2, 2021
Visit Reason
The visit was an unannounced complaint investigation triggered by an allegation of illegal eviction received on 2021-05-26.
Complaint Details
The complaint investigation was substantiated regarding illegal eviction. The facility served a 30-day eviction notice to Resident #1 for refusing medication and alleged verbal abuse. The investigation found no evidence of verbal abuse and confirmed the resident's right to refuse medication.
Findings
The investigation found that the facility served Resident #1 a 30-day eviction notice for refusing medication and verbally abusing staff. However, there was no evidence supporting verbal abuse, and the resident has the right to refuse medication. The allegation of illegal eviction was substantiated based on the preponderance of evidence.
Deficiencies (2)
CCR 87224 Eviction Procedures: The 30-day eviction notice was invalid as the resident was not verbally abusive but expressing dissatisfaction and has the right to refuse medication. The administrator must rescind the eviction notice and notify the resident in writing.
CCR 87463 Reappraisals: The resident's Appraisal/Needs and Service Plan had not been updated to reflect medication non-compliance or behavior changes. The administrator must update the appraisal and document reappraisals as necessary.

Complaint Investigation
Census: 37
Capacity: 97
Deficiencies: 1
Date: Apr 21, 2021
Visit Reason
The visit was an unannounced complaint investigation triggered by allegations including staff intimidation of residents, failure to follow universal precautions, and inadequate incontinence care.
Complaint Details
The complaint investigation was initiated based on allegations of staff intimidation, failure to follow universal precautions, and inadequate incontinence care. The first two allegations were unsubstantiated, while the third was substantiated.
Findings
The investigation found no evidence of staff intimidating residents and confirmed that universal precautions were being followed properly. However, the allegation regarding inadequate incontinence care was substantiated due to residents not being checked or changed during the night shift and the facility lacking a prior logging system for incontinent care.
Deficiencies (1)
CCR 87625(b)(2) Managed Incontinence requires that incontinent residents be checked during known incontinent periods, including at night. Residents reported not being changed or checked during the night shift, and the facility had no prior logging system before recently implementing one.
