What dementia-care training must staff complete?22 CCR §87705 / HSC §1569.625
+
Plain language

Because a facility markets dementia or Alzheimer's care, state law mandates higher training standards: 12 hours of initial dementia training (6 hours before a staff member works independently with residents, 6 more within the first 4 weeks), 8 hours of annual dementia in-service every year thereafter, and an administrator must include 8 hours of dementia-specific continuing education in every 2-year recertification cycle. Training must cover individualized care plans, behavioral expressions, appropriate supervision, and the facility's dementia care philosophy.

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Nacole Patterson conducted an unannounced Case Management Visit.  LPA was greeted by and met with Executive Director Calais Anguiano, to discuss the purpose of the visit. Today's visit is in response to the facility's self report regarding Staff 1 (S1) utilizing an unauthorized self-release restraint on Resident 1 (R1) during incontinence care. Staff interviews, written staff statements, and facility documentation of the incident revealed that the facility had a "no restraint" policy, which was trained to all employees, including S1. The facility conducted an internal investigation regarding the incident; S1 informed that the intent of the restraint was to keep R1 from scratching themselves due to agitation while being provided care.

All required parties were informed of the incident per reporting requirements. The investigation showed that the situation was elevated per the facility's chain of command and management took immediate action to rectify the incident. The investigation additionally revealed that the facility provided sufficient training to staff regarding appropriate postural support use and the prohibition of unauthorized restraints. S1 admitted knowing the facility's policy against use of restraints. LPA conducted a health and safety check for R1 at the facility; no health or safety issues were identified.

Inspector · Nacole Patterson

Plain-language summary

A complaint alleged that staff made false statements and falsified records about an incident on August 2, 2025, when a resident was found on the ground in the facility's enclosed outdoor yard. Investigators interviewed all eight staff members involved, reviewed facility records and incident reports, and spoke with the resident's hospice provider and an outside advocate—all statements were consistent, and no evidence of false statements or falsified records was found. The complaint was unsubstantiated.

Read raw inspector notes

(Continued from LIC9099 p.1) Staff stated that they began actively looking for R1 when R1 could not be located for their evening medication pass. Staff elevated R1’s absence per protocol through their chain of command, and R1 was located on the ground within the enclosed gated yard where residents were allowed to freely roam. Staff assessed R1 for injuries and notified R1’s Hospice agency as well as their Responsible Party. Staff additionally informed that the outside doors to the enclosed yard areas remained unlocked and open often throughout the day, per the facility’s “51 Standards” model for memory care residents. Staff stated unanimously that R1 did not have any physical injuries after the incident, with the exception of a possible minor cheek abrasion/redness. Staff stated they were unsure if the cheek abrasion was from the incident on 08/02/2025, or from a different injury due to R1’s pattern of frequent falls. Review of facility records corroborated staff statements regarding the timeline of events. The facility’s internal incident report and written statements from staff were consistent with staff statements made during interviews. Progress notes for R1 showed that R1 was placed on alert charting during the timeframe of concern and showed no signs of discomfort or pain after the incident occurred, vitals in normal range, and R1 presented at baseline. The facility’s “51 Standards” document stated that “Outside doors to enclosed yard areas are open every day and must remain open from 7:00am to 9:00pm”, corroborating staff statements that R1 was allowed to freely walk around the gated yard where they were found. Records did not give evidence that R1 was not being supervised according to their care plan during the time of incident. An outside medical professional familiar with R1 (OS1) was interviewed; OS1 informed that R1’s baseline was to walk around the facility for long periods during the day. OS1 additionally informed that due to cognition, R1’s walking pattern was absent of R1 looking down to see where they stepped, resulting in frequent falls. OS1 informed that a fall mitigation plan was in place with ongoing care plan updates between the facility, R1’s Responsible Person, and R1’s Hospice agency. OS1 informed that they frequented the facility due to being involved with multiple residents and did not have concerns regarding the facility’s supervision of R1 or other residents. A second outside source (OS2) from an advocacy agency was interviewed; OS2 informed that they had not conducted an investigation regarding the incident at the time of the call, however based on prior visits they had no concerns about supervision at the facility. (Continued on LIC9099 p.3) 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 (Continued from LIC9099 p.2) During an unannounced facility visit LPAs Patterson and Ngallo walked the perimeter of the property; LPAs observed all gated yard areas to be enclosed and locked. LPAs additionally observed resident care in each neighborhood; LPAs observed residents being assisted by staff with activities of daily living (ADLS). No residents were observed to be waiting for care or in an unsafe or unsupervised location. LPAs attempted to interview R1, however due to R1’s major neurocognitive disorder they were not able to be qualified for interview. LPAs found observations of R1's gait and walking pattern to be consistent with staff and outside source statements. Regarding the allegations “Staff made false statements regarding resident incident”, and “Staff falsified records”, eight (8) of eight (8) staff members involved in the incident denied that they were instructed by management or another staff member to make false statements or omit information regarding R1’s incident, including written documentation of the incident. Staff informed that the interview statements and written statements were true and accurate to the incident. Each staff member was interviewed privately, and their statements/recollection of events were consistent with other staff statements and records. Two outside sources were interviewed regarding the allegations. The information provided by R1’s Hospice agency was consistent with the information provided by the facility. While OS2 had not yet conducted an investigation regarding the incident, they did not express concerns of the facility’s truthfulness regarding resident incidents. Review of facility records did not corroborate the allegations. Staff written statements and incident reports of the event corroborated verbal statements during interviews. Additional records revealed that an internal investigation was conducted by the facility’s Human Resources department, and no evidence was found that staff falsified details of R1’s incident or were instructed to do so. No records were found to give evidence to falsified statements or falsified records. Based on interviews, direct LPA observations and records review, a preponderance of evidence does not exist to prove that the alleged violations occurred, therefore the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED. An exit interview was conducted with Executive Director Calais Anguiano, to whom a copy of this report and the Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC9058 03/22) were provided and their signature on this report confirms receipt of the Licensee Rights.

Plain-language summary

A complaint investigation found no evidence that the facility improperly kept a resident on a catheter against their wishes or failed to serve meals to a sleeping resident. The resident arrived with a catheter placed by the hospital following two failed removal attempts, and it was later removed; the facility coordinated home health care and the resident no longer has one. Staff confirmed they hold dinner for sleeping residents and provide access to snacks, and the resident was observed eating well during the investigator's visit.

Read raw inspector notes

(Continuation of LIC9099) It was specifically alleged resident #1 (R1) had a catheter they did not want. Interview with the Executive Director, Diane Summerell, said they were following the R1s PCP orders upon admission. R1 ended up being discharged from the hospital with a catheter. They were aware R1 had ongoing issues with the use of the catheter but moved into the community with the catheter already in place. They did say that Home Health was coming out to assist R1 with their catheter. Per Executive Director, R1 currently does not have a catheter in place. Interview with staff #1 (S1) confirmed that the resident had the catheter in place when they had moved into the facility on or about December 10, 2024, but since has been removed. A review of records revealed that the hospital assessment, dated December 9, 2024, said a urinary retention Foley was placed. Hospital care plan, dated December 11, 2024, noted that resident had not made progress and recommended to address the barriers to include discharge with foley catheter. They did do a home health referral to CenterWell for PT and RN- foley care. Resident was admitted to the facility on or about December 10, 2024. According to R1’s preplacement appraisal, dated December 11, 2024, R1 had a new Foley at the hospital as they had failed their trial to remove it twice. Residents Physician’s report, dated December 3, 2024, showed the resident did have a Foley catheter. Home Health care notes show that they were assisting resident with their catheter about every 3 to 4 days since December 2024 through February 2023. Hospital discharge documentation, dated February 25, 2025, showed that R1 was sent to the hospital for displacement of Foley catheter. On March 7, 2025, LPA briefly spoke with R1, but was unable to qualify the residents interview. LPA observed that they did not have a catheter in place or bags on their person. Based on the aforementioned this allegation is deemed unsubstantiated. It was specifically alleged that the facility did not wake resident to have their meals. Interview with Executive Director Summerell said that the resident did come in with malnourishment. According to S1 the facility does have a Country Kitchen where they provide residents with many snacks if they are feeling hungry after meals. They are aware their caregivers are provided a list of residents to care for and assist them to their meals. According to S2, R1 is one of their good eaters. If they are asleep, S1 said they would hold on to their dinner plate and give it to them when they awake to have their dinner. At times R1 may be hungry throughout the night but is able to get a snack from their Country Kitchen. According to S3, they have worked with R1. S3 describes R1s eating customs to be a very well eater. They corroborated S2s statement, that they save residents food when its dinner time and the resident is sleeping. (Continuation on LIC9099-C) 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 (Continuation of LIC9099-C) S3 said that it is not normal for R1 to be sleeping at dinner time but has occurred. R1 will also have all types of snacks if they are hungry. They go into their Country Kitchen and have a snack. A review of records revealed resident had a hospital visit prior to admission, dated November 21, 2024, and PCP serviced resident on November 22, 2024 that noted that resident’s appearance was an underweight elderly person. The hospital assessment noted that the resident had moderate to severe malnutrition. On November 30, 2024, the resident was seen at the hospital, and their assessment regarding the resident’s weight did not change – the resident was still underweight. An email dated December 10, 2024, from the facility did make staff aware R1 did have a malnourishment diagnosis with significant weight loss upon R1s admission. Hospital progress notes dated December 7, 2024, said the resident had an appetite that day and weighed 51.2 kilograms (approximately 112.87 pounds) for their last 10 readings. Facility weight notes show that the resident has been fluctuating in weight between 113 – 120 pounds the past month. The facility is obtaining Nutritional Care Notes from Dining which indicate R1s diagnosis, weight, plan and goal to address their condition. During LPA’s visit on March 7, 2025, they saw R1 was in the activities room with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and a water and had another before LPA left. Based on the Department’s investigation of the above-mentioned allegations and the evidence obtained during staff interviews, records reviewed, and LPA observations, there is insufficient evidence to meet the preponderance of evidence standard. Therefore, the above allegations are deemed to be unsubstantiated. The report was discussed and an exit interview was conducted with Executive Director Dyan Summerell and Kaitlyn Collins, Director of Resident and Family Services. A copy of this report along with Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC9058 3/22) were provided to Executive Director Summerell at the conclusion of the visit.
