Complaint Investigation Report

The investigation reveled of the following: "Facility abandoned resident at the facility." LPA interviewed administrator and reported that the facility/corporate office is not planning to take C1 back to the facility because C1 was having severely verbally aggressive behaviors and threatening behavior to staff. C1 had been cursing and threatening the staff daily and stated that he's going to hurt and kill the staff. All staff do not feel safe while C1 was in the facility. In addition, staff also found a bag of marijuana in C1's room. C1 was repeated using a white powder drug while inside the facility. Administrator and Staff reported they never got a call from the hospital regarding accept C1 back to the facility or not. The administrator also stated that the facility did file the 3 days eviction notice for C1 on May 3, 2022 and Community Care Licensing (CCL) has never approved the 3 days eviction notice which does not meet the eviction protocol. While LPA reviewed C1's file, LPA did not see the 30 days eviction notice for C1. The administrator also admitted that the facility never filed the 30 days eviction notice for C1. The facility only reported to C1's service coordinator that C1 needs a higher level of care.

Based on LPA’s interviews and records review, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met; therefore, the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, (Title 22, Division 6 and Chapter 1), are being cited on the attached LIC 9099D.
