It was further reported that R1 and R2 did not have access to a call system in their room and were unable to request staff assistance. Interview with R1 revealed that R2 required assistance from staff and that R1 frequently assisted R2 during the night. R1 acknowledged that it was disruptive but reported that they chose to assist R2 voluntarily and had no complaints. R1 stated they were able to use their call light but did not feel the need to because they were comfortable assisting R2. R1 reported that R2 had approximately two (2) incontinence accidents on the bedroom floor overnight and that R1 slipped once but did not fall. R1 stated that when they notified staff of R2’s accidents, staff responded immediately. R1 did not express any additional concerns and described staff as attentive to their needs. Per staff and record review, R2 was relocated by their family the week prior due to requiring a higher level of care and supervision. An interview with R2 was not conducted. Staff interviews indicated that R1 was mostly independent and often attempted to help other residents, including R2. Staff reported they frequently instructed R1 not to assist other residents and to notify staff instead. Staff stated that R2 had a history of aggressive behavior and was observed removing pull-ups, manipulating bowel movements, and intentionally urinating in their room and common areas. Staff indicated this behavior occurred more frequently when R2 was agitated and first moved into the facility. After staff became aware of the incidents – and following R1’s concern – staff implemented more frequent check-ins with R2. Report Continued on LIC 9099-C Staff also stated that R2’s physician prescribed medication that helped reduce R2’s agitation and behaviors. Staff reported that during early morning rounds, they occasionally found incontinence accidents in the bedroom and immediately cleaned R2 and the room. Staff stated these incidents were not frequent and that they regularly communicated such occurrences to the overnight staff. Staff also reported that incontinence care is completed frequently for all residents, and that although R2 was monitored more closely, accidents could occur quickly. During today’s visit, the LPA observed R1’s bedroom and found no concerns. The room was clean, sanitary, and did not pose any safety or personal rights risks to R1. The LPA observed a call light accessible from R1’s bed. The call system was tested and found operational. Based on interviews and observations, although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is insufficient evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are deemed UNSUBSTANTIATED at this time. No deficiency cited. Exit interview conducted. A copy of the report was reviewed and provided.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Aug 4, 2026 · control 29-AS-20260727112440

ED reported that R1 was not cleared to return to assisted living and was authorized/cleared for skilled nursing facility by the medical facility. Interview conducted with Case Manager from LA Downtown Medical Center and records reviewed confirmed that R1 was cleared to transfer to a skilled medical facility and therefore could not return to Savant of Woodland Hills.

Interviews conducted with staff and records reviewed revealed that R1 moved in on 12/30/2024; R1 was present at the facility for approximately one week and had two fall incidents with no injuries. Records reviewed revealed R1 had a fall incident on 1/1/2026 and 1/6/2026 with no injuries – on 1/7/2026 R1 was aggressive with staff; danger to others therefore was 5150d.

Staff interviewed stated that R1’s responsible person was provided with information on hand surrounding each incident and the ED kept in communication with R1’s responsible person following R1’s 5150 transfer. (Continue to LIC9099c) Based on the above information gathered, there is insufficient evidence to support the allegations or that a violation occurred; therefore, the allegation “Staff did not follow proper reporting requirements” is deemed unsubstantiated at this time. Regarding allegation of “Staff did not conduct a proper assessment of resident” – Information was received that staff “Sofia” conducted the assessment of R1 prior to admission and according to reporting party staff did not talk to the resident and completed the assessment by talking to the nursing staff at the skilled nursing home only.

Staff reported that from her observation and the records she reviewed R1 was compatible for assisted living. However, within one-week R1 started showing signs of aggression, was unable to toilet self and was non-compliant with staff and taking medications. According to staff R1’s condition changed rapidly because R1 was non-compliant with care and medications; physician and responsible person were updated with R1’s condition.

Allegation investigated: Staff did not document changes to resident's condition. Staff did not obtain consent prior to moving resident into the memory care unit.

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Zabel Chochian conducted a subsequent complaint visit to deliver investigation finding. Upon arrival LPA met with Sofiya Zaretsky, Wellness Director. The reason for the visit was explained. On 04/28/2025, Community Care Licensing Division received the above allegations. On 05/07/2025, LPA conducted the initial complaint visit and conducted a physical plant tour which included random resident rooms, and common areas. From approximately (approx.)11am -1pm LPA interviewed six (6) residents and two (2) staff. Between 1pm-2:45pm LPA reviewed resident records and facility daily communication logs. In addition, on 05/02/2025 at approximately 3:45pm LPA conducted interview with potential witness. Following is a summary of the allegations and investigation finding. Regarding allegations “Staff did not document changes to resident's condition and Staff did not obtain consent prior to moving resident into the memory care unit”: (Continue to LIC9099c) Unsubstantiated It was reported that Resident #1 (R1) was moved to the memory care without documenting changes to the resident’s condition or notifying the residents responsible person. It was also mentioned that this transition was done without any prior notice or consent from the family. Records reviewed confirmed R1 resided in the Assisted Living unit since 08/2020. Facility documentation showed that R1 began showing signs of cognitive decline, aggression and wandering behavior beginning in 01/2025 – 03/2025. Records reviewed revealed documentation of events leading up to R1’s move on 04/09/2025 to the memory care unit which is a secured unit with approved delayed egress exits. According to the ED and Health and Wellness Director it was unsafe for R1 to continue living in the AL due to R1’s increased confusion and exit seeking behavior. Staff interviews revealed that everything was communicated with R1, R1’s family and R1’s responsible person. Staff confirmed that R1 was able to speak english however was incoherent. Records reviewed and interviews conducted confirmed that R1’s family was aware of the move and R1’s responsible person signed the admission agreement (04/09/2025). Interview with R1’s responsible person revealed that they were aware of R1’s cognitive decline and the facility did communicate their observation of the change in R1’s condition. It was also confirmed that R1’s responsible person was aware of the necessary transfer and agreed to the transfer for R1’s safety. Based on the above information gathered, there is insufficient evidence to support the allegations or that a violation occurred; therefore, the allegations “Staff did not document changes to resident's condition and Staff did not obtain consent prior to moving resident into the memory care unit” are deemed unsubstantiated at this time.
