Complaint Investigation Report

The Reporting Party (RP) alleges that facility has failed to comply with title 22 regulations regarding the admission of residents receiving hospice care services.

LPA interview with the Administrator confirms their awareness and requirement to comply with Title 22 regulation regarding acceptance of terminally ill persons accepted by the facility as residents. LPA review of resident records revealed the following: Facility has four (4) residents receiving hospice care.

Records contain approved hospice waiver, required terminal diagnoses by a Physician, facility agreement to accept/retain terminally ill residents, and singed agreements of those residents sharing a room with co-residents receiving hospice care.

Based on interview, and record reviews, although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is insufficient evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur. Therefore, the allegation is deemed UNSUBSTANTIATED at this time.
