Inspector: Komal Charitra
Plain-language summary
This was a complaint investigation that found mixed results. A complaint about medication frequency was unsubstantiated because the facility and the resident gave conflicting accounts and there was not enough evidence to determine what actually happened. However, a separate allegation about bed bugs was substantiated—a resident developed bites that a hospital discharge note confirmed were caused by bed bugs, and the facility's pest control records showed only specific rooms were treated rather than comprehensive treatment after bed bugs were discovered in March 2024.

According to the administrator and invoices provided by the facility as a contract between Western Exterminator Company and Hopkins Manor was not provided, it was noted that the bed bug monthly inspection initially began in March of 2024 when a housekeeper observed bed bugs, however all invoices show that specific rooms were only treated. LPA reviewed records and conducted interviews with R1 and staff (S1) and (S2). Upon review of the hospital discharge papers, it was indicated that the cause of R1's bites was the result of bed bugs. Based on all the above information, along with the hospital discharge note where a medical professional determined the bites were the result of bed bugs, this allegation is found to be true.

During an investigation of a complaint in October 2024, inspectors found that the facility had an ongoing bed bug problem since March 2024, but the extermination contract only covered rodents and insects generally—bed bugs were not specifically addressed in the services being provided. The administrator did not follow up to ensure the facility's pest control vendor was actually treating bed bugs, leaving residents in an unsafe environment.

On October 18, 2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Komal Charitra conducted an unannounced case-management visit in relation to complaint #: 14-AS-20241015090138. LPA met with Administrator, Ricardo Aban and explained the purpose of the visit. During the complaint investigation conducted on 10/18/24, the facility has had bed bugs as an ongoing problem since March 7, 2024. LPA reviewed and obtained documentation related to exterminator services conducted by Western Exterminator Company. Based on review of this, it appears these services have been ongoing for ten (10) years with monthly provider services. However, upon further review of this, this extermination services contract with facility indicates, the services are specific for rodents and insects. Nowhere in these extermination services is listed as bed bugs being addressed. Based on this, it proves there was a lack of follow through on the part of the facility administrator for accountability, failing to ensure the best interest and welfare of their residents, and failing to establish policies regarding operation within licensing regulations. In addition, the administrator also failed to take responsibility and administer the facility operation in accordance with licensing regulations, resulting in an unsafe environment for residents. The deficiencies cited on the following page are in violation of the California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8. Failure to correct said deficiencies may result in additional civil penalties.
