During an interview, an outside source (OS) stated that a bruise had been observed on R1's lower back several months prior. The specific date the bruise was observed was not provided during the investigation. OS also reported observing a raised lesion on R1's lower back and stated that the concern had been reported to facility staff.

During interviews, staff stated that an outside source had recently reported a raised area on R1's back and requested that R1 be evaluated by a physician. Staff stated that R1's Power of Attorney (POA) had requested that R1 not be released to the outside source and that R1's physician had recently been changed.

Staff stated that R1 was assessed by direct care staff and the facility's Registered Nurse (RN). Staff reported that the raised area described by the outside source was determined to be a raised mole.

During the facility visit, R1 was observed without visible signs of injury to the back or other visible areas of the body. During an interview, R1 stated that R1 was fine and denied experiencing pain. R1 also stated that R1 did not recall falling or injuring the back.

Staff reported that R1 sustained a fall on August 26, 2026. The incident was reported to CCL in accordance with Title 22 requirements. Staff stated that R1 sustained a slight bruise to the back as a result of the fall and did not sustain a major injury. R1's Service Plan was updated following the incident to address R1's identified care and supervision needs. Staff reported that R1 uses a wheelchair for mobility and also uses a walker.

The investigation did not yield corroborating evidence to establish that R1's reported bruise was the result of staff neglect or lack of supervision. Therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated.

Allegation: Facility was in disrepair.
It was reported that the facility was in disrepair. Specifically, it was alleged that a leak had been observed in a hallway, with a bucket placed underneath the leak to collect water dripping from the air-conditioning (AC) vents. The outside source expressed concern regarding possible mold.

During the September 8, 2026 facility tour, no active leaks were observed. The facility was observed to be clean, organized, and free of offensive odors. Hallways were observed to be free of clutter.

During interviews, staff stated that the facility had experienced leaks associated with the Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system and that pumps had been replaced to address the issue. Staff reported that approximately 17 pumps had recently been replaced since the facility's new ownership. Staff also stated that ceiling tiles are replaced when water damage occurs.

Staff reported that the facility is more than 57 years old and that additional HVAC pumps may need to be replaced as needed.

The investigation did not yield corroborating evidence to establish that the facility was in disrepair at the time of the investigation. No active leaks or other conditions indicating that the facility was in disrepair were observed during the facility tour. Therefore, the allegation is unsubstantiated.

Based on the investigation, including facility observations, record review, and interviews, the evidence was insufficient to substantiate either allegation. Therefore, the allegations of neglect/lack of supervision resulting in R1 sustaining a bruise and facility being in disrepair are deemed unsubstantiated.

An exit interview was conducted with Executive Director Mike McCoy. A copy of this report and the Licensee Appeal Rights (LIC 9058 03/22) were provided to the Executive Director at the conclusion of the visit.
