While at the facility delivering finding for complaint #15-AS-20240325163517, LPA observed R1 asking S2 if R1 is able to eat. S2 told R1 that R1 can go ahead and eat lunch. LPA asked S2 if R1 is diabetic. S2 states R1 is diabetic. When asked if R1 is on insulin, how often R1 needs to check blood sugar and whether R1 is able to check own blood sugar. S2 states R1 is on oral medication and needs blood sugar checked twice a day. S2 states R1 is unable to check own blood sugar. And staff checks R1's blood sugar. The facility does not have an approved exception. Deficiency is cited per Title 22 California Code of Regulations (refer to Lic 809D). Exit interview was conducted with Penas and Appeal Rights was provided.

Based on interview conducted with S2, S2 confirmed with LPA that W1 has been staying in one of the caregiver rooms since December 2023. S2 states W1’s husband comes every day to pick up W1 and would bring back W1 at the end of the day. S2 added that if W1 would use the bathroom, S2 states W1 does not need a lot of assistance but S2 would make sure that W1 is safe due to W1’s knee surgery. S2 added that there were times that S2 would assist W1 while using the bathroom. A review of Guardian shows W1 associated to the facility on 12/12/2023 as an employee. However, the facility’s Lic 500 does not indicate that W1 is one of the employees at the facility. Despite the Administrator’s denial that W1 is a resident, the facility’s license allows the facility to admit/retain six (6) residents only. And the fact that W1 pays $1,000/month, is not listed in Lic 500 as an employee and that S2 does provide assistance to W1 on as needed basis are sufficient evidence to substantiate the allegation “Over capacity.” Based on interviews and record review conducted, the above allegation is substantiated. Based on LPA observations and 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 is cited on the attached LIC 9099D. Civil penalty in the amount of $500.00 is assessed for today's visit. Exit interview was conducted and Appeal Rights was provided to Penas.
