The Rulebook

The rules that apply to this facility.

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.

What dementia-care training must staff complete?22 CCR §87705 / HSC §1569.625
+
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?

Based on interviews and records review, the facility did not meet the needs of R1 as there was a delay in sending R1 to get further medical treatment when R1 was expressing pain, which poses an immediate health and safety risk to residents in care.

(Cont. from LIC 9099) According to the interviews with facility staff, hospice care staff, and family member, R1 is bedridden and hardly moves while in bed. R1 has never attempted to climb out of bed without assistance and R1 has never been found on the floor after an unwitnessed fall. Hospice nurse, H3 stated he/she does not believe R1 suffered a fall. There is no evidence or witnesses to corroborate the allegation of Neglect/Lack of Care and Supervision resulting in R1 sustaining a fractured left arm. Based on interviews and records review, the department has determined 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, therefore the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report along with Licensee Rights (LIC 9058 03/22) were provided to Medical Technician Gloria Castro , whose signature below confirms receipt of these rights. 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 (Cont. from LIC 9099) On the evening of 1/13/2025, S2 heard R1 in the room screaming when a caregiver was attempting to change R1s clothing for bed. S2 went to check and noticed R1 had bruising from the left shoulder to the elbow and R1s elbow was swollen. S2 notified hospice of R1s condition. The hospice representative told S2 there was no on-call nurse available to visit R1 and that R1 had a scheduled visit with a hospice nurse on 1/14/2025. The nurse visited R1 on 1/14/2025 and had R1 transported to the hospital to be evaluated. Hospice was notified immediately when R1 expressed pain in R1s left arm and again when bruising and swelling was noticed. Facility staff were directed by Hospice staff to give R1 the prescribed pain medication and did not send a nurse to the facility as requested to evaluate R1. There was the delay as R1 had advised they were expressing pain. Although the facility did contact the hospice agency, the hospice agency advised they can’t come out until the next day and left R1 without medical care after expressing pain. It was not until the hospice agency came and then advised the facility to send R1 to the hospital. The facility should have sought further medical treatment since the resident was expressing pain. At the time of the complaint visit the licensee was informed that the incident is currently under review and a future civil penalty may apply based on Health and Safety Code § 1569.49. Based on interviews which were conducted and record reviews, 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, Chapter 8, is being cited on the attached LIC 9099D. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report along with Licensee Rights (LIC 9058 03/22) were provided to Medical Technician Gloria Castro , whose signature below confirms receipt of these rights.

...Continued from 9099 and staff from St. Paul’s PACE provided nursing support to monitor her condition. According to S1, R1 disliked the colostomy bag and would occasionally pull on the tubing, causing leaks and soiling her clothing and bedding. R1 was no longer able to use the toilet independently and began wearing adult diapers (Depends) to prevent accidents. Shortly after R1 began using Depends, staff observed a rash developing around her vaginal area. During the interview, R1 did not report any concerns regarding staff or her own well-being. Facility staff and PACE nursing staff continued to monitor her condition. Based on the information available, there is insufficient evidence to conclude that the blisters or rash in R1’s vaginal area were the result of sexual abuse. On the allegation: Resident sustained unexplained injury while in care. Interviews and documentation indicate that the blisters observed on R1 were identified by facility staff and promptly reported to the PACE nursing team and W2. Following recent surgery, R1 returned to the facility with a new colostomy bag. According to S1, R1 often expressed discomfort with the colostomy bag and would occasionally pull on the tubing, causing leaks that contributed to skin irritation and the development of blisters. Facility staff and PACE nursing staff monitored R1’s condition. Based on the information obtained, there is insufficient evidence to conclude that R1’s injuries were the result of abuse or neglect. Therefore, 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 or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. Exit interview conducted and a copy of this report provided via email.

S1 and S2 stated R1 was a very complicated resident. S1 stated R1 always said he/she had to leave the facility to go with R1s son and when staff would try and redirect R1, R1 would become upset and hit staff with a cane and say mean things to them in Spanish. S2 stated staff had to rotate constantly when dealing with R1 because they noticed R1 would become a bit calmer when R1 would see a new face and didn’t like dealing with the same staff member the whole day. On 02/06/2024, S1 was working his/her shift as a MedTech and preparing medications to pass out when S1 saw R1 walking toward the front door. S1 told R1 to not go outside, and R1 proceeded to walk out the front door acting like R1 didn’t hear what S1 said. S1 went after R1 but before doing so S1 needed to secure the medication cart and lock it before going outside. S1 said when R1 finally went out the front door, S1 told R1 to come inside, and R1 turned around and began swinging his/her cane toward S1. S1 said as R1 was swinging the cane facing S1, R1 was also walking backwards and suddenly R1 tripped over R1s own feet and fell to the floor landing on his/her left arm. S1 said she did a head-to-toe assessment on R1 and also called for help over the radio. S1 said R1 said he/she had no pain on his/her body or legs. S1 mentioned that S2 arrived and they helped R1 up onto a patio chair and that’s when R1 started complaining of wrist pain and S1 called S4 to come. S1 told me once S4 came, S4 decided to call 911 to get R1’s injuries further checked out and medics arrived and transported R1 to the hospital where R1 was later diagnosed with a fractured left wrist. S3 and S5, stated the complaint received about R1 eloping outside the facility is false. S5 stated the facility has a secure perimeter and staff knew R1’s whereabouts the whole time leading up to his/her fall. S3 added there are no rocks large enough to climb on facility grounds and there were no rocks near where R1 had a fall. Based on photos obtained, the facility has a facility fence preventing residents to go out of the facility without assistance. There were no rock formations that would make the residents climb and cause injury. Based on records review, according to resident appraisal dated 2/1/2024, R1 is able to ambulate with the help of a cane. page 2 of 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 For the allegation of Staff did not provide resident’s records to resident’s authorized representative, RP stated that a family member (F1) has requested information from the facility administrator and believes they are withholding information. In addition, F1 requested to view camera footage but was told that the cameras were not operational and is not being given full disclosure of the incident or full access to R1’s files. According to S3, on the day of R1s accident as well as the times F1 went to the facility, F1 asked how the incident occurred and each time F1 was told how R1 fell, and staff never avoided telling F1 anything. S3 stated no information was withheld from F1 and they had no reason to lie to F1 or not tell him/her what occurred. S3 said F1 asked for video surveillance of the incident, and they told him/her they didn’t have any footage of the fall because their cameras don’t record and are only live cameras. S3 said F1 never came to the facility asking for R1s admission agreement and if F1 did, they would have no problem giving it. S3 said a copy was provided to F1 at the beginning. S1 also added that days after the incident F1 came to the facility to collect R1s belongings and F1 had asked for a copy of R1s contract. S1 said at the time S3 and S4 were not at the facility and advised F1 that S1 couldn’t get a copy at the moment but if F1 came back when the managers were present, they will gladly provide that to F1. S1 said he/she even mentioned emailing or giving S4 a call regarding the contract and maybe S4 would be able to email it over. There were several attempts to contact RP and F1 but never received a response. Based on interviews, records review and observations, the department has determined that although the allegations may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are UNSUBSTANTIATED. Report is reviewed and a copy is provided. page 3 of 3

Staff 1 (S1) arrived at the area and separated R1 and R2 and documented the event on an Incident Report. R1 complained of pain the next day but it subsided later that evening. Staff interviews indicated R1 received a fingerprint size bruise on their shoulder. The residents and others in the area were contacted for their observation. Most of the residents contacted had Dementia diagnoses and were unable to provide statements. R1 provided their account which is consistent with the allegation reported to CCLD. R2 provided a statement saying they were sorry for striking R1. R3 was interviewed and said they did not see the incident. When asked, R3 said they never witnessed any resident strike another resident during the time they lived at the facility. LPA contacted an outside agency regarding the incident. LPA asked the outside source if they observed concerns with a lack of supervision at the facility. The outside source reviewed their records and found no complaints or related visits regarding a lack of supervision. Records were reviewed, including staffing schedules. LPA found no evidence of staff shortages. Per Staff 2’s (S2) interview and staffing level record review, there were three staff working on the day of the incident. S2 said the shift was fully staffed. S2 conducted a post-action review of the incident and did not identify lack of supervision as a contributing factor. Per S2, S1 was in the dining area at the time of the incident. S2 said the altercation happened quick but S1 was able to respond and address it immediately. LPA asked S2 about the Incident Report submitted to CCLD. The report referenced counseling was provided. S2 said the term counseling referred to communication/training regarding R2’s updated care plan was disseminated to all staff. S2 said R2’s care plan was modified in response to R2’s change in behavior. LPA interviewed S1. S1 said they were in the area when the incident occurred. S1 witnessed R2 squeeze the area of R1’s arm. S1 observed no immediate markings but said a bruise appeared on R1, 2-3 days later. S1 was in the kitchen when they heard R1 yell. S1 responded to the scene immediately and redirected the two residents. S1 said they asked residents in the area what they observed but none of the residents reported seeing anything. S1 said neither resident required one-on-one supervision or had a history of aggressive behavior. S1 prepared the LIC624 report documenting the incident. The Department has investigated the allegation that lack of supervision resulted in resident-on-resident abuse. Based upon interviews with residents, staff, and outside sources, no corroboration or information was obtained to support the allegation. No evidence was obtained to prove the incident occurred due to a lapse in supervision by staff. The Preponderance of Evidence standard was not met. Therefore, the allegation is Unsubstantiated. 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 An exit interview was conducted with Ms. Guerrero and a copy of this report was provided to Ms. Guerrero whose signature below confirms receipt of copies of this report and Licensee Rights (LIC 9058).
