Fined $16,490 for substandard care
The investigators and surveyors for Medicare and the state of California have the legal authority to impose monetary fines are denied payment for Medicare services any time a nursing home is cited for serious violations of regulations and rules.
Special Focus Facility (SSF) – This nursing facility “has a history of persistent poor quality of care as indicated by the findings of state and federal inspection teams.” The SFF designation “means that the facility is subjected to more frequent inspections, escalating penalties, and potential termination from Medicare and Medicaid.”
Within the last three years, investigators imposed two monetary penalties against La Mariposa Care and Rehabilitation Center, citing substandard care. These penalties include a $6,000 fine on June 15, 2018, and a $10,490 fine on September 18, 2017, for a total of $16,490. The nursing home received two complaints over the last three years that resulted in a violation citation.

According to Medicare, this facility maintains an overall rating of one out of five stars, including one out of five stars concerning health inspections, one out of five stars for staffing issues, and three out of five stars for quality measures.
The state investigators determined the nursing home “failed to adequately supervise [one resident] who fell five times in a sixty-day period from January 11, 2017, (the date of the first fall) through March 11, 2017.” The resident’s “second fall on February 6, 2017, resulted in an injury to [their] head. Following the fall with injury, [the resident] had three more unwitnessed falls.”
The investigators determined that “despite the increased rate of falls and the facility’s awareness of [the resident’s] decline in health and high risk of falls and potential injuries, the facility failed to adequately supervise [the resident].” The surveyors interviewed the complainant who stated that the resident “had been admitted to the facility for rehabilitation due to falls at home.” The resident “had fallen five to six times while in the facility [and the complainant said that the resident] had been admitted to the facility due to an increased need for supervision because of the history of falls.”
The complainant stated that “he had complained to the facility management about the lack of supervision at the facility, but nothing had changed.” The complainant said that “the management staff had informed him the facility was only getting reimbursed by the government to provide two to three hours of care, per resident, per day.”
The resident had suffered two falls, was hospitalized continuously, and “passed away.” While at the hospital, the resident had begged the complainant “not to let him return to the facility.” The complainant had stated, “he had not felt comfortable allowing [the resident] to return to the facility after the last fall due to the continued falls resulting from the lack of supervision.”
A review of a Nursing Note revealed that the staff had documented that the resident, before his death, “had a fall a month ago at home and needs frequent monitoring.”
