The investigation revealed the following Allegation 1: Staff do not ensure that resident has a sanitary drinking dish At 9:35 AM , LPA attempted to interview R1, who was not willing to engage in a conversation. LPA observed R1 with a purple thermos. R1’s personal companion opened the thermos, which was filled with water, and no mold was observed. LPA did observe other residents drinking water or juice from clear cups during the visit. At 9:45AM, LPA conducted interviews with staff members (S1–S7) and 7 out of 7 staff members stated that staff ensure residents’ cups are cleaned and sanitized daily throughout the day. Staff reported that residents typically receive only water in their personal bottles/cups. Juices are served in facility provided clear cups, which are cleaned after each use. When asked if mold had ever been seen in any residents’ personal cups, 7 out of 7 staff members stated they had not observed mold in any cups. When asked if residents are allowed to drink from their own personal cups, 7 out of 7 staff members stated yes, and that personal cups are also cleaned and sanitized daily. LPA Allen interviewed Witness (W1), who stated they heard about R1’s personal cup having mold but they did not personally observe any mold during the week of 10/20/2025 through 10/24/2025. W1 stated R1 normally drinks orange-colored Pedialyte in their personal cup. When asked if staff clean and sanitize the cup, W1 responded yes.

The investigation revealed the following: Allegation: Facility staff did not seek timely medical attention for resident. It was alleged that facility staff did not obtain urgent medical assistance for a resident after the resident experienced a fall and later reported feeling ill with numbness on one side of the body. It was further alleged that staff delayed contacting emergency services and instead arranged non-emergency transport several hours after the resident’s symptoms were reported. The resident was subsequently transported to a hospital, where diagnostic testing determined the resident had suffered a stroke On 03/11/2026 between the hours of 10:52am - 11:49am, the Department conducted an interview with the Administrator (A1) regarding the allegation. A1 denied the allegation. A1 stated the resident showed no signs of injury after the fall and initially denied pain. A1 reported that later in the morning the resident complained of soreness on the left side, and the Medtech on duty contacted non-emergency medical transport because the resident did not appear to be in immediate distress. A1 explained that staff made this decision rather than wait for the R1's family member who was called multiple times and did not answer to transport the resident, as staff had previously received pushback from the fire department for calling 911 for situations they considered non-emergencies. A1 stated that staff were instructed that moving forward, 911 should be contacted when a resident shows any concerning symptoms, and if the fire department has concerns, they are to contact the Administrator directly. A1 reported that staff assessed the resident, notified the resident power of attorney, and arranged transport consistent with their understanding of protocol at the time.

Staff reported that the resident fell during the overnight shift, initially with resident denying pain, and appeared stable. Staff stated that the next day in the morning the resident reported left-side discomfort, and initial contacted non-emergency dispatch and Premier transport was contacted. Some staff reported attempts to contact the resident family member multiples times, while other staff stated that 911 was not called immediately after the fall because the resident initially felt no pain. Staff described following internal communication procedures and notifying supervisors. On 03/11/2026 between the hours 11:20am - 11:47am and 03/12/2026 between the hours of 10:45am - 11:10am, the department conducted 11 resident interviews.  11 of 11 residents denied the allegation. Residents generally reported that  staff respond to their needs in a timely manner, feel safe in the facility, and did not report concerns about delays in medical care. One resident who experienced the incident stated staff assisted and medical help was obtained, though transport which took time. The residents had no knowledge of the incident or reported no issues with staff responsiveness. On 04/10/2026, between 2:32 pm - 4:00pm, the Department conducted a record review and observed the following: on 03/01/2026 at 3:39 am, the facility’s wearable monitoring system detected a fall involving the resident. According to incident notes created on 03/03/2026, the resident reported falling while reaching for a remote and landing on their buttocks, which was also documented in a facility group text message at 5:53am on the same date. The notes further indicated that at 10:24 am, the resident reported difficulty moving the left side of their body, and non-emergency medical transport was contacted for evaluation. Staff documented multiple attempts to contact the resident’s responsible party at 5:36 am, 11:30 am, and 11:41 am, with voicemail inbox full, and a text message was sent notifying the responsible party that the resident was being transported for evaluation. Staff documented that the resident was assessed with no visible injuries such as bumps or bruising. Records also showed that the resident later complained of left-side pain at 1:45 p.m. and was transported to the hospital. A progress note dated 03/02/2026 at 1:57pm indicated that the hospital initially reported no stroke on CT scan, but an MRI later confirmed a stroke. Report continues on LIC 9099-C 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 Hospital records from 03/01/2026 - 03/05/2026 documented that the resident was admitted with left-sided weakness. A CT scan initially showed no acute findings. An MRI performed on 03/01/2026 revealed an “acute/recent patchy infarct in the posterior right frontal lobe/precentral gyrus,” confirming an acute ischemic stroke. The resident remained hospitalized through 03/05/2026, receiving dual anti platelet therapy, statin therapy, neurological monitoring, and rehabilitative services. Upon further review, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), common symptoms of an acute stroke include sudden weakness or numbness on one side of the body, difficulty speaking, facial drooping, or loss of coordination, which are consistent with the left sided weakness documented in the hospital record. Based on information gathered through interviews and record reviews, there is not enough evidence to support allegation that staff knowingly delayed emergency medical care or failed to respond when symptoms were reported. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur. Therefore, the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. Exit interview conducted with Robert Jakini (Administrator) and a copy of this report was provided.

Plain-language summary

This investigation looked into a complaint that staff failed to notify a healthcare provider when a resident showed signs of a possible urinary tract infection. While one witness reported that facility staff were told about concerns on March 19, 2026 but did not notify the doctor, the administrator and three staff members denied observing any change in condition before March 20, and records showed the resident was prescribed antibiotics starting March 23 after the family took them for evaluation—the investigation found insufficient evidence to prove the allegation either way.

A1 stated the facility was not aware of a confirmed diagnosis until after the resident was seen by Welbe Health and that the family had already contacted Welbe directly. A1 stated the facility's protocol for a suspected UTI is to request a urinalysis from the appropriate medical professionals and follow all guidance provided, including medication administration. On 03/24/2026 between the hours of 9:25am -10:18am, the department interview 3 staff in regards to the allegation. 3 out of 3 staff denied the allegation. Staff stated they did not observe or receive notification of any change in the resident's condition prior to 03/20/2026 and that Welbe Health was not notified because no change in condition had been identified. Staff stated the facility's protocol when a change in condition or suspected UTI is identified is to report to the MedTech, who is then responsible for notifying the healthcare provider. On 03/24/2026 between the hours of 10:36am - 11:43am, the department 10 residents in regards to the allegation 1 out of 10 residents confirmed having a UTI but was unable to confirm how the facility staff addressed this situation.

R1's Service Plan (dated 07/29/2025) indicated the resident requires reminders, verbal cues, and assistance with incontinence care in the AM, PM, and nighttime, with a toileting schedule to be followed by female staff only. The Regency Palms Senior Living Standard Operating Procedures (revision date 01/01/2026), under the Significant Change of Condition Policy, requires the facility to promptly identify, report, evaluate, and address any significant change in a resident's physical, cognitive, or behavioral condition and to coordinate with the resident, responsible party, and medical providers. The policy notes that a significant change is not an established, predictive, cyclic pattern such as frequent urinary tract infections. The Medication Administrator Record (MAR) for March 2026 shows R1 was prescribed Nitrofurantoin Mono-MCR 100 MG (as of 03/23/2026) to be taken twice for five (5) days with the stop date on March 28, 2026.

All 3 out of 3 staff members stated that the facility ensures residents receive their correspondence in a timely manner. 3 out of 3 staff members explained that when mail is delivered by the mail carrier, it is immediately sorted, separated by floors, and distributed to residents in the Assisted Living Unit (ALU) by the end of the day. 3 out of 3 staff members stated that mail for residents in the Memory Care Unit (MCU) is held at the front desk in a locked, sorted cabinet. This process is in place because residents in the MCU have dementia and are unable to manage or keep track of their mail. According to S1–S3, mail for MCU residents is released only to responsible parties, family members, or the Power of Attorney (POA) upon request. Staff emphasized that they do not provide resident mail to anyone who is not the designated responsible party. 3 out of 3 staff members reported that the resident’s mail in question had accumulated for approximately four months because the POA was not picking up the mail, despite staff’s attempts to contact the POA. Staff stated that the mail continued to pile up and that family members frequently came in on weekends after hours requesting the mail, which could not be released at those times because it was secured. S1 stated that they reached out to the POA and offered either to mail the resident’s correspondence directly to them or to arrange a specific time for the mail to be picked up from the facility. All three staff members confirmed that the facility has established procedures to ensure residents receive their correspondence in a timely manner and denied the allegation. During today's visit, LPA Bunker also observed staff actively distributing mail to residents. On 03/17/2026, between 10:25 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., LPA Bunker conducted interviews with residents R1–R5. 5 out of 5 residents stated that staff ensure they receive their mail in a prompt and timely manner and reported no issues with receiving their correspondence when it is delivered by the mail carrier. Three out of three residents interviewed regarding this allegation denied that staff fail to provide mail in a timely manner.

Based on interviews, available evidence, observation, information received, and records reviewed, there was not enough sufficient evidence to support the allegation. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is deemed unsubstantiated. There were no deficiencies cited. A copy of the Complaint Investigation Report LIC9099 and LIC9099-Cs was provided to Robert Jakini, Executive Director. An exit interview was conducted.

INVESTIGATION REVEALED THE FOLLOWING: Allegation: Staff did not notify resident's responsible party of a change in resident's condition. It is alleged that the facility failed to notify the party responsible of Resident #1 (R1) regarding a change in the resident’s condition. Reports indicate that (R1) began exhibiting symptoms of a stroke on Saturday, February 28, 2026, yet the facility did not inform the responsible party. While it is unclear whether (R1) had a stroke on February 28, 2026, there was a noticeable change in condition, and no responsible party was notified. The following day, March 1, 2026, (R1) fell; however, the party responsible was not informed of the severity of the fall. The reports indicate that the fall occurred when (R1) reached for a television remote. No additional information has been provided regarding this incident. On March 12, 2026, between 10:45 AM and 11:10 AM, the Department interviewed a resident member identified as Resident #1. (R1) remembered feeling unwell on February 28, 2026, and then experiencing a fall. R1 said that (R1) didn't know exactly how (R1) felt but was sure (R1) did not feel well. After going to the hospital, doctors diagnosed (R1) with a mild stroke based on an MRI scan, which showed it affected the left side of (R1's) body. (R1) explained that when (R1) felt unwell, the facility staff responded immediately and called for medical assistance; however, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) did not arrive promptly. During the interview, (R1) confirmed that the person responsible for (R1) was informed about (R1's) health change. (R1) also said this person was allowed to talk with (R1). (R1) described the fall as happening when (R1) reached for the television remote, lost balance, and slipped. (R1) agreed to go to the hospital for treatment. Overall, R1 reported that the facility staff treated (R1) well, responded quickly to (R1's) needs, and always provided (R1) with medical help. On March 12, 2026, between 11:30 AM and 1:00 PM, the Department interviewed staff members identified as Staff #1 through Staff #4 (S1-S4). Three (3) out of the four (4) staff members could not corroborate this claim. All staff members confirmed that the family representative was notified. They explained that on the evening of February 28, 2026, the resident (R1) did not feel well, but staff did not consider it a significant change in the resident's condition as (R1) was fine the day before. (Evaluation Report continues) 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 Staff members (S2-S4) stated they are not trained medical professionals and indicated they could not determine if (R1) was experiencing a stroke. This was only verified after (R1) was hospitalized and had a (MRI). Prior to the (MRI) the hospital contacted the facility and made the medical assessment that (R1) did not have a stroke. Even the hospital was uncertain. During the assessment at the facility, (R1) reported feeling unwell but did not want to request medical attention. The following morning, (R1) experienced a fall and even then (R1) refused medical attention Staff assisted (R1), who claimed to have no injuries that would require calling 9-1-1. During this time, facility staff attempted to contact the family representative several times by phone and text, but there was no response. (S2-S4) explained that the proper procedure for care staff is to notify the medication technician if they observe a change in a resident's condition, who will then report to the Wellness Nurse. However, (S2-S4) clarified that the facility took proactive measures by contacting 9-1-1 after (R1) fell, and non-emergency paramedics and EMTs determined that the situation was non-emergency. The Department reviewed Resident #1 (R1’s) Medical Assessment for Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly LIC 602A (dated 08/01/25), Identification and Emergency Information LIC 601 (dated 12/20/24), Resident Assessment (dated 12/31/25), Unusual Incident Report LIC 624 (dated 03/03/26), St. Mary’s Hospital Medical Records, Email Communications (dated 03/06/26) and Durable Power of Attorney for Management of Property and Personal Affairs (dated 06/15/24). Further review of Communication Logs (dated 03/01/2026 & 03/03/2025), Alert Report for Care Predict (03/01/2026), Staff Schedule (dated 02/22/2026 - 03/07/2026) and Notice of Employee as to Change in Relationship (03/05/2026) verified that (R1’s) was notified multiple times on March 1, 2026, between 05:27 AM and 11:41 AM with phone calls and messages. The Community Care Licensing Unusual Incident Report LIC 624 revealed the family representative was notified. Based on the information gathered, there is not enough evidence to support the allegation mentioned above. Based on the information gathered from the facility, observations, interviews, and records analysis, the Department found no evidence to support the above allegation. The allegation may have happened or is valid, but there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred. Therefore, the allegation is Unsubstantiated . An exit interview was conducted with Robert Jakini, and copies of the reports were provided.

Plain-language summary

On November 12, 2025, the department investigated complaints about medication handling at this facility and found that staff falsified medication records and mishandled a resident's medications—specifically, a discontinued medication continued to be marked as given, and prescribed medications were not administered on the correct schedule. The department could not substantiate a separate allegation that medication mismanagement caused a resident's hospitalization, as a physician stated it was difficult to determine whether the medication errors or the resident's declining health led to the hospitalization. The facility was cited for violations and assessed a civil penalty for a repeat violation.

Allegation #2: Staff falsified a resident's records while the resident was in care. Regarding the allegation, “ Staff falsified a resident's records while in care ,” The complaint alleged that staff are initialing medications they do not have or that have been discontinued. During the department visit on 11/12/25, the department interviewed six residents, #1-6 (R1-R6), who denied the allegations. The department also interviewed three staff members, #1-3 (S1-S3). Two of the three staff members stated they mishandled R1’s medication while in care. The department reviewed the QuikMAR system and the medications for Resident #1 (R1). It was noted that two medications for R1 were marked as administered; however, one medication, Fluoxetine HCl 10 mg capsule, had been discontinued on July 7, 2024, but still appeared as administered in May 2025. Additionally, a new prescription for Fluoxetine HCl 40 mg capsule was issued on July 7, 2024, but it was also discontinued in May 2025. The Department reviewed QuikMAR for Resident #1 and found the documentation for medication administration insufficient. Medications intended for oral administration as a single tablet every 12 hours were not accurately recorded. Med Tech did not initiate some entries; some medications were not documented when they were refused or when residents were out of the community; and others should not have been initiated for various reasons. Additionally, these medications should not be included on the list for administration by Med Tech for Resident #1 (R1). 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 Regarding the allegation, “ Staff falsified a resident's records while in care ,” based on record reviews, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation(s) is found to be substantiated . The California Code of Regulations (Title 22, Division 6 & Chapter 8) is cited in the attached LIC 9099D. A civil penalty was assessed for a repeat violation within the last 12 months. Allegation: #3: Staff mishandled a resident's medications while in care Regarding the allegation that “Staff mishandled a resident's medications while in care,” it is alleged that the staff is not dispensing medications as prescribed. A review of R1’s April 2025 QuikMAR showed that several medications scheduled for twice daily were not administered correctly. For example, the Sodium Chloride 1GM Tablet prescribed by the doctor on April 8 was intended to be taken twice daily, in the morning and evening. The department's April 2025 QuikMAR records indicated that R1 did not receive the medication from April 8 to April 13. Later, in May 2025, the QuikMAR record showed the medication was given from May 1 to May 15, 2025, except for the morning of May 16 and the afternoon of May 17. The Department interviewed three staff members, #1-3 (S1-S3). Two of the three staff members suggested that medication handling was mishandled during R1's care. The Department also interviewed the Executive Director (ED), who stated that QuikMAR identified inconsistencies in the administration of R1’s sodium tablets and other medications. 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 However, the facility staff provided quality care to residents. Additionally, the Department interviewed MP, who was unable to confirm whether the medication mishandling caused R1’s hospitalization. The Department also interviewed R1, who said R1 liked living there. During interviews on 11/12/2025, six residents (R1-R6) were asked whether staff had signed off and whether Med Tech had provided medications; all six confirmed that Med Tech had given them their medications as prescribed. During the investigation, the Department found evidence supporting the allegations. Based on the Department interviews which were conducted and record review (s), the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation(s) is found to be Substantiated. California Code of Regulations (Title 22, Division 6 & Chapter 8) is being cited on the attached LIC 9099D. Deficiencies were cited. A copy of this report and the appeal rights were provided to the Executive Director, Jakini Robert. 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 Allegation: #1: Staff neglect resulted in a resident to be hospitalized The complaint alleged that, due to their negligence in managing R1's medications, sodium chloride was not administered to R1, who had recently been prescribed it by an emergency room physician (ER). R1 ended up in the hospital for a week with severe hyponatremia. On 06/13/2025, the Department interviewed the Executive Director (ED) and the three staff members #1-3 (S1-S3), who acknowledged a possible error in documenting medication administration. On 08/01/2025, the Department interviewed the Medical Physician (MP), who stated that it is difficult to determine whether any lack of medications caused the hospitalization of resident #1 (R1). They also stated that R1's declining health could be a factor. On 11/12/2025, the department interviewed six residents, #1-6 (R1-R6), all of whom denied the allegation and stated that facility staff helped them with their medications. R1 also stated that R1 likes living at the facility and receiving medication as prescribed. Regarding the allegation, “Staff neglect resulted in a resident being hospitalized,” based on record reviews and interviews, the Department found no evidence to support the allegation mentioned above. Although the allegation may have occurred or be valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove whether the alleged violation did or did not occur; as a result, the allegation is Unsubstantiated.

The investigation revealed the following: Allegation: Staff did not prevent a resident from developing multiple pressure injuries while in care. It was alleged that a resident developed a pressure injury on the buttock area that was approximately the size of a grapefruit. It was further alleged that the pressure injury was severe, with visible muscle and tissue exposed and no skin covering the affected area. Additionally, it was alleged that the resident had two additional pressure injuries located on the hips. The reporting party was unsure of the staging of these pressure injuries.

The wound care nurse sees R1 three times a week, with the wound being cleaned, bandages changed, and debridement performed. On 11/04/2025, between the hours of 8:42 am -12:20pm, the LPA interviewed 7 staff regarding the allegation. 4 of 7 staff members denied the allegation and stated there were no concerns with staff properly repositioning or cleaning pressure injuries as directed by the facility and the wound care nurse. 3 of 7 staff members did not confirm nor deny the allegation and stated not working on the floor that the resident resides and did not express any concerns repositioning or cleaning the resident's pressure injury. On 11/04/2025, between the hours of 9:09am - 10:47am, the LPA interviewed 6 residents regarding the allegation. 6 of 6 residents denied the allegation and stated they have never experienced having any pressure injuries nor receiving wound care from a nurse. On 11/04/2025, LPA observed in R1's room that the facility provided the resident with a mattress that is specific for non-ambulatory or bedridden residents to help minimize pressure injuries.

The Department also interviewed Witness 1, who stated they had no concerns regarding staff repositioning of Resident 1 or the cleaning and care of the resident’s wounds.

A1 stated that depending on the resident's care plan, prompting and/or assistance is provided two times per day, as tolerated, for how often residents' teeth are brushed throughout the day. As it pertains to R1, the facility swabs their teeth, as the resident cannot safely swallow and is an aspiration risk. Additionally, R1's teeth show signs of decay consistent with her age and previous dental care. A1 stated the facility does not coordinate dental care for R1, as this matter is managed by the family. A1 also mentioned that at this point of R1's disease process, the resident could not receive dental care, as they could not get a dentist and R1 would not be able to survive the procedures. R1 is currently on hospice at the end of life, and comfort care is being administered per her Power of Attorney (POA).

Plain-language summary

A complaint investigation found that a resident sustained a fall on November 26, 2024, that resulted in head trauma, a wrist fracture, and bleeding in the brain; the resident died ten days later from cardiac arrest. The investigation determined that the facility failed to provide adequate supervision by not maintaining a working motion sensor in the resident's room—staff had been turning the sensor off to preserve batteries—and failed to update the resident's care plan after two prior falls in 2023. The facility's prior falls should have triggered a reassessment and blood pressure check, which were never done.

Of those interviewed, 7 out of 20 staff were aware that R1’s motion sensor was turned off or not operable, and 13 out of 20 staff said they did not know if R1’s motion sensor was turned off or not operable. An interview conducted with S1 revealed that at one point they were informed that staff members were turning off the sensors, so an in-service training was provided, and staff was informed not to turn off the sensors. Additionally, S1 confirmed R1’s prior falls in July and October 2023 and acknowledged that such incidents should have triggered a reassessment and care plan update, including checking blood pressure, which was never done. An interview conducted with S4 revealed that caregivers sometimes turned the sensor off to help preserve the batteries when R1 wasn’t in the room. An interview conducted with S5 revealed they would find the sensors off during their morning shift, and that they notified S1 about this issue, and an in service training was provided to all staff.

Of those interviewed, 6 out 6 residents did not know if anyone had fallen and sustained injuries resulting from facility neglect. 6 out of 6 residents said the facility provides them with the necessary care and supervision. Based on evidence gathered, interviews conducted, and records reviewed, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be Substantiated . California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6, and Chapter 8 are being cited on the attached LIC9099-D. Allegation: Staff did not report resident's incidents to resident's authorized representative. It is being alleged that staff rarely called a resident’s responsible party about incidents including bruises to the residents body. The department interviewed S1-S20, of those interviewed, 3 out of 20 staff corroborated the allegation. Staff added that doctors and family were not notified of R1's injuries or change in condition which included R1's eating habits and ability to ambulate. On 10/15/25, the department interviewed R2-R7, and were unable to interview R1, as they passed away on 12/06/24. Of those interviewed, 4 out 6 residents said they did not know if staff reported any incidents to their authorized representative, and 2 out of 6 residents said that staff does report any incidents to their authorized representative. The department conducted an interview with W1. Per W1, R1 had several falls leading up to their fall on 11/26/24. In that time period, facility did not advise them of any changes they would be making to prevent R1 from falling. W1 added that they were not informed of injuries R1 sustained in month on November 2024, they only found out about them because they observed the injuries themselves. The department conducted a review of records gathered during the investigation. A review of the Resident Assessment dated 10/10/23 indicates that R1 needs assistance with observation & fall management. Resident’s Annual Assessment Form dated 07/11/24 indicated that staff were to conduct status checks on R1 2-3 times each shift. Continued on LIC9099-C 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 department reviewed Facility body check forms which noted injuries on the following days: 11/07/2024 (bruise and swelling to left hand fingers), 11/12/24 (dry skin on left knee and lower leg, along with bruising to both elbows), and 11/14/2024 (skin tear on left elbow).

Email notes that R1’s family member picked up R1 from the facility on 11/20/24 and noticed their elbow was bandaged and their forearm very bruised. R1’s family member asked S4 and S13 if they knew what caused it because two weeks prior, R1’s hand was black and blue and very sore with no explanation. Additionally, R1’s family member said that if it was from a fall, they would need to know because R1’s has anemia and may be light-headed, so they would have to notify R1’s doctor. Based on evidence gathered, interviews conducted, and records reviewed, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be Substantiated. California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6, and Chapter 8 are being cited on the attached LIC9099-D.

A review of R1’s medical and facility records revealed that R1 was a known fall risk who required significant assistance with mobility and Activities of Daily Living (ADLs). According to R1’s Individual Service Plan dated 7/3/2024, R1 required extensive assistance with mobility and toileting to prevent falls, and staff were directed to encourage and ensure the use of assistive devices such as walkers or canes. The Physician’s Report dated 8/19/2024, documented that R1 was non-ambulatory, required total assistance and supervision, and needed assistance with toileting. Similarly, R1’s Preplacement Appraisal Information dated 8/24/2024, indicated that R1 had a wobbly gait, needed physical assistance from another person for stability while walking, and required toileting assistance. According to medical records from St. Mary Medical Center-Long Beach, R1 was admitted to the hospital on 12/31/2024 and diagnosed with right hip fracture. Video surveillance from 12/31/2024, showed the following: at 7:35:24 a.m., R1 was seen walking toward the bathroom without an assistive device and without staff assistance, while an unidentified staff member stood nearby, looking at their phone near the bathroom door. At 7:35:44 a.m., R1 entered the bathroom alone. The staff member did not follow R1 and remained in place, still looking at their phone. At 7:36:05 a.m., a thump was heard, followed by R1 calling out, “Ay, ay, ay…” Page 3 of 6 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 staff member then approached and entered the bathroom at 7:36:08 a.m., where R1 could be heard saying, “Ay, ay, ay. I fell.” The staff member responded, “Oh my god, are you okay? You’re okay, you’re okay, honey.” At 8:00:42 a.m., video surveillance showed that R1’s walker was not within reach of the bed and that R1’s bedroom door was closed. At 8:00:44 a.m., R1 was observed getting out of bed, putting on slippers, and attempting to walk toward the walker. At 8:01:32 a.m., R1 fell onto the floor beside the bed and repeatedly called out, “Ay, ay, ay” for roughly two minutes. At 8:03:59 a.m., another staff member opened R1’s bedroom door, entered the room, and began assisting R1. Emergency personnel were later called, and R1 was transported to the hospital. Interviews conducted with staff members S1, S2, W5, and W9 confirmed that R1 was recognized by all four individuals as a fall risk who required frequent redirection and regular safety checks. Based on the evidence, on 12/31/2024, R1 did not receive the necessary assistance or care & supervision with mobility, transfers, and toileting as outlined in their care plan and medical documentation. The lack of appropriate supervision and failure to implement R1’s individualized care needs resulted in two consecutive falls on the same morning, ultimately leading to R1’s hospitalization and diagnosis of a hip fracture. Based on observations, interviews and record review(s), the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation(s) is found to be substantiated. California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6 and Chapter 8 are being cited on the attached LIC 9099D. An immediate Civil Penalty of $500.00 is being assessed please see attached LIC421IM.

Plain-language summary

Investigators looked into two complaints: that staff weren't bathing residents according to care plans, and that staff were locking residents out of their bedrooms. Interviews with staff and residents, along with a review of shower schedules and care plans, did not find evidence that either violation occurred—all staff and residents interviewed denied the allegations, and shower records showed bathing was being provided as planned.

Plain-language summary

A complaint investigation found that residents were given tracking devices without documented consent from residents or their families, despite the facility's claim that consent was included in admission agreements—nine of eleven residents interviewed stated they did not remember signing any consent form for wearing the devices. The facility stated the devices are fall-detection pendants that collect health and location data within the facility, and that residents and families were informed about them, though staff interviews and resident accounts conflicted with this account. The allegation of undocumented consent for the devices was not fully substantiated due to insufficient evidence, though the investigation did confirm the devices were being used to monitor residents' locations, heart rate, bathroom usage, and other behavioral patterns.

On September 4, 2025, at 9:15 AM , LPA attempted another interview with R1. However, R1 was unable to stay on topic or engage in a clear conversation. During this time, LPA observed Staff Member 4 (S4) assisting R1 with eating oatmeal, drinking water, and consuming a bottled Starbucks Vanilla Frappuccino (cold brew). At 12:26 PM , LPA reviewed R1’s file, including physician reports dated April 23, 2025, and July 29, 2025 , as well as the Acacia Hospice of Southern California service plan dated August 5, 2025 . None of these documents indicated that R1 had experienced dehydration or excessive weight loss. Allegation #2: Staff do not ensure that resident is hydrated The investigation revealed the following: On September 3, 2025, at 10:00 AM, LPA Allen interviewed Staff Members 1 through 9 (S1–S9). All staff stated that residents are encouraged to drink water daily and hourly. During the facility tour, staff pointed out water stations available to residents on floors 4, 5, and 6. At 12:00 PM, LPA interviewed Residents 1 through 7 (R1–R7). Six out of seven residents confirmed they are provided meals daily, including beverages such as water and juice, and that staff encourage them to drink water every hour throughout the day. LPA again attempted to interview R1 on three separate occasions, but R1 was asleep each time.

However, R1 was unable to stay on topic or engage in a coherent conversation. Despite this, LPA observed R1 being assisted by S4 while consuming oatmeal, water, and a bottled Starbucks Vanilla Frappuccino (cold brew). LPA also interviewed Witness 1 (W1), who expressed concerns about R1’s water intake and hydration. However, a review of end-of-shift notes dated August 21, 22, 23, 29, and September 2, 2025 confirmed that R1 was provided water on those dates. Additionally, LPA directly observed R1 drinking water during the visit. Based on interviews, documents reviewed and observation during the investigation, the above allegation is found to be Unsubstantiated; meaning that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur. An exit interview was conducted where this report was discussed and provided to Robert Jakini- Administrator at conclusion of the visit.

Plain-language summary

A complaint investigation found that staff failed to properly administer a resident's medication—the medication count showed 20 pills remaining when only 11 should have been left if doses were given daily as documented—and the facility failed to timely report an incident between residents that occurred on April 13, 2025, only faxing the report on July 1, 2025. The investigation did not substantiate an allegation that the facility unlawfully evicted the resident, as the eviction notice documented specific policy violations including aggressive behavior toward staff and residents and unauthorized use of video recording devices. Both substantiated violations resulted in citations.

Plain-language summary

A complaint investigation found that the facility issued a 30-day eviction notice to a resident in April 2025 that lacked the specific reasons and details required by state law, though the facility dismissed the notice by May 19, 2025. Staff interviews did not support allegations that the eviction was retaliation for the resident's family member's involvement with the facility's Family Council, and the resident reported feeling treated well by staff with no experience of mistreatment. The resident was reportedly unaware an eviction notice had been issued.

Plain-language summary

During a complaint investigation in March 2025, inspectors found that medications were not being given as prescribed: seven residents' medications did not match what was documented, three residents had medications listed on records that did not exist, and three residents had medications in their possession that were not listed—and inspectors confirmed that staff members had signed off on giving medications that were still in their packaging. Four of nine staff members interviewed admitted there were times they or colleagues had falsely documented that medications were provided when they were not. A third allegation about missing clothing could not be proven with sufficient evidence, though some staff and residents reported items occasionally going missing or getting mixed up.
