During the initial interview, R1 reported feeling very safe and well-treated, but provided contradictory statements about "Henry" pulling their hair, first stating they did not know who Henry was and later claiming he was staff. When interviewed again on 07/14/2026, and asked if any staff had ever hurt them, R1 replied, "No, that's ridiculous." Based on the information gathered, there is no evidence to prove that a regulatory violation occurred at this time.

However, other staff indicated they are to call 9-1-1. Staff interviews revealed R1 did experience a fever one night and NOC staff were informed by the previous shift's medication technician that a hospice nurse would be arriving to tend to R1's needs. When R1's hospice care provider did not arrive, NOC staff were unaware of how to respond to R1's unmet medical need. Staff present at the facility were unable to administer prescribed as needed (PRN) fever reducing medication to R1, as no one present in the facility was trained on medication administration. Although staff interviewed indicated there are no residents that have regularly prescribed medications scheduled for administration during the NOC shift, PRN medications can be needed at any time, including the NOC shift.

Allegation investigated: Staff caused an injury to a resident Staff mishandled a resident's medication

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Esther Cortez conducted a subsequent complaint visit to deliver findings for the above allegations. Upon arrival, LPA met with Activity Director Hollyn Heron and explained the reason for the visit. Executive Director (ED) Roman Sierra Tobar was unable to be at the facility during today’s visit, was explained the reason for the visit via phone and authorized Holyn Heron to sign and receive the report. However, ED arrived as LPA was issuing findings. On 03/14/2024, between 11:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., the LPA toured the facility with staff, interviewed the Administrator, two (2) staff, and obtained copies of resident records and other pertinent documents relevant to the investigation.

On 08/08/2024, between 10:55 a.m. and 11:55 a.m., the LPA interviewed two (2) staff and obtained pertinent documents relevant to the investigation. On 08/14/2024, the LPA conducted one (1) staff telephone interview. Report will continue on LIC9099-C (2nd page). Substantiated On 10/04/2024, the LPA conducted a file review and one (1) staff and one (1) witness phone interview between 2:00 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. On 10/09/2024, the LPA conducted a file review, three (3) staff interviews, one (1) phone interview with Mission Hospice representative between 10:45 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. On the allegations "Staff admitted a resident with a prohibited health condition" and “Staff did not perform appropriate assessment for a resident”; it is the concern of the reporting party (RP) that Resident #1 (R1) was admitted to the facility on 02/19/24 and then asked to leave the facility the following day on 02/20/24 due to wounds that might violate licensing requirements. RP further reported that the wound in question was located on the residents’ leg, and they were Venous stasis and not a pressure wound, however the Administrator at the time believed they were a stage 3 pressure wound. Lastly, the RP reported that the facilities Administrator and additional staff had performed a pre-placement assessment on R1 prior to admitting them and should have caught the prohibited health condition if it was a stage 3 pressure wound. To investigate the allegation the LPA conducted a file review and interviews. A review of R1’s head-to-toe assessment form for any physical change, dated 2/14/2024, and completed by facilities Administrator and Retirement Counselor indicated that R1 had sign of redness or sore around the ankle area, however it did not indicate if it was a pressure injury. Additional assessment forms signed by previous Administrator Gary Lee indicated that they did not have any concerns regarding R1’s care plan. A review of R1’s physician’s report, dated 02/13/2024, indicated R1’s primary diagnoses was listed as cellulitis of left upper limb, and secondary diagnosis was listed as chronic kidney disease, stage 3A. The report indicated R1 had mild cognitive impairment, was able to follow instructions as well as communicate needs, and had history of skin condition or breakdown. R1’s physician report did not indicate any pressure injuries. A review of R1’s, Shoreline Care Center, skilled nursing facility records, dated 02/19/2024, obtained from Glen Park at Ojai indicated some of R1’s diagnoses were listed as cellulitis of left upper limb, venous insufficiency (chronic), non-pressure chronic ulcer of unspecified part of right lower leg with unspecified severity, among other diagnosis, however pressure wounds of any stage were not listed as a diagnosis. Interviews with Administrator Gary Lee revealed that on 02/14/24 they and the Retirement Counselor had performed a pre-placement assessment on R1, prior to admitting them to the facility. Administrator Gary Lee revealed they looked for injuries, they did a head-to-toe, and looked to see if R1 had any open skin. Report will continue on LIC9099-C (3rd page). Administrator saw a band-aid on R1’s left arm, and bandages on both legs; the Administrator removed the band-aid on the arm and asked for the bandages on the legs to be removed and revealed that they saw pinkness on R1’s arm and pinkness and scabs with cream on the legs and asked for the cream to be removed. Administrator Gary Lee further revealed that they were informed by the skilled nursing facility staff that the right injury on R1’s leg came from a fall R1 had, and the injury on the left leg looked the same but he was told that it looked reoccurring. The administrator observed a scab on the left leg injury that was solid black that raised above the skin, and although he didn’t measure, he believed it was about 3cm. Furthermore, Administrator Gary revealed that they asked for R1’s physician’s report, R1’s left leg was not mentioned in the report, they thought R1’s skin integrity was healed as they saw a scab on it and thought R1 was appropriate to move into the facility. Lastly, Administrator Gary Lee revealed that after R1 was admitted to the facility, on 2/20/2024, a MedTech (MT) was cleaning R1’s dressings, and when they took the dressings off the left leg with the reoccurring wound, the scab fell off. The MT called him to look at the wound, when he saw it, he believed it was a stage 3 wound due to being an open sore that is past the skin and being able to see flesh; he then informed R1’s authorized person that R1 could not be at the facility due to having a stage 3 wound. Administrator Gary Lee is not a medical professional. Administrator Gary Lee went on to reveal that a home health nurse staged the wound as a stage 3, however, facility staff was not able to provide any records for that nurse’s home health visit. On the allegations “Staff admitted a resident with a prohibited health condition" and “Staff did not perform appropriate assessment for a resident”. The Department’s investigation revealed R1 had a history of numerous health conditions including non-pressure chronic ulcer of unspecified part of right lower leg, however, R1 did not have any open wounds during the assessment and did not have any prohibited health conditions upon admission to the facility. Any open wounds R1 obtained were after they were admitted to the facility. Administrator Gary Lee performed an assessment for R1 and based on his observations and records that were provided to him at the time of the assessment, he believed R1 was a good fit for the facility. The information and evidence obtained during the investigation did not sufficiently support the allegations, therefore, the allegations are deemed Unsubstantiated at this time. Exit interview conducted. Today's report was reviewed and provided to the Executive Director. On 10/04/2024, the LPA conducted a file review and one (1) staff and one (1) witness phone interview between 2:00 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. On 10/09/2024, the LPA conducted a file review, three (3) staff interviews, one (1) phone interview with Mission Hospice representative between 10:45 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. On the allegation "Staff caused an injury to a resident"; it is the concern of the reporting party that on 02/20/2024, Resident #1 (R1) acquired a new gash to their lower left leg, and facility staff said R1’s leg was caught on wheelchair during transfer, and R1 said a caregiver’s thumb went through their skin and tore a gash in lower left calf. To investigate the allegation the LPA conducted file review and interviews. A review of R1’s physician’s report, dated 02/13/2024, indicated R1’s primary diagnoses was listed as cellulitis of left upper limb, and secondary diagnosis was listed as chronic kidney disease, stage 3A. The report indicated R1 had mild cognitive impairment, had motor impairment/ paralysis (weakness), was able to follow instructions as well as communicate needs, and was identified as non-ambulatory. A review of R1’s appraisal/needs and services plan, dated 02/19/2024, indicated R1 was a fall risk, needed help with mobility, bathing, dressing, and toileting, had MCI, was talkative and social, and was not aggressive and not a wanderer. Staff interviews revealed that R1 sustained an accident at the facility during a transfer. Interview with previous Administrator Gary Lee, revealed that Staff #1 and #2 (S1, S2) forgot to remove the wheelchair footrest when transferring R1 from a recliner to their wheelchair. R1 was very frail, both staff were at both sides of the resident, but when they were lifting R1 up, R1’s left leg got caught with a screw on the leg of the footrest and it caused a gash right above R1’s existing wound. LPA Cortez was not able to interview R1 or S1. Interview with S2 revealed that they witnessed R1’s accident, however they did not see exactly how everything happened. S2 revealed R1 was trying to get up from a recliner in the living room, S1 had R1 in their hand trying to transfer R1 to a wheelchair, at one point S2 asked S1 “What are you doing?” because two people should have been assisting R1, and the wheel chairs legs were up and S1 did not realize that the wheel chair legs was what cut R1. S2 stopped what they were doing and went over to check on them and notice blood and had to bandage R1’s new cut. S2 revealed R1’s injury could have been prevented by removing the legs from the wheelchair and by having two staff assisting R1. Report will continue on LIC9099-C (3rd page). Interview with Administrator Gary revealed that R1 was a one person assist, however interview with the Assistant Administrator revealed that R1 was a fall risk, and typically fall risk residents are a two person assist. Furthermore, four (4) staff revealed that R1 was a two-person assist, and one staff revealed that although they were not present during R1’s accident they were informed that staff attempted to transfer R1 without assistance and that led to R1’s fall, while other staff revealed they heard staff had dropped R1. On the allegation “Staff caused an injury to a resident,” the Department’s investigation provided sufficient evidence to substantiate the allegation. Based on staff interviews, it has been determined S1 failed to remove the wheelchair’s leg and failed to obtain a second person to assist when transferring R1 from a recliner chair to their wheelchair resulting in R1 sustaining a gash (skin tear) to their left leg, therefore, the allegation is deemed Substantiated at this time. On the allegation "Staff mishandled a resident's medication"; it is the concern of the reporting party that Resident’s #1 (R1) was not receiving all their medications due to R1’s Rx hemorrhoid cream for their chronic rectal prolapse not being with R1’s medication when they were collected. It was further reported that the medication had to be further searched for by a MedTech to be returned to R1’s responsible person and that the medication was not listed with R1’s inventory of medications. To investigate the allegation the LPA conducted file review and interviews. A review of R1’s, Shoreline Care Center, skilled nursing facility Order Review Report, dated 02/19/2024, obtained from Glen Park at Ojai indicated R1 was prescribed Anusol-HC External Cream 2.5% (Hydrocortisone), with an order date and start date of 02/16/2024. Per the order summary, “apply to rectum topically one time only for hemorrhoids for 1 Day start once available and apply to rectum topically every day shift for hemorrhoid.” A review of the facilities Medication Transfer sheet/Release of Responsibility form, dated 02/19/2024, revealed that R1’s Anusol-HC External Cream 2.5% (Hydrocortisone) was not listed in the inventory list of medications obtained from R1’s family. However, review of the facilities Medication Transfer sheet/Release of Responsibility form, dated 02/22/2024, revealed that two tubes of hydrocortisone were released back to R1’s responsible party by Staff #3 (S3).
