RCFE · Memory Care
A Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE) is a non-medical residential care home licensed by California CDSS under Health & Safety Code §1560. Residents receive help with daily living activities such as bathing, dressing, and medication management. An RCFE with a Memory Care designation is additionally required by California Title 22 (§87705 and §87706) to provide specialized staff training in dementia care, individualized care plans for residents with cognitive impairment, and appropriate supervision protocols — requirements that go beyond a standard RCFE license.

Therefore, the facility conducted a meeting with the responsible party and other family meeting to discuss the accuracy of the functional needs care profile. During the meeting, adjustments were made, however, they were not significant enough to reduce the monthly fee. In addition, they stated that the functional needs care profile for R1 was developed according to the feedback from the direct care staff and R1's LIC 602.

Plain-language summary
A complaint alleged the facility improperly charged for November after the resident's family gave notice in late October that the resident was leaving, and that staff took and shared photos of the resident without permission. The state investigated and found no evidence to support these claims: the admission agreement allowed the facility to charge through the 30-day notice period, a consent form for photos was signed by the family, and staff could not be identified as having shared any photos inappropriately.
View full inspector notes
Regarding the allegation that facility staff did not follow admission agreement, according to the reporting party, the facility required R1's responsible party to pay for the month of November after facility was notified on 10/28/22 that R1 will not be returning to the facility. During the investigation, LPA reviewed the facility's admission agreement. According to the admission agreement, the responsible party can terminate the agreement at any time by providing the facility a written notice of termination at least 30 days prior to the date of the termination stated in the notice. In addition, the admission agreement indicates that the responsible party will be responsible of all fees and expenses incurred during the 30-day notice period. Based on documentation reviewed, on 10/28/22, R1's responsible party provided the facility with a notice indicating that R1 will not be returning back to the community and that all of R1's belongings will be picked up by 10/31/22. Furthermore, on 10/31/22, the administrator emailed the responsible party back indicating a 30-day notice would have to take place from 10/28/2022, and called to notify the responsible party that R1 may return back to the community. Regarding the allegation that facility staff photographed resident without consent and facility staff shares resident’s confidential information to a non-authorized party, according to the reporting party, a staff member took photos on their phone of R1’s accidents and shared the photos with an individual who came to visit R1. During the investigation, LPA reviewed R1’s files, reviewed staff roster and staff schedules, and interviewed the administrator and the witness. Based on the file reviewed, LPA observed a copy of the facility's photo/video consent form signed by R1's responsible party. Based on the interview conducted with the witness, it was indicated that a staff showed him/her pictures of R1’s incontinent accidents. LPA reviewed the staff roster, and the staff schedules for the dates that was provided by the witness, however there was no staff member that fit the name or description as identified by the witness. According to the administrator, the facility staff takes photos or resident’s accidents to report to the Administrator, resident’s responsible parties or the physician. Therefore, based on the documents collected, information reviewed, and interviews conducted, the allegations above are UNSUBSTANTIATED, meaning that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is no preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred.

Page 2 - LIC9099C When speaking to both the RSD/nurse and the administrator, if a resident cannot self feed at any point then the responsible party for that resident has to acquire outside help to provide that one on one feeding to that specific resident. Upon review of the admission agreement, and specific to memory care, it is outlined that one on one feeding is not provided by the facility. The facility is providing food but is not providing one on one, or hand to mouth, feeding of residents in memory care. Due to these discoveries the allegation is unsubstantiated. Based on these observations, the above allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED.

Plain-language summary
A complaint investigation found that staff failed to contact the resident's authorized representative when the resident was hospitalized on August 31, 2021—instead calling an emergency contact in Florida who could not help—and the facility did not maintain an accurate contact list; the facility has since corrected this by updating the resident's contact information. A separate allegation that the resident's injuries (a shoulder fracture, spleen laceration, and bruising) resulted from inadequate care could not be proven, as investigators were unable to interview the staff member present during the incident and the cause of the injuries could not be determined from available records.
View full inspector notes
The allegation that facility staff fails to communicate with resident’s authorized representative refers to the facility failing to report R1’s hospitalization to designated R1’s responsible party. According to the administrator, R1 had a change of condition during the night of 8/30/2021 and early hours of 8/31/2021. Staff #1 (S1) on the night shift was not familiar with the local responsible party listed in the contact list, and instead called one of the emergency contacts who lives in Florida, and who was unable to readily attend to R1’s emergency. Since this incident, the administrator reported that the facility has revised R1's contact sheet and added R1's responsible party under emergency contact. Section 87468.1 (a) (8) Personal Rights of Residents in All Facilities states that residents in all residential care facilities for the elderly shall have their representatives regularly informed by the licensee of activities related to care or services, including ongoing evaluations, as appropriate to their needs. By failing to maintain an accurate record, the facility failed to notify the responsible party when R1 was transferred to the hospital. Therefore, based on the above information, interviews and record review, this allegation is substantiated Based on interviews, observations and record reviews during the investigation, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met. Therefore, these allegations were determined to be substantiated. Deficiencies of the California Code of Regulations, Title, 22 cited on the LIC9099-D.

The facility called emergency services early on 8/31/2021. There was a caregiver (S1) with the resident when paramedics arrived. The resident was then transported to the hospital. EMS records did not note any incidents during transfer or at the hospital. However, once at the hospital it was discovered that the resident had a right shoulder fracture, spleen laceration, and left buttocks bruising consistent with traumatic injuries. The injuries could had been caused by a fall, or cardio embolic source, but medical personnel were unable to rule any possibility out. The Department has been unable to interview the caregiver (S1) who was with the resident until the EMS arrived, and who could provide information on about what could had happened. The Administrator has also proven uncooperative. Base on record review and interviews during the course of investigation, this allegation is unsubstantiated.
