Facility Evaluation Report

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Dang Nguyen conducted an unannounced Case Management - Incident visit. LPA was welcomed by, identified himself to, and discussed the purpose of the visit with Executive Director Geovanni Aguilar and Resident Services Director Tatiana Soltero.

Today's visit was in response to two (2) LIC624 Incident Reports and two (2) SOC341 Reports of Suspected Dependent Adult/Elder Abuse, which licensee self-submitted to the CCLD San Diego Regional Office on 09/08/2023. The reports described alleged personal rights violations committed by Staff #1 (S1) against Resident #1 (R1) and Resident #2 (R2) on 09/05/2023, and which had since come to the licensee’s attention. [See LIC 811 Confidential Names List for a description of select person identifiers used in this report].

During today’s visit, LPA performed a facility tour and welfare check on R1 and R2, finding that both were safe. LPA also collected copies of pertinent care records and interviewed multiple relevant staff.

According to R1’s latest LIC602 Physician’s Report (dated 05/09/2023): R1 was diagnosed with “senile degeneration of the brain / dementia.” According to R2’s latest LIC602 Physician’s Report (dated 04/11/2023): R2 was diagnosed with “expressive language disorder” and “other unspecified disorders of the brain.” Manager and staff interviews unanimously showed that both R1 and R2 were cognitively-impaired as part of their baseline condition. LPA likewise observed that neither R1 nor R2 had the memory skills or verbal skills to be reliable interviewees.
