RP determined this due to R1 having a video camera in their room which the RP was monitoring.

Staff walked out of the room and no staff came to check on R1 for nine hours, which left R1 struggling and trying to get out of the recliner. R1 called for help, and staff did not come and help R1. Witness interviews confirmed that R1 was placed in a recliner in their room, was unable to get out of the recliner for hours. During staff interviews it was learned that R1 had a call light pendant but never used it. Executive Director stated A staff member thought R1 could get out of the chair in their room on their own because this staff saw R1 getting out of the chair in the common area which has a different type of recliner. ED told staff that they are not to put the resident’s feet up because the chairs don’t have a lever to lower them. It was determined that R1 was left in the recliner in their room with their feet up, calling for help and unable to get out of the chair. This allegation is substantiated. Staff do not ensure the residents’ toileting needs are met. - SUBSTANTIATED It was reported that staff left Resident 1 (R1) in their room and did not check on R1 for nine hours, during which time R1 could not use the restroom. LPA reviewed LIC602 Physicians Report for R1 which states that R1 is independent with toileting. Needs and Services Plan states that R1 is standby assist for toileting due to fall risk. Witness interviews confirmed that R1 was placed in a recliner in their room, was unable to get out of the recliner for hours. During staff interviews it was learned that R1 is mostly independent with toileting but does require reminders and assistance to get to the bathroom. Executive Director stated R1 knew when they had to toilet, staff would remind R1 but R1 typically went to the toilet every 20 minutes and staff would walk with R1 because they were unsteady sometimes. A staff member thought R1 could get out of the chair in their room on their own because this staff saw R1 getting out of the chair in the common area which has a different type of recliner.

California Code of Regulations, (Title 22), is being cited on the attached LIC9099D. Appeal rights were provided. Exit interview conducted and a copy of the report was provided to Executive Director Irene Davis Resident sustained multiple bruises and injuries due to staff neglect. - UNSUBSTANTIATED It was reported that Resident 1 (R1) experienced multiple falls which resulted in injuries.

A separate photograph shows the lateral incisor to be diminished to a small stub which is usually consistent with cosmetic dentistry preparation for a crown or veneer. Photograph of R1 shows R1 smiling with bottom teeth present. Photograph of left foot with dry skin, fungus, dried blood on large left toenail. LPA did not receive any photographs of bruising to R1.

EMS was called and transported R1 to hospital where R1 was treated for a head injury. LPA reviewed LIC602 Physician’s Report dated 04/15/2026 which states under history of skin breakdown that R1 picks at their scabs. During staff interviews it was learned that R1 spent the majority of their time in the common area and was usually in line of sight for staff. All staff stated that R1 is a habitual “picker” which resulted in the loss of the cap that was on R1’s lateral incisor. Staff witnessed R1 remove that cap from their tooth while eating and handed it to staff. Executive Director stated R1 had a scraped knee as a result of a fall but an MRI and x-ray showed no injury. It was determined that R1 experienced three documented falls while living at the facility.
