Most of my shifts I am the only caregiver.” LPA Chiarelli asked - Do you have any residents that need two staff to transfer them? S1 – Yes, we do. We only have a few but one of them we got a hoyer lift for, but it can be difficult to get them out of bed on my own or because we do not have enough staff we cannot lift them out of bed. We also have a resident that primarily uses a commode but if I do not have another caregiver to help me I just change their diaper, because I need a second caregiver to help me transfer them to the commode. Usually during my shift I can get my checks and diaper/depends changed completed. But for other shifts it can be difficult to get it all done. LPA Chiarelli – Do you have ever have a shortage of diapers/wipes and another incontinence items? S1 – Yes, we do. If we cannot find diapers or incontinence items, we do take them from other residents because we cannot leave residents wet or in a dirty diaper. LPA Chiarelli interviewed another staff member (S2) who worked a different shift and stated “Here is a brief from a resident that wasn't changed for three days after our AM shift ended, she had the brief on until 3/27-3/30. I think this was due to the shortage of staff. She isn't the only resident we found with the same brief on.” (Photo evidence was provided).

On 04/03/2026, Licensing program analyst (LPA) Marisa Chiarelli, arrived at the facility unannounced to deliver final findings regarding a complaint that was received on 03/09/2026. LPA Chiarelli met with administrator Michael Lang, and explained the purpose of the visit. During the interview process, three staff persons were interviewed and the following documents were received and reviewed: staff schedules, LIC 500, staff rosters and incident reports. Continued on 9099-C (Page 1) Substantiated Shifts for caregivers and Med techs are as follows: AM – 6am – 230pm PM – 2pm – 1030pm NOC – 10pm – 630pm During record review, it was revealed on the staff schedules provided by management at Sierra Oaks and staff that for house 2 at Sierra Oaks of Redding there were only these staff persons working, listed below: March 1st – for PM shift only one staff person, one staff person for NOC shift, and only one staff person for AM shift. March 8th – one staff person for AM shift, two staff person for PM shift, two person for NOC shift. March 15th – one staff person for PM shift, and one caregiver and med tech for NOC shift, no staff persons for AM shift were scheduled for that day. Later on, in the investigation LPA Chiarelli confirmed updated schedule that NOC shift stayed later than scheduled to help in the AM. March 22nd – one staff person for AM shift, one staff person for PM shift, and two staff persons for NOC shift. During LPA Chiarelli’s investigation three staff persons were interviewed. It was revealed and was confirmed by all staff interviewed that staff were being put on the schedule twice to show they were working in multiple houses. Staff persons who were listed twice on the schedule only worked one house not two like the schedule stated. This evidence showed that there was in fact not as many people working in multiple houses as per stated by original schedule given to LPA Chiarelli by administrator Lang when they visited the facility on 3/18/2026. Updated schedule was given to LPA Chiarelli by staff persons. Continued 9099-C (page 2) During an interview with staff one S1 stated they have been left alone with residents and were expected to work double shifts even though that was not agreed upon when they started in their position. Staff person two and three (S2 and S3) said they have also been left alone with residents and were expected to work doubles due to staffing shortage. S3 reported that they were assigned to one house and were moved to another house by management to help other staff but this meant leaving other staff alone with residents. S3 stated “When I am left alone, I cannot give residents showers because there is no one to help me do it. There are not enough staff to call for help to assist me in doing showers, so weekends showers are not done. We have two residents in house 2 that need two staff to do resident transfers and when I do not have staff to help me, I can only sit them up in bed I cannot transfer them or get them out of bed by myself. I also cannot give medications since I am not trained to give out medications.” S1 also stated: “I am not able to shower them if I am alone because that would mean I would be leaving other residents alone. I cannot do that.” Based on investigation observations, record review(s) and interviews which were conducted the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be Substantiated. California Code of Regulations, (Title 22), is cited on the attached LIC 9099D. Appeal rights were explained and provided to the facility representative listed above and exit interview conducted. If any of the cited deficiencies are not corrected by the noted due date, civil penalties may be assessed.
