The inspector’s account

On 8/11/2022, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Lourdes Montoya conducted a case management - deficiency at the above facility.

While LPA Montoya was investigating an unrelated complaint on 8/11/22, LPA observed two staff (S1 and S2) brought Resident #1 by wheelchair to Bedroom # 4 (Residents #2 & #3's bedroom) and assisted Resident #1 to shower in the bathroom.

Prior to this visit on 7/26/2022, LPA Montoya noticed the bathroom inside bedroom #4 (Residents #2 and #3's bedroom) is huge. LPA asked S1 who uses that bathroom. Staff #1 stated Residents #2 and #3 as well as the other residents take shower in this bathroom. LPA Montoya advised S1 that "No bedroom of a resident shall be used as a passageway to another room, bath or toilet".

California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division (6) and Chapter (1) are being cited on the attached LIC 9099D.

Exit interview conducted and a hard copy of this report and appeal rights were provided to Administrator Maria Teresa Matias.
