Mistreating senior citizens living in nursing homes is an unacceptable, reprehensible, and disgraceful action done by the hands of caregivers, visitors, and other patients. Many families relocate their loved one into the nursing home believing that they will receive the highest level of care in a safe environment.

Fined $9,584 for substandard care
The investigators for the state and federal nursing home regulatory agencies have the legal responsibility of penalizing any facility that has violated rules and regulations that harmed or could have harmed a resident. These penalties often include monetary fines and denying payment of Medicare services.
Within the last three years, federal investigators imposed a monetary fine against San Marino Manor Nursing Facility for $9,584 on August 05, 2017, citing substandard care. During this time, Medicare denied payment on two occasions including on February 02, 2018, and August 05, 2017, due to a lack of quality care.
The nursing home received one complaint over the last thirty-six months that resulted in a violation citation. Additional information concerning the facility can be reviewed on the comprehensive California Department of Social Services Adult Protective Services Website.

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 two out of five stars for quality measures.
The state investigators determined the nursing home "failed to follow their policies and procedures to do a thorough background screening for potential employees [before] hire for abuse, neglect, or mistreatment as part of its abuse prevention program.” The deficient practice involved five employee files. “This failure had the potential to expose residents to employees who might have a history of abuse, neglect, or mistreatment.”
The “facility failed to ensure [two residents] were free from accident hazards by failing to update their Fall Assessment after a fall.” The nursing home also “failed to start an SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation) after a fall, update the Care Plan after a fall, secure two television sets, and place padded mats per Physician’s orders.”
For one resident, “there was no revision of the Care Plan, no update of the Fall Risk Assessment and no SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation) plus done. This deficient practice put the residents at risk for another fall.”
For another resident, a fall occurred on July 23, 2017 “and the falls assessment was not revised.” The investigators also found two unsecured television sets in Room 23.
On July 22, 2017, a resident’s Nursing Notes indicated that the resident “was found on the floor in Room 10. There were no injuries. The resident was unable to state what had happened.” The investigators interviewed the Director of Nursing, who stated “she was unable to find the revised Care Plan, a reassessment on the fall risk form, and a SBAR regarding the fall and July 22, 2017.”
The Director stated “a Care Plan and SBAR should have been started after the fall to help do a thorough assessment, find the cause of the fall, prevent another fall, find out if there was any injury, and to have interventions in place to prevent another fall.”
