The Department subpoenaed R1’s medical records for review. According to medical records, R1 was transferred to local Emergency Department (ED) by ambulance on 10/09/2023. It was discovered that R1 had sustained two open wounds on the bottom of the right foot that measured two centimeters by three centimeters each. The wounds were malodorous and expressed salmon colored purulence when touched. On 10/10/2023, hospital staff admitted R1 to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) due to the following: septic shock, altered mental status, acute respiratory failure with hypoxia, elevated troponin, acute kidney injury, and cellulitis of right leg. On 10/11/2023, R1 was seen and evaluated by hospital medical professionals. Medical records indicated medical staff determined R1 required a right Trans-metatarsal amputation (TMA) to prevent spread of infection and systemic illness. On 10/13/2023, due to septic shock, R1 underwent a right lower extremity angioplasty and a right TMA. The Department requested for the facility to submit R1’s physician’s report, pre-placement appraisal, assessments, and plan of care for review. According to R1’s physician’s report dated 11/20/2022, R1’s primary diagnosis is Dementia without behavioral disturbance. The secondary diagnosis is right foot ulcer with wound care being ordered twice weekly. Preplacement appraisal notes R1 has a stint in the right leg and is non-ambulatory. R1’s initial assessment was conducted by the facility on 01/26/2023. According to the assessment conducted, nail care is to be provided by a Podiatrist every month as needed. Instructions included for staff to monitor for signs and symptoms (i.e., reddened areas on the toes, dark areas on toes, non-healing open areas, resident reports discomfort), any observations will be reported to the nurse. R1 is a stand-by assist during bathing, assist in/out of bath/shower, assist with washing back and assist with drying weekly. According to interview with R1’s Podiatrist (W1), R1 was seen on three (3) separate occasions while residing at the facility. On 3/18/2023, W1 indicated R1 had red, swollen feet, and complained of pain in toes. W1 prescribed a change of shoe for R1 at that time. On 6/8/2023, R1 was seen again by W1, during this appointment R1’s foot was doing better. At the time of the appointment, it was noted there were no signs of redness, swelling, open wounds, and no complaint of pain. On 8/28/2023, W1 had final visit with R1 and noted there was no sign of any redness, swelling, open wounds, and there was no complaint of pain. W1 indicated that during R1’s appointment on 8/28/2023, R1’s foot was in good condition. During the interview with W1, it was mentioned R1’s 10/09/2023 hospital visit W1 expressed surprise as they stated the facility never contacted them regarding R1’s feet deterioration. W1 further stated, “For an infection to get that bad there would be a lot of early warning signs such as pain, swelling, and discoloration. An infection would take time to become that severe and it should have been noticed by staff well before reaching that level”. The Department conducted interviews and received statements from a total of seven (7) facility staff and five (5) residents in care. Interview statement received from staff (S1) indicated, R1 was admitted into the facility in February 2023. S1 stated, R1 had a “stand-by” assist for showers. During a stand-by assist, caregivers are supposed to help undress the resident, help the resident enter the shower, and help them dry off. During this time the staff are supposed to be looking for any concerns or issues while they are assisting the residents. Interview statement received from S2 indicated, S2 worked at the facility from July 2023 to November 2023. S2 stated staff (S3) was the staff who worked with R1 and was responsible for bathing needs. S2 observed there were very few observation notes in R1’s ECP (computer program log). When S2 asked S3 about the lack of notes, S3 told S2 that R1 refused to be bathed every single time. The refusals were never logged in ECP which S3 never told anyone about R1 refusing care or never mentioned R1 having any other signs or symptoms of any kind. S2 stated did not have any knowledge of R1’s foot condition until after R1 was sent to the hospital. S2 was unfamiliar with R1’s medical history. S2 stated information regarding R1’s pre-existing foot issue was not available when S2 took over. Interview statement received from former staff (S3) indicated, S3 worked at the facility from March 2023 through November 2023 as a caregiver and Med Tech. S3 stated information was passed down via word of mouth at shift change and via computer system used to enter notes (ECP). S3 notified management about the issues with ECP but the system was never fixed. S3 worked with R1 frequently and assisted R1 with showers. S3 stated R1 would often refused showers. S3 stated never saw any redness, swelling, or open wounds on R1’s body. S3 stated had knowledge of R1’s foot condition when S3 began working at the facility in March 2023. During S3’s interview, they admitted to not checking the condition of R1’s feet. Based on interview statements and records review, staff did not observe and monitor R1 for signs and symptoms (i.e., reddened areas on the toes, dark areas on toes, non-healing open areas, resident reports discomfort) which resulted in R1 being admitted to the hospital for septic shock where R1 sustained a right lower extremity angioplasty and right Trans-metatarsal amputation. The Department finds the allegation to be SUBSTANTIATED. A finding that the allegation is Substantiated means that the allegation is valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met. California Code of Regulations, Title 22, is cited on the attached LIC 9099-D. The facility is being advised that under H&S Code §1568 the issuance of a Civil Penalty is currently under review and may be assessed later, due to a resident sustaining serious bodily injury while in care of the facility.

The POA began requesting R1’s facility records on August 20, 2023. The POA sent a follow-up email on September 1, 2023, again requesting R1’s records. The facility emailed the POA some of R1’s file to the POA on September 5, 2023. The POA Substantiated followed-up on September 19, 2023 requesting R1’s full file including MARs, incident reports, etc. The POA received an email from the Director of Nursing on September 27, 2023, stating that they were working on compiling the file. According to the previous Administrator Jessica Sanders, all records requests are processed through the corporate office. The previous Administrator acknowledged that another resident’s information was accidentally provided to the POA of R1. Additionally, according to the timeline of emails and the interview with the previous Administrator, the facility provided R1’s requested facility records approximately 4 weeks after the initial request. Furthermore, once the requested documents were provided, there were documents for 5 other residents documents (R2-6) provided to the POA. Allegation: Staff did not properly dispose of trash The previous Administrator Jessica Sanders stated that R1’s POA was upset that once there was an instance of used incontinence products left in R1’s bathroom. Staff interviewed stated that R1’s room was normally kept tidy and clean. Interviews stated that the facility has dedicated housekeeping which deep cleans each room once per week. Care staff are responsible for cleaning accidents which may occur during the week. LPA also interviewed R1’s hospice nurse who stated that they would visit the facility twice per week. Per this hospice nurse, there were often where used incontinence products were discarded in the room or bathroom, rather than being taken to the trash. LPA was provided photos which show used incontinence products in R1’s room, outside of the trash can on several occasions. Allegation: Staff are not following medication orders. According to the reporting party, R1 was prescribed Lorazepam 1 mg every four hours as needed. The reporting party was told by a med tech that they were giving R1 this medication every four hours routinely. LPA reviewed R1’s scheduled and routine medications. According to the controlled substance count sheet, R1 began taking this medication in October of 2022 as PRN. LPA reviewed PRN MARs from May – September 2023. LPA also reviewed the facility’s controlled substance count sheet for this medication. According to the controlled substance count sheet, this medication was given as needed until 8/24/2023. On 8/24/2023 until 8/28/2023, R1 was given this medication at 7am each morning. According to R1’s hospice nurse, they spoke with staff and instructed them to give this medication as needed, and not routinely. LPA also identified that the MAR and controlled substance count sheet did not match. Staff were not correctly signing the MAR as this medication was given. Allegation: Staff are not meeting residents' needs According to the interview with R1’s POA, R1’s incontinence needs were not met. The POA provided documentation which showed that several times they found R1’s bed soaked with linen. Additionally, interviews with staff stated they did the best they could, but R1’s incontinence needs were not always met timely. Additionally, staff interviews acknowledged that R1 would often have dirty clothes as they would spill food on themselves during mealtimes. Allegation: Staff did not notify resident’s authorized representatives of incidents During R1’s stay at the facility, they had had approximately six witnessed falls and 12 unwitnessed falls documented in observation notes.

Allegation investigated: Staffing shortage Lack of supervision

LPA Parks arrived on Thursday December 14, 2023, to conclude a complaint investigation regarding the above allegations. LPA met with Interim Executive Director Jackie Hernandez and explained the purpose of the visit. Throughout the course of the investigation, LPA interviewed the previous Administrator, previous Wellness Director, Med techs, caregivers, and dietary staff. Additionally, LPA interviewed R1’s hospice nurse and Administrator of current facility. LPA reviewed R1’s facility file in addition staffing schedules and employee timecards. The result of the investigation is as follows: LPA reviewed documentation which showed R1 had a weight loss of 21.6 pounds from May 4, 2023 through August 1, 2023. According to staff interviews, R1 required assistance with eating. This assistance varied from helping R1 get started with their meal to assisting with the entire meal. Staff acknowledged that R1 had a good appetite and usually ate most of their food. LPA interviewed a family friend of R1 who visited towards the end of R1’s stay at this facility. This family friend reported that no one was assisting R1 with their meal. Substantiated As they began to assist R1, they drank 3 glasses of liquid and ate all of their food. This complaint does not have specific allegations about the food or service provided by the dietary department, rather that there were not sufficient staff to assist R1 with their meals resulting in weight loss. R1 later moved to a 6-bed facility. LPA interviewed R1’s hospice nurse who stated that R1 has had a documented weight gain since being at this new facility. LPA interviewed staff who acknowledged that there are typically 3 caregivers in the morning and evening shifts along with a med tech scheduled. NOC shift typically has 2 caregivers and one med tech scheduled. LPA reviewed the facility’s census for the months of July, August, and September 2023. LPA reviewed staffing schedules vs. timecards for July 27, 2023 where the complainant alleged that there was insufficient staffing. LPA found that there were 2 caregivers and one med tech for the morning shift. The census this date was 37 residents. Upon review of timecards, LPA found that there is a pattern of less than stated staffing during weekends. According to staff interviewed, management often found it difficult to find replacements when staff were unable to work their scheduled shift. Additionally, staff stated that management would rarely help staff with residents when they were short staffed. Based on the information detailed above, LPA finds the allegations to be substantiated. A finding that the allegation is Substantiated means that the allegation is valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met. LPA previously cited the facility for insufficient supervision and lack of staffing on 12/6/2023 for complaint control # 59-AS-20231003164146.

Allegation investigated: Staff not supervising residents Resident sustained multiple fractures due to staff neglect

LPA Parks arrived on December 6, 2023, to deliver findings to two allegations from a complaint received on October 3, 2023. LPA met with Interim Executive DIrector Jackie Hernandez and explained the purpose of the visit. Throughout the course of the investigation, current and previous staff were interviewed. LPA reviewed R1’s facility file including medication lists, incident reports, observation logs, MARs, care plans, and controlled substance count sheets. The result of the investigation is as follows: R1 sustained two falls on 8/27/2022 and 5/29/2023 that resulted in serious injuries. The 8/27/2022 fall was a witnessed fall and R1 sustained a fractured left fibula and was placed in a split. Per the observation notes, R1 was attempting to walk on their own and collapsed on the floor. The 5/29/2023 fall was an unwitnessed fall and R1 sustained a “nondisplaced hairline fracture of radial head.” Per R1’s observation notes and Incident Report, R1 was found outside in the pond by their spouse. Staff were unable to provide a time frame as to how long R1 was outside for and staff did not know how R1 got outside. Substantiated Per the South Placer Fire District Prehospital (SPFD) Care Report, it was noted that staff reported R1 may have fallen into the water about an hour prior to SPFD being dispatched to Granite Bay CountryHouse LLC. After reviewing observation notes, it was determined R1 had approximately six witnessed falls and 12 unwitnessed falls, between 4/10/2022 to 8/30/2023. With the number of falls R1 had, staff were asked what they were doing to prevent R1 from falling. Staff indicated they were just “keeping an eye” on R1. R1’s care plans dated 2/25/2022 and 10/5/2023 noted that R1 requires two safety checks during the nighttime. However, the care plans did not indicate any special checks throughout the day or indicate that R1 was considered a fall risk. Per the Hospice “IDT” notes dated 11/17/2022, R1 was noted to become more dependent on care and can no longer walk due to wheelchair bound restriction. Additionally, it was noted on 11/4/2022, that R1 was a fall risk due to their fractured left foot. Staff reported that there are no specific procedures if a resident is considered a fall risk. Based on the information detailed above, LPA finds the allegations to be substantiated. A finding that the allegations are Substantiated means that the allegations are valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met. An immediate civil penalty in the amount of $500.00 is to be assessed for a resident sustaining a serious bodily injury while in care at this facility. As a result of resident’s injury, the violation warrants a civil penalty assessment based on Health and Safety Code §1569.49. At this time, the civil penalty assessment is under review. LPA will return at a future date to assess a civil penalty, if warranted. Deficiencies cited on 9099-D. Appeal rights were printed and given. Exit interview conducted.
