The state investigators determined the nursing home "failed to ensure an allegation of physical abuse involving [two residents] was reported to the California Department of Public Health immediately, or no later than two hours after the allegation was made.” Additionally, “the facility failed to ensure a written report of the investigation was provided to the California Department of Public Health within five working days of the occurrence of the allegation of abuse.”
The state investigators determined that “these failures have the potential to result in the delay of implementation of appropriate action and provision of protection to the residents and placed the residents at risk for further abuse.”
The Report of Suspected Dependent Elder/Adult Abuse indicated that one resident “took off an ashtray lid and hit [the other resident (a victim)] in the hand and forearm causing bruising.” The state investigators made an unannounced visit to the facility to investigate the “facility-reported incident of a resident-to-resident altercation.”
The Director of Nursing told the investigators that one resident had hit the other resident “several times on the right forearm and right hand while they were at the Assisted Living smoking patio.” It was reported that one resident “was going to the trash can and [the other resident] approached the resident asking him what he was looking for.” The Director stated that the asking resident “removed the metal lid cover from the trash can and hit [the rummaging resident] with iton the right forearm and right hand.”
In a separate summary statement of deficiencies dated November 26, 2018, the nursing home “failed to ensure an allegation of abuse was reported to the State Agency California Department of Public Health immediately, but no later than two hours, for one resident.” This “failure had the potential to place the residents in the facility at risk for harm from abuse.”
The CNA had been assigned to provide care to a resident with diarrhea and had been in the room several times at night to clean her up. The resident asked to use a bedpan at approximately 4:45 AM. The CNA told the resident “she could not leave her when she was on a bedpan saying, ‘I may not be able to get back right away.’” The CNA forgot to tell anybody that she had left the resident “while she was using the bedpan.”
