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?”

Page 2 Allegation: Resident sustained a fracture while in care. LIC602A Physician’s Report showed R1 as non-ambulatory, cannot bathe self and not able to care for own toileting needs. FM1 stated she took R1 to the hospital in April 2023 where R1 was assessed and determined R1 needs a wheelchair. R1 was then upgraded to a tier two, which means R1 needs two people assistance during transfers. FM1 further indicated she has witnessed R1 being transferred by only one person “multiple times”. Incident reports dated 2/27/23, 4/07/23, 6/29/23, 7/14/23, 7/15/23, and 7/26/23 noted R1 sustaining the same type of fall while the facility staff walked R1 to the bathroom. Incident report dated 7/26/23 noted that R1 was helped up from bed and was about to walk with walker to the bathroom when R1’s legs gave out and R1 indicated her legs getting weak and were hurting. R1 fell on her knees and facility staff helped R1 sit up. Lift assist was called to help get R1 up, but R1 could not get up after several attempts with the medics. R1 was taken to the hospital. Medical Records reflected that R1 sustained a displaced supracondylar fracture without intercondylar extension of the lower end of her left femur. Based on records review and interviews, the allegation is substantiated. Allegation: Resident had multiple falls during transfers. FM1 stated she took R1 to the hospital in April 2023 where R1 was assessed and determined R1 needs a wheelchair. R1 was then upgraded to a tier two, which means R1 needs two people assistance during transfers.FM1 further indicated she has witnessed R1 being transferred by only one person “multiple times”. Incident reports dated 02/27/2023, 4/07/23, 6/29/23, 7/14/23, 7/15/23, and 7/26/23 note R1 sustaining the same type of fall while the facility staff walked R1 to the bathroom. Lift assist had to be called each time in order to get R1 up. Facility staff admitted that R1 would fall “every single day”. All facility staff interviewed stated they did not believe they could provide the level of care R1 required but kept R1 at the facility anyway. In April of 2023, R1 returned from the hospital to the facility confined to a wheelchair, however, the wheelchair did not fit through R1’s bedroom or bathroom door. Two facility staff would have to physically lift R1 out of R1’s wheelchair and into a standing position supported by R1’s walker. Facility staff would then walk behind R1 as she walked into her bedroom and bathroom. R1’s physical condition prevented her from walking at all which caused R1 to fall constantly. Therefore, the allegation is substantiated. ......continued on 9099C (page 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 Page 3 Allegation: Staff is not providing appropriate assistance during transfers.

Plain-language summary
This was a complaint investigation involving four allegations: medication administration, resident falls and injuries, safeguarding personal belongings, and notification of injuries. All four allegations were found to be unsubstantiated due to insufficient evidence, though the investigation notes conflicting information and gaps in documentation across the different claims.
Read raw inspector notesClose inspector notes
Allegation: Facility staff did not administer medication to resident according to physician's instructions. Unsubstantiated. It was alleged that facility staff did not administer medication to resident (R1) according to physician's instructions. Reporting party (RP) stated R1 was admitted to the facility on 2016, and from 2016 to 2019, R1 was administered insulin. It was further alleged that the Humalog injection was discontinued on 2019, and facility retained R1 that the facility could no longer care for as R1 has diabetes and needs insulin. These dates are all prior to the current License for this facility issued on 10/09/2020. R1’s family member (FM) was interviewed who stated R1 was admitted to the facility 2016 and had (Humalog) insulin medication which facility discontinued to administer July 2019. FM received a bill in October 2019 that did not include R1’s insulin medications. FM indicated that staff S1 (facility’s registered nurse) told FM that as of October 2019, staff stopped giving R1 insulin injections. Review of records showed the facility sent request to R1’s primary care physician (PCP) to discontinue the Humalog sliding scale as Casa Sandoval scope of service does not allow the use of sliding scale insulin since non-clinical caregivers are assisting with the injections. PCP ordered Humalog sliding scale to be discontinued on July 24, 2019. When R1 was seen by PCP the After Visit Summary dated November 5, 2019 showed medications that were ordered to be continued included Humalog and Novolog. PCP indicated during interview on January 6, 2022 that during R1’s visit on November 5, 2019, R1 was still to be on insulin injections and nothing was changed with the dosages. However, it was not established that this information had been conveyed to the current Licensee. Hospice care was ordered for R1 and was started on November 22, 2019. Some medications were discontinued (dc’d) by hospice doctor (MD1), and while MD1 stated during interview that all medications would have been discontinued when the resident was placed on hospice, MD1’s list didn’t include Humalog and Novolog to be discontinued. November 2019 Medication Administration Record showed Humalog was not administered from 11/05/19 to 11/22/19, and Novolog was discontinued on November 22, 2019. R1 was discharged from hospice care June 20, 2020. These actions took place prior to the current License. Further, the PCP stated having had no knowledge of the resident being placed on hospice and changes made to the resident’s medication regimen. 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 upon interviews, records review, and conflicting information obtained, the Department has investigated this allegation and it could not be established that the current Licensee was made firmly aware that diabetic medications were to be continued and/or restarted. Although the allegation may have occurred or is valid, there is insufficient information to reach a preponderance of evidence. Therefore the allegation is Unsubstantiated. Allegation: Resident sustained fall(s) resulting to in injuries due to lack of supervision. Unsubstantiated. A review of the call button log from 6/1/2021 to 7/31/2021 showed 127 safety check-ins staff conducted on R1. R1 never pressed the emergency button to request staff assistance. None of the facility staff were aware R1 had sustained a fracture as R1 never complained of any pain, other than back pain from sitting in the recliner too long. Staff found out about the fracture when R1’s son, FM, reported it to the facility after R1’s hospitalization. During FM’s interview, FM stated R1 initially denied falling but later recalled she had and did not tell staff. A review of Hospital Discharge Summary stated R1 sustained a left femoral fracture from a fall. Orthopedist (MD2) confirmed R1’s fracture was due to a fall but was unable to tell whether the fracture was old or new. The Department interviewed R1 but R1 was unable to provide information. Based upon interviews, records review, and conflicting information obtained, the Department has investigated this allegation and determined that it could not be proven that R1s injuries were recent or new, nor that they were the result of insufficient care and supervision. Although the allegation may have occurred or is valid, there is insufficient information to reach a preponderance of evidence. Therefore, the allegation is Unsubstantiated.

Page 2 Allegation: Facility failed to seek medical attention for resident (R1) in timely manner. Reporting party (RP) stated that R1 has doctor's order to monitor blood pressure (BP) and was prescribed medication back in 2022. RP further stated that on 2/19/24, Pine Park Nurse Practitioner (W1) called R1's responsible person (FM) and told FM that R1 will be sent out due to the BP being out of control.

LPA interviewed S1 who confirmed she called 9-1-1 and that R1 was sent out due to high blood pressure. Based on information gathered and LPA unable to obtain information from W1, and LPA not able to interview R1 due to R1's medical diagnosis of R1, the allegation is unsubstantiated. Allegation: Facility improperly assisted resident (R1) with medical needs. It was alleged that R1's urine sample was sent by the facility to a different laboratory other than Pine Park Health.

S1 also provided FM updates via phone calls and text messages. Copies of text messages, proof of phone calls obtained by LPA confirmed former ED's statements. LPA interviewed S1 who stated she communicated and provided updates to FM. S2 stated she communicated with FM via email, text & phone calls and has got into a point where FM communicated and called the staff daily. S1 also stated that they set up a weekly schedule which FM agreed, and assigned S1 and she (S2) will step up if S1 is not available to speak with FM.

C1 stated that when he visited R1 one morning, C1 observed a stain in the carpet in R1’s room on which the staff stated that it’s alcohol. Review of records showed R1’s former conservator (C2) gave permission to the facility to purchase Vodka, not to give all at once and only let R1 consume 1 small bottle at night only. Facility's Alcohol Intake Records for R1 showed R1 was given from 2 to 3 times in the evening of which each time R1 was given 2 to 4 cups of 5 oz/cup.
