On December 4, 2024, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Michael Hood, Angela Hood, and Cassie Mikkelson met with Administrator Parveen Saroay of Fair Oaks Estates Inc, for a case management visit to follow up regarding a substantiated allegation that a resident sexually assaulted other residents in care. On May 4, 2023, the Department concluded a complaint investigation alleging that a resident (R1) sexually assaulted other residents in care. The allegation was substantiated and the licensee was cited for violating California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 22, § 87464 Basic Services (f) Basic services shall at a minimum include: (1) Care and supervision as defined in Section 87101(c)(3) and Health and Safety Code section 1569.2(c), and California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 22, § 87468.1 Personal Rights of Residents in All Facilities (a) Residents in all residential care facilities for the elderly shall have all of the following personal rights: (1) To be accorded dignity in their personal relationships with staff, residents, and other persons. On May 4, 2023, the issuance of an immediate civil penalty for $500 was issued and Licensee was informed that a civil penalty per Health and Safety Code Section §1569.49(f) is under review and a determination is pending. The Department has concluded an analysis and has determined that a civil penalty is warranted for physical abuse. Per Welfare and Institutions Code Section 15610.63(e), “’Physical abuse’ means any of the following: (e) Sexual assault, that means any of the following (1) Sexual battery, as defined in Section 243.4 of the Penal Code.” This is evidenced by the facility management being aware of R1’s sexually abusive behaviors towards others and not properly supervising R1, resulting in R1 sexually assaulting four (4) residents. ** Report continued on 809-C ** An interview with a staff member (S1) indicated that the licensee and administrator were informed of a residents (R1) history of sexually inappropriate behavior before R1's admission to the facility. An interview with R1's responsible party confirmed that this extensive history was disclosed to the administrator prior to placement. Despite awareness of R1’s behaviors, R1 was admitted to the facility without documentation of these behaviors in R1’s Admission Agreement or care plan. Department interviews with staff confirmed that, on November 12, 2022, R1 engaged in sexually inappropriate contact by touching two residents (R2 and R3), on their bare chests. Following this incident, facility staff and the licensee were notified of R1’s need for one-on-one supervision to ensure the safety of other residents. After R1 was taken to the hospital and returned to the facility, an increased level of supervision was added to R1’s care plan. However, R1 continued to move around the facility unsupervised, ultimately resulting in additional incidents where R1 inappropriately touched two more residents (R4 and R5), on December 12, 2022. Today, December 4, 2024, the Department will be issuing a civil penalty per Health and Safety code § 1569.49 in the amount of $10,000 for a violation that the department determines was caused by the absence of one-on-one supervision as required by statute or regulation, resulting in multiple residents being sexually assaulted. However, since an immediate civil penalty of $500 was issued on May 4, 2023, the amount today will be $9,500. A copy of the LIC 421D was given to Administrator and originals were signed. Exit interview conducted. Appeal Rights provided. A copy of the report issued.

However, no further attempts were made by the facility to contact Home Health. Also, the facility did not seek medical attention for R1’s decrease in urine output or the leaking catheter. On 8/17/23, staff reported R1 continued to have a decrease in urine output and appeared pale and ill. Despite R1’s symptoms, R1 was transported to day program and the facility did not communicate the reported information to Home Health, R1’s day program, or R1’s responsible party. Upon arrival to day program, the program staff immediately observed R1 was ill and had no urine output in their catheter. Day program staff notified R1’s responsible party. Subsequently, R1 was sent to the hospital and diagnosed with severe sepsis secondary to pseudomonas bacteremia, an acute kidney injury, and a tear at the urethral meatus. The facility’s Catheter Care Policy states that staff will “monitor skin area where catheter is inserted for any redness or swollen discharge, if any of those indication appear you must notify Med Tech immediately.” Home Health records and interview with Home Health nurse indicated that staff were trained to wash the catheter, including the bag, tubing, and penis daily, checking for signs of infection such as discharge or leaking urine. However, multiple staff interviews indicated that staff were not trained to check or wash the area where R1’s catheter was inserted in the penis. Multiple staff indicated that they did not conduct regular checks on R1’s catheter insertion site and did not observe a tear in R1’s urethral meatus. Based on interviews conducted and records reviewed, the preponderance of evidence standards have been met. Therefore, the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. Per California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8, a deficiency is being cited on the attached 9099-D page. As a result of the resident’s serious bodily injury, an immediate civil penalty per Health and Safety Code § 1548 in the amount of $500 for the date of 2/12/24 is assessed for a violation that the Department determines resulted in the injury or illness of a person in care. An additional civil penalty assessment is under review and a determination is pending. LPA will return on a future date to assess an additional civil penalty if warranted. Exit interview conducted.

Allegation investigated: Residents smoke illegal drugs inside of the facility Staff serve residents contaminated foods Neglect and lack of care and supervision resulting in resident sexually assaulting other residents and staff.

On 2/7/24, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kevin Mknelly conducted an unannounced complaint investigation visit to deliver the findings for the above allegations and met with Administrator. The department conducted records review and extensive interviews. The department is unable to find and or meet the preponderance, per policy. The department interviewed several staff members, all staff denied witnessing a resident (R1) smoke illegal drugs while on facility property. Staff have witnessed R1 smoke in designated smoking areas. Staff denied witnessing any sort of behaviors from R1, in which a person under the influence of illegal drugs would demonstrate. The department interviewed R1. R1 denied smoking illegal drugs on facility property. R1 stated that they only smoke in designated smoking areas of the facility. The department interviewed several residents, all residents interviewed denied witnessing R1 smoke any illegal drugs. Unsubstantiated While the department had previously investigated, from 6/9/23- 8/10/23, and issued citations for food storage and kitchen cleanliness on 8/10/23, there was not additional information found that the deficiencies resulted in contaminated foods being served to or consumed by residents. The department interviewed several staff members regarding R2 and the allegation of their sexually assaulting others. This allegation was previously investigated 6/1/23- 8/1/23. That investigation resulted in a citation for residents’ personal rights having been violated by R2. Subsequent from the previous investigation until the conclusion of this investigation, a new care plan has been implemented to have R1 have reduced physical proximity access to other residents resulting in R2 no longer being able to reach out and grab people, the inappropriate behaviors have completely stopped. Thus, although the incidents did occur in the past, the department could not find an incident between 8/1/23 and 1/16/24 in which the staff was neglectful or failing to supervise R2 which resulted in R2 touching another resident. Therefore, the allegation is Unsubstantiated. As a result of this investigation, LPA finds allegation to be (US)Unsubstantiated - A finding that the complaint is Unsubstantiated means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred.
