“Not on file” is not a no — approvals can be bed- or room-specific, so confirm current scope with the home on a tour. Where a number is shown it is the state’s own wording for how many residents the approval covers, not how many places are open today; where none is shown, the record simply does not state one.

Allegation investigated: Staff did not seek medical attention for resident in care in a timely manner

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Joseph Alejandre made an unannounced visit to deliver the findings of the complaint investigation into the allegation listed above. LPA met with staff Fnu Lawrence and explained the reason for the visit. The investigation into the allegation, staff did not seek medical attention for resident in care in a timely manner, revealed the following. It was alleged that Resident 1 (R1) had a pressure injury, and no action was taken by the facility to have R1 treated by a wound care specialist. R1 moved into the facility on September 17, 2024. R1 had a stage 2 pressure injury at the time of move in. Witnesses interviewed verified this information. A review of R1’s records show R1 received wound care on September 17, 2024, November 27, 2024, and January 20, 2025. Witnesses interviewed could not verify if R1 received would care on any other days. R1 could not verify the days they received wound care.

These are the home's own counts, straight from that record — shown beside the statewide median for small board-and-care homes (6 or fewer beds), computed across all 5,773 licensed homes of that size, because larger and longer-licensed homes naturally accumulate more visits and reports. They are facts, not a grade — a citation may be minor and since corrected, and an “unsubstantiated” complaint is not a finding of wrongdoing.
