Inspector: Murial Han
Unsubstantiated — the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) investigated and did not find a violation.
Plain-language summary
A complaint investigation found no violation of facility policies regarding medication management for this resident. The facility made a required courtesy call two weeks before medications ran low, as the resident's family—not the facility—was responsible for ordering and refilling the medications themselves. Staff also properly supervised the resident while taking medications and were present when the resident nearly dropped a pill.
View full inspector notes
As part of the investigation, LPA interviewed staff #2 (S2) who was training S1 on the day of the incident and stated that S1 was in training, and both stayed to ensure that R1 took all the medications then they left the room. After the investigation, this allegation is unsubstantiated because there was no mistake made with R1’s medication administration. It was an accident that R1 almost dropped a pill while taking his/her pills but both staff members followed R1’s evaluation and plan and stayed with R1 to ensure R1 took all the medications before exiting the room as this was observed by the responsible party. Regarding to the allegation of staff did not ensure resident’s medications were refilled in a timely manner, the reporting party stated that on March 30, 2025, the responsible party received a call from the facility reporting that two of R1's medications were running low but the facility had enough to last for a few more days. On the next day (March 31, 2025), the responsible party received a from R1 at 7:01pm and stated that he/she did not take one of the medications that was running low. Subsequently, the responsible party called the facility and verified the medication ran out and delivered the medication that night. The responsible party also stated that the facility was supposed provide notification when R1’s medication has less than two weeks supply. According to the Memory Care Director, the facility has two types of medication refill systems for the residents. When the facility is managing the medications, the facility is responsible to ensure all the refills are done and when the resident or their responsible party is managing the medications, they will be the one to keep track of all the refills and the facility will make a courtesy call 2 weeks before the medications run out. The Memory Care Director stated that R1’s medication is managed by R1’s responsible party and S2 conducted the courtesy call 2 weeks prior to the medications were running low. LPA interviewed S2 who stated that he/she conducted a courtesy call 2 weeks in advance to the responsible party informing them that R1's medication was running low. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 Based on the documents provided by the facility, under Resident Evaluation, it indicated that R1 does not receive medication administration assistance from the facility instead, resident or family manages all aspects of the refills, including ordering and delivery of medications. Based on 24 hours shift report, it was documented by staff that on 3/30/2025, a courtesy call was made to R1’s family for the refills. After the investigation, this allegation is deemed to be unsubstantiated because R1’s family is managing R1’s medication and courtesy calls were made for the refills. Although the above allegation may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. This report is reviewed and discussed with the memory care director. A copy is provided.

Based on R1's evaluation/service needs and plan, it indicated that R1 did not required assistance for grooming, eating, walking, dressing, etc. After the investigation, this allegation is deemed to be unsubstantiated as there was no proof indicating the duration of R1 on the floor and there was no document indicating there was an agreement between the facility and the responsible party that the safety checks shall be completed at the beginning of each shift. Regarding to the allegation of - staff did not keep the residents authorized person informed regarding the resident's hospitalization, the reporting party stated that the facility informed him/her that R1 was transferred to the South San Francisco Kaiser due to a fall and when he/she called South San Francisco Kaiser and another Kaiser, he/she was told that R1 was not there. Subsequently, the responsible party called the facility and spoke to staff #1 (S1) who stated that he/she would get more information and call the responsible party back. However, S1 never called the responsible party instead staff #2(S2) called the responsible and by that time, the responsible party had already got a call from the hospital where R1 was transferred to. As part of the investigation, LPA interviewed the memory care director, and S1. According to the memory care director, during the transfer, the paramedics informed S1 that R1 would be transferred to Kaiser South San Francisco and the facility was not aware that R1 was being brought to another hospital until they were informed by the responsible party. The memory care director stated that S1 did not call the responsible party back because the responsible party called S1 when the shift was ending, therefore, S1 endorsed it to the incoming shift med tech (S2) to continue to follow up and called the responsible party back when additional information was obtained. LPA interviewed S1 who also reported that he/she was told by the paramedics that R1 would be transferred to Kaiser South San Francisco and stated that when the responsible party called, the shift was ending so he/she endorsed it to the incoming staff to follow up. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 After the investigation, this allegation is deemed to be unsubstantiated as the facility was unaware of R1's final destination which was decided by the paramedics after R1 had left the facility. However, during the investigation, the director acknowledged that staff did not get R1's vitals and report the result back to the responsible party as requested by the responsible party. This observation will be cited on Case Management visit under LIC809 and LIC809D. Although the above allegation may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.

Inspector: Murial Han
Plain-language summary
A complaint investigation found that the facility gave medication to two residents without a physician's order allowing them to take pills unsupervised—one resident was left with a pill at the bedside to take before sleep without staff oversight. The investigation also found that after a resident fell in the shower and the family requested the shower mat be placed on the floor to prevent future falls, staff did not consistently follow this instruction; inspectors observed the mat hanging on grab bars to dry rather than on the floor on multiple days after the fall, despite the director and administrator acknowledging they had instructed staff to place it there.

According to the memory care director, med techs shall ensure residents take their medication(s) before leaving their rooms unless there is a physician's order indicating that staff may leave the medication(s) with the residents. LPA interviewed resident #2 (R2) who stated that he/she gets medications from staff twice a day. In the morning, facility staff made sure he/she took the medication before leaving the room. However, in the evening, he/she took one pill in the presence of staff and staff would leave the the other pill by the bedside table for him/her to take it before bedtime as the medication causes dizziness. Based on the documents provided, both R1 and R2 did not have a physician's order to leave medications in their rooms unassisted. After the investigation, this allegation is deemed to be substantiated as facility staff did not assist residents with their medications. Regarding to the allegation of- resident sustained injuries during an witnessed fall due to neglect, the reporting party stated that R1 sustained bruising and broken skin from a fall and the shower mat was not placed on the floor by staff may have contributed to the fall. As part of the investigation, LPA interviewed the memory care director, the administrator and conducted observations. According to the administrator, the facility provides the non-skid shower mat to the residents and when a resident who is determined to be independent with their Activities of Daily Living including but not limiting to showers, it would be up to the individual resident to place the shower mat on the floor. The administrator acknowledged that the facility did not have a process to ensure the shower mats were placed on the floor for the residents who are independent with showers. According to the memory care director, the non-skid shower mats were supposed to be on the floor but staff would place them on the grab bars to dry after resident had showered. In regards to R1's fall, the administrator and the memory care director were aware of the fall and acknowledged that R1's responsible party requested the facility to place the shower mat on the floor at all times to prevent R1 from falling again and they stated that this was verbally communicated to facility staff. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 Based on the documents provided by R1's responsible party, LPA observed the shower mat was not placed on the floor on multiple days after R1's fall. During LPA's visit on 12/20/2024, LPA toured R1 and 9 other resident's rooms and LPA observed the non-skid mats were hanging on the grab bar in R1 and 5 other resident's shower rooms and the mats were all dried. After the investigation, this allegation is deemed to be substantiated. After R1's fall, the responsible party requested both verbally and in writing for the shower mat to be placed on the floor to prevent R1 from falling again and both the administrator and the memory care director acknowledged that it was endorsed to them. In addition, they stated the facility staff was in-serviced. However, it was observed by R1's responsible party and LPA that the shower mat was on the floor.

Plain-language summary
A complaint investigation found that the facility failed to properly store and monitor medications — staff discovered a medication in a resident's room that did not belong to them, even though the resident's care plan required the facility to manage all medications. The investigation also found that the facility did not provide adequate supervision during a vaccine clinic, resulting in a resident receiving two flu and COVID-19 vaccine doses on the same day without consent, when the resident was not supposed to receive additional doses.
View full inspector notes
LPA interviewed the facility coordinator who stated that it was discovered by staff #2 (S2) that the medication found in R1's room did not belong to R1 and this was communicated to R1's responsible party. LPA interviewed R1 who was not able to recall the incident and stated he/she gets medications from staff twice a day- morning and night. Based on facility's Program Description under Medication Support, it stated that medication will be centrally stored and monitored by designated and trained community staff unless arrangements have been made with the administrator and R1 and R1's responsible party did not have any arrangements with the administrator to keep his/her own medication in his/her room. Based on R1's services and needs plan, R1 requires complete assistance with all medication administration by the facility. Therefore, there should not be any medication left unattended in R1's room. Based on interviews, and record reviews, this allegation is substantiated as the facility did not ensure centrally stored medication was inaccessible to residents in care. In regards to R1 was administered 2 shots of flu and COVID-19 vaccines on the same day as the 2nd doses were administered without a consent. Based on the documents provided, the pervious Resident Service Director acknowledged that R1 was not supposed to receive another doses of the vaccine and the mistake was due to lack of facility staff present when R1 was being vaccinated. The previous Resident Service Director stated he/she and other staff were assisting the 3rd party Pharmacist with the vaccine clinic to make sure residents have their proper paperwork and consents for receiving the vaccines and toward the end of the day, the staff who was assisting the Pharmacist left to assist another unit as no one was waiting to be vaccinated.
