Inspector: David Doidge
Unsubstantiated — the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) investigated and did not find a violation.
Plain-language summary
A complaint alleged that a male caregiver touched a resident's breast inappropriately while assisting her, but the investigation found no corroborating evidence to substantiate the claim. Staff interviews and review of the facility's actions on the dates in question did not support the allegation, and no witnesses observed any inappropriate interaction. No violations were found.
View full inspector notes
Continued from LIC9099 Investigation Finding: It was reported to the department that a male caregiver touched R1’s breast in an inappropriate manner. R1 reported the incident to her private companion through UPLIFT Home Care Agency, who then reported the incident to the owner of UPLIFT, who ultimately reported it to CCLD. LPA interviewed R1 in R1’s room. W1 was present and would not leave during interview. R1 felt more comfortable with W1 present, and W1 did not want R1 to be interviewed alone despite LPA asking W1 for some privacy for the interview. R1 told LPA that a male caregiver, who’s name R1 could not readily remember, assisted R1 back from a common room where R1 and other residents were watching a movie. R1 said the caregiver took R1 by the arm and led R1 up 6 steps and down the hall to R1’s room. At the door R1 informed the caregiver that R1 did not need further assistance. R1 said the caregiver insisted on assisting in removing R1’s blouse. While removing the blouse, the caregiver touched R1’s breast making R1 feel uncomfortable. When LPA asked R1 if R1 could remember any features, or the name of the caregiver, R1 hesitated, as if to think, and W1 prompted R1 with a name. R1 thought about it, then repeated the name. R1 said R1 sees the caregiver from time to time around the facility prompting W1 to say this is how W1 knows the name of the caregiver. R1 did not seem to really know it was in fact that caregiver. R1 is certain it was a male caregiver. W1 was more certain. LPA interviewed W1 in the hallway. W1 feels R1 gave a detailed description of the event and, although R1 has some memory issues with time, W1 thinks R1 remembers the event well enough. LPA interviewed S1 who was present the day in question as well as the day before. S1 reported that R1 has been found on multiple occasions wandering around the facility and forgetful as to why R1 was out in the halls and where R1 was going. S1 recalled that the day before, another caregiver S4, had to walk R1 back to R1’s room after staff saw R1 wandering the hallway appearing disoriented and with a lean to R1’s walk. S4 informed LPA that S4 had the day before assisted R1 back to R1’s room from the other side of the building, but on the same floor.

S1 then radioed S4 and asked S4 to check on R1 as S1 felt R1 needed to be checked on. S4 entered R1’s room and asked R1 if R1 would like assistance getting ready for bed. R1 agreed, and S4 went to grab R1’s bed clothes. While bringing over the clothes, R1 took R1’s own top and underwear off unassisted. S4 handed R1 the clean clothes but did not touch R1. S4 offered R1 S4’s hand to get out of the chair. S4 then guided, from behind, R1 to bed, lifted R1’s legs onto the bed, and left. S1 confirmed S! asked S4 to assist in that manner. S4 is not the caregiver R1 named as the one who touched R1. The named caregiver, S6, worked NOC shift that night. LPA interviewed S6 by phone. S6 informed LPA S6 did not interact with R1 that night but had in the past gone into R1’s room to clear a Pedant alarm. S2, S3, and S5 have all interacted with R1. Each have reported that R1 confuses easily and will wander out of R1’s room at different hours both day and night. Neither S2, S3, nor S5 witnessed anything. No staff interviewed by LPA witnessed any interaction between a caregiver and R1 that appeared inappropriate in nature. S5 is usually assigned R1 in the evenings. S5 does not assist R1 with changing. S5 informed LPA that R1 did not need assisting the day of. S5 was not on shift the night before when S4 assisted. The night before S4 was assigned to cover R1. Based on interviews and no corroboration of the incident, the allegation is unsubstantiated. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did occur, therefore the allegation that staff made inappropriately comment to resident in care is unsubstantiated. No deficiencies observed during visit.

Staff interviewed reported not seeing, hearing, nor themselves being inappropriate towards residents.

Inspector: Alicia Delmundo
Mixed — CDSS found some allegations substantiated and others unsubstantiated during this investigation.
Plain-language summary
A complaint investigation found that staff did not respond promptly to call buttons — one resident waited 14 minutes after pressing the button four times before getting help, and review of call records showed multiple residents waited 10 to 30 minutes for responses when the facility's own policy requires a 10-minute response time. The investigation also examined a resident's fall on November 18, 2024, after the call button went unanswered; emergency responders were called twice that evening, and the resident was hospitalized and later died from pneumonia and Parkinson's disease, but the complaint that staff neglect caused the death could not be substantiated based on available evidence. The facility was cited for the delayed call-button responses.
View full inspector notes
Page 2 It was alleged that resident pushed the call button more than once and was not responded timely. FM1 stated that on 11/18/24, around 8 pm, R1 needed help with getting to the bathroom. R1 pushed his call button for assistance four times, and nobody responded, so R1 got up on his own and fell. The Department interviewed former Resident Services Director (S1) who stated that call button calls should be answered within 10 minutes. One of the 3 residents interviewed stated that staff responded to her call in 10, 15 minutes and at times this resident waited for 20 minutes. The other resident stated that staff know who is calling and may have a different response to each resident. Review of call button call records confirmed R1 pressed the call button 4 times on 11/18/24 and was responded only after 14 minutes. Documents also showed several residents pressed their call buttons more than once to as many as 7 times and took the staff to respond longer than 10 minutes to 30 minutes. Based on interviews and records review, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore, the allegation is substantiated. Deficiency is cited from Title 22 California Code of Regulations and listed on 9099D . Failure to submit proof of correction by plan of correction due date and any repeat violation within 12 month period may result in civil penalty.

It was reported that resident (R1) had fallen prior to moving to the facility and that facility staff were aware that R1 was a fall risk. Reporting party (RP) also indicated that R1 fell twice at the facility and on the first fall, R1 was not sent out to the hospital. On the 2 nd fall incident on 11/18/24, R1 needed help at around 8:00 pm and was not responded timely, R1 got up by himself, fell, broke the right leg, and sustained injuries to the back and hip. It was further reported that at some point, staff found R1 on the floor, picked up and put R1 back to bed. RP further indicated that R1 was sent to the hospital the following day and diagnosed with aspiration pneumonia and injury. R1 was moved to another facility where R1 passed away on 1/04/25 due to injuries and trauma from fall and pneumonia. FM1 stated that R1 fell at the facility on 10/2024. R1 fell again on 11/2024 resulting to R1 sustaining serious injuries that contributed to R1’s death. FM1 further stated that on 10/2024, R1 was dropped by S2 in the bathroom and put R1 back to bed. S2 denied the allegation and stated he was not assigned to R1 and only escorted R1 back to his room one time. FM1 stated that R1 was trying to use the bathroom and fell going to the bathroom on 11/2024. R1 sustained injuries to the right fibula, hip and back. R1 was assisted by S4 back to bed before S4 left at the end of S4’s shift. S4 stated he found R1 near R1’s walker on the night of the incident and that he could tell R1 was physically hurt as R1 kept saying “head hurt”. S4 further stated helping R1 to R1’s wheelchair and went to get the facility nurse, S5, who called 9-11. S5 confirmed that R1 fell on 11/2024 and that S4 called and informed S5.

S6 further stated that R1 was not able to provide information about the fall incident that happened on 10/2024 and that R1 was not in pain. S1 confirmed that she instructed S6 to investigate because she wanted to complete an incident report. S1 stated that S2 denied picking up and putting R1 back to bed when R1 fell on 10/2024. S1 also stated that R1 fell again on 11/2024 and that 9-11 was called. .......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 Review of records showed R1 fell the first time on 10/27/24, no injuries sustained and R1 refused transport to the emergency. R1 fell the second time on 11/18/24, 9-11 called and R1 was sent out and diagnosed with a closed displaced fracture of lateral malleolus of right fibula and no other injuries. Death certificate indicated R1 passed away on 1/04/25. Cause of death was due to aspiration pneumonia and Parkinson’s disease and no other significant conditions contributing to death. Based on records review and interviews, there is not a preponderance of evidence standard to prove that violations occurred, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated. Allegation: Staff did not seek medical attention for resident in a timely manner. It was reported that on 11/18/24, R1 needed help at around 8:00 pm and was not responded timely, R1 got up by himself, fell, broke the right leg, and sustained injuries to the back and hip. It was further reported that at some point, staff found R1 on the floor, picked up and put R1 back to bed. RP further indicated that R1 was only sent to the hospital the following day. Review of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) records indicated that there were two visits on 11/18/2024 to the facility for R1. The first EMS response and visit occurred at about 2210 hours and the second at about 2313 hours. During the first visit, Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) contacted R1’s wife, FM2, and informed FM2 about what happened to R1. FM2 and R1’s daughter, FM1, decided there was no need for R1 to go to the hospital. The EMTs left at about 2305 hours. The second visit at about 2313 hours resulted in R1 being transported to the hospital due to complaints of pain in his leg and back. The Department was not able to interview R1 due to R1 had passed away prior to the Department receiving the complaint. Therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated. Based on records review and interviews, and the Department unable to interview R1, the two allegations are closed as unsubstantiated. A finding that a complaint is unsubstantiated means that although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that violations occurred. No deficiency cited. Exit interview conducted and copy of this report provided.

...Continued from LIC 9099 On the allegation: Staff did not respond to resident's call button in a timely manner. LPA spoke with staff (S1) who stated that they do not keep an archive of calls from the call buttons, and they no longer have the records from 2023. Review of current call button logs indicated that the average call button response time is 6 minutes and 9 seconds. This allegation is unsubstantiated. On the allegation: Staff did not prevent resident from having bed bugs. LPA spoke with S1 who stated that they have not had any resent situations involving bed bugs or any other insects. S1 stated that if they were to have any sort of report of bugs/pest from the residents they would contact their contracted pest control company to do come to do additional services on top of the quarterly preventative services they are already scheduled for. R1’s medical records have no mention of bug bites on resident. This allegation is unsubstantiated. On the allegation: Staff are not providing adequate food service to residents During investigation, LPA interviewed staff (ED, S1, S2) who stated they purchase food supplies for clients’ meals every week and prepare meals as scheduled on their weekly meal plans. Residents (R2, R3, R4) confirmed with LPA that staff provide them with adequate meals and that they are satisfied with the food service. Therefore, the allegation that staff are not providing adequate food service to residents is unsubstantiated. Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there are not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED .
