What is an RCFE with 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.

LPA interviewed the following: staff (ED, S1, S2, S4, S5, S6) on 2/07/22, 9/28/23, 9/05/24, 9/13/24 and 4/30/25; R1’s family member (FM1) on 9/13/24; residents (R2, R3, R4, R6, R7, R8) on 2/07/22, 9/28/23 and 4/30/25. LPA tried to reach staff (S3) and home health nurse (HH1), but they did not return LPA’s calls. Allegation: Resident (R1) sustained pressure injuries while in care. S1 stated she does not remember if R1 had pressure injury but thinks R1 had some redness which is usual when one is staying long on the chair and R1 was attended by home health. S2 stated she was not assigned to R1 but observed caregivers attended to R1. S4 stated she does not remember R1 because residents come and go but if she observes skin issue, she reports to the med-tech and she repositions resident every 2 hours. S5 and S6 stated R1 had pressure injury. S6 also stated that that was also the reason R1 was visited by home health which was also stated by FM1. S5 and S6 stated R1 was a difficult resident. S5 further stated when R1 was repositioned, R1 returned to her original position. R1 was provided wedge; however, R1 asked the staff remove it. Review of home health records showed R1 was certified and re-certified for home health care from 2021 to 2022 and at some point, during these periods, R1 was visited by home health due to pressure injury. On 3/08/22 document indicated R1 was discharged from Home Health. It was noted on the document that R1 has no unhealed or stage 2 or higher pressure injury and had no stasis ulcer. Based on interviews and records review, and LPA unable to obtain information from R1, S3 and HH1, the allegation is unsubstantiated. Allegation: Resident's diapering needs are not being met. It was reported that when HH1 asked R1 to stand up so HH1 can see R1’s buttock wound, R1 said, “Let me first pee in my diaper” and when R1 was done, HH1 helped remove the diaper and amount of urine was weighing 2-3x of urine episode and that was causing the stage 2 pressure injury in the buttock. ..............................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 FM1 stated once or twice R1 called her and told her she was not changed but FM1 said it was something she was not aware of. Although FM1 stated that she run a couple of times when she visited and saw used diaper in a plastic bag in R1's bed, she never observed R1 soaked in urine nor not changed. S1 stated when R1 does not come down to the dining room, S1 goes to R1's room to give R1 medications and S1 observed caregiver changing R1's diaper. There were times when R1 will call for assistance and S1 hears the front desk calling for caregiver to attend to R1. S2 stated she never visually observed R1 soaked in urine or soiled and not being attended. S2 also stated she saw caregivers come and go to R1's room to attend to R1. S4 stated she changes residents’ diapers 3x during her shift and as needed. S5 stated residents who need assistance in changing diaper are changed regularly and as needed. S6 stated she changed residents' diapers every 2 to 3 hours and more often if resident is a frequent wetter. S6 further stated that R1 was a frequent wetter and a lot of time, R1 refused to be changed. Six of the residents interviewed stated the staff assist them when they need help. One of this 6 residents has been living in the facility for 8 years and stated that she needs assistance in changing diaper and staff change her 4 to 5 times and as needed. This resident further stated she never had rashes, UTI and/or pressure injury. Based on information gathered, and LPA unable to obtain information from HH1, S3 and R1, the allegation is unsubstantiated. Allegation: Resident's hygiene needs are not being met. It was reported that HH1 observed feces between R1’s buttock and some part at R1’s back which showed that the feces had been sitting there and that when staff wiped off, R1 was not cleaned entirely . .......continued on 9099C (page 4) 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 4 FM1 stated R1 complained about the water being cold and would not want to take a bath, but FM1 tested the water and the temperature was okay. FM1 also stated that when FM1 started coming to the facility, R1 started taking a bath. All 6 residents interviewed stated the staff assist them when they need help. When LPA conducted inspection during the 10-day visit, when LPA and the ED entered one of the residents’ apartment, LPA observed a caregiver present and assisting the resident in that apartment. Based on information gathered, and LPA unable to obtain information from HH1, S3 and R1, the allegation is unsubstantiated. Allegation: Staff does not assist resident when requested. All 6 residents interviewed stated the staff assist them when they need help. When LPA conducted inspection during the 10-day visit, when LPA and the ED entered one of the residents’ apartment, LPA observed a caregiver present and assisting the resident in that apartment. Based on information gathered, and LPA unable to obtain information from HH1 and R1, the allegation is unsubstantiated. Allegation: Staff does not treat resident with dignity and respect. It was reported that HH1 observed the staff being disrespectful to R1. All staff interviewed denied being abusive to any residents. They stated they never observed other staff not treating residents with dignity and respect. ..............continued on 9099C (page 5) 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 5 FM1 stated she never heard any staff being disrespectful to R1 or other residents. All 6 residents interviewed stated staff were never abusive to them and other residents. LPA reviewed Home Health records and documentation and didn’t observe any notes indicating HH1 observed abuse by facility staff. Based on information gathered, and LPA unable to obtain information from HH1, S3 and R1, the allegation is unsubstantiated. Based on interviews, observations and records review, there’s not a preponderance of evidence standard to prove that violations occurred, therefore, the 5 allegations are closed as unsubstantiated.

Page 2 Allegation: Resident (R1) sustained multiple falls resulting in injuries. It was alleged that R1 fell on September 2019 outside in the facility garden; the drain cover was not properly covered and R1 tripped, broke her right shoulder, and was left for 2 hours. It was further alleged that R1 fell 4x in April 2020 and May 2020 resulting to broken ankle, toe and fingers. The Department conducted interviews, obtained and reviewed R1’s Physician’s Reports, Appraisal/Needs and Services Plan, medical records, facility notes and incident reports. R1 fell in November 2019 when R1 was walking her dog in the back area. It could not be proven that R1 had tripped over an open drain cover . At that time, R1 had been appraised as being ambulatory without needing assistance . Progress notes indicated that staff immediately heard R1 and responded; R1 was immediately sent ou t to hospital and treated for an arm fracture. Facility reassessed R1 and determined that she needed additional supervision and care. The staff signed off daily for the tasks related to her increased care including additional safety checks. In January 2020, R1 experienced an unwitnessed fall in her room, with no injuries, bruising, or pain noted. The two other falls, with injury, were unwitnessed while R1 was in her room and on April 2020 when R1 attempted to use the bathroom on her own. S taff reported that R1 had been provided with additional room checks and reminders to call for assistance for bathroom transferring; documents obtained indicated staff were provided with this instruction . R1 had two more visits to the emergency department due to staff observing R1 with leg edema. The information is insufficient to establish that R1’s multiple falls were due to neglect or lack of supervision. Allegation: Resident (R1) not provided medical attention in a timely manner. The documents indicated the facility reported each incident and sought immediate medical treatment by having hospital evaluations. A review of R1’s incident reports and staff progress notes showed that facility staff had contacted paramedics and R1’s family to transport R1 to the hospital for an evaluation and treatment of injuries when R1 fell. Facility also sent R1 out to the hospital for treatment of leg edema. S1 reported during interview of personally responding to the fall in November 2019 and contacting 911 immediately after assessing R1, which was corroborated by documents obtained. The information is insufficient to establish that facility staff did not seem timely medical attention for R1. ,,,,,,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 do not respond to resident's pull cord in a timely manner. Pull cord activations are answered by front desk and front desk staff will radio staff to respond to residents’ requests/calls. Seven staff (S1, S2. S3, S4, S5. S6 and S7) were interviewed who stated they are to respond immediately when pull cords are activated, and if unavailable, staff inform the front desk so that other staff can be requested to respond. The facility does not have a system that records when residents activate the pull cord, nor when staff respond. Therefore, it could not be determined whether R1 had called for assistance before attempting to use the shower or toilet, nor when staff responded to the pull cord being activated by R1. Residents (R2, R3 and R4) were interviewed. R2 and R3 stated they seldom use their pull cords and staff usually respond immediately. R4 indicated he does not use pull cord and use his cell phone instead and staff respond immediately. The information was insufficient to determine that the facility staff had failed to respond to a call for assistance in a timely manner. Based on all information obtained by the Department, the 3 allegations, “R1 sustained multiple falls resulting in injuries”, “R1 not provided medical attention in a timely manner”, and “Staff do not respond to resident's pull cord in a timely manner”, are closed as unsubstantiated. An unsubstantiated finding means that although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violations occurred.

A review of the medication administration record for R1 indicated that staff had provided medications. S3 and S4 confirmed having signed their initials on the days and times that medication was provided or refused. The record indicated that one medication was occasionally refused by R1. S3 and S5 reported that R1’s physician was informed when the medication was refused. The information is insufficient to determine that the facility staff had failed to properly administer R1’s medications. B ased on all information obtained by the Department, the allegations is unfounded. A finding that a complaint is unfounded means that the allegation is false, could not have happened, and/or is without a reasonable basis.
