State requirements with the exact regulation citation, plain-language explanation, and a question to ask on tour. Rules this facility has been cited for appear first.
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.
Ask on tour
“Can you show me each direct-care staffer's most recent dementia training certificate, and tell me when their next refresher is due?”

Allegation: Staff did not provide adequate supervision resulting in resident sexually touching another resident. As part of the investigation, the Department requested and reviewed a police report from the Glendale Police Department on 10/06/2025, conducted interviews with the Administrator and Resident #1 (R1) on 10/10/2025. The department reviewed surveillance footage on 10/10/2025, and interviewed a caregiver on 10/15/2025. The investigation revealed that R1 has resided at the facility since March 2004 and Resident #2 (R2) has resided at the facility since October 2024. On 09/24/2025, law enforcement responded to the facility following a report that R2 engaged in inappropriate physical contact with R1 in the dining room. On 10/10/2025, the Department interviewed R1. Due to diminished cognitive capacity associated with dementia, R1 was unable to provide a reliable statement regarding the incident. The Department reviewed surveillance footage, which showed R1 seated in the dining room when R2 approached and made physical contact with R1's chest area over clothing. The footage showed R2 leaving the area immediately after the contact. Staff intervention occurred only after the contact had already taken place, at which time a staff member approached R1, adjusted R1's clothing, and checked on R1's well-being. On 10/15/2025, the Department interviewed a caregiver who witnessed the incident. The caregiver reported observing R2 approach R1 and engage in inappropriate physical contact before leaving the dining room. The caregiver stated that they immediately checked on R1 and reported the incident to the Administrator. During the investigation, the Administrator reported that R2 had a history of inappropriate behaviors and boundary violations involving other residents. The Administrator further reported that approximately one month prior to the incident, R2 was observed entering R1's room without authorization. Although that incident could not be conclusively substantiated due to insufficient evidence, it raised concerns regarding R2's interactions with other residents. The Department's review also identified repeated incidents and concerns involving inappropriate behavior by R2 toward both residents and staff prior to the 09/24/2025 incident. Continue on LIC 9099C 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 The evidence established that facility administration was aware of R2's pattern of inappropriate and escalating behaviors before the incident involving R1. Despite this knowledge, the supervision and protective measures in place were not sufficient to prevent R2 from accessing and engaging in inappropriate physical contact with another resident. The incident occurred in a common area of the facility and was not prevented despite R2's known behavioral history and prior boundary violations. Based on interviews conducted, records reviewed, surveillance footage reviewed, and information obtained during the investigation, the Department determined that the incident occurred as reported. The preponderance of evidence established that the facility was aware of R2's history of inappropriate conduct and escalating behavioral concerns and failed to provide supervision sufficient to protect residents from a foreseeable risk of harm. As a result, R2 was able to engage in inappropriate physical contact with R1 before staff intervention occurred. Therefore, the allegation that staff did not provide adequate supervision resulting in a resident sexually touching another resident is Substantiated. Deficiencies issued and appeal rights explained. Exit interview conducted and copy of this report signed and delivered.

residents. Moreover, in order to avoid problems and to keep the community safe, they usually refer residents to the home health agencies that they have worked with the past. S1 told LPA that the facility does not force any resident to use the home health agencies they provide referrals to. At 1:30pm, LPA spoke to R1's responsible party and they confirmed what staff had told LPA. Neither responsible party or R1 had looked into other home health agencies besides the one suggested by the M.D. Between 1:50pm and 2:23pm, LPA reviewed facility records. Records revealed that per admission agreement attachment concerning personal rights it states that residents have a right to receive or reject medical care or health-related services. R1 can choose any home health agency of their liking and the facility can not force them to use the ones provided by third parties within the facility. Based on interviews and records review, there is not suffificient information to support this allegation. Therefore, this allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED at this time It was alleged that staff denied resident’s home health agency access to the facility. To investigate this allegation, LPA initiated staff interviews between 11:15am and 12:20pm. Interviews revealed that staff would not deny health-related services chosen by R1 or any other resident. S2 stated that no one was notified of a home health agency coming to the facility and not being allowed inside. At 1:30pm, LPA called R1's responsible party and they said they did not know if in fact the home health agency had even gone to the facility. They were told that they were going to go, but no one saw them. Based on interviews, there is not sufficient information to support this allegation. Thus this allegation is deemed to be UNSUBSTANTIATED at this time. Exit interview conducted and a copy of the report was issued.
