Comments:

Two LIs, supervised by an LA, conducted an unannounced complaint inspection in response to a complaint that was received by the licensing office on 12/16/2019. The LIs reviewed documentation, toured the facility, and conducted interviews relating to allegations that a resident was not receiving her prescribed medication and medical treatment. The information gathered during the investigation does not support the allegation, so the complaint is determined to be ?not valid.? There are no violations resulting from this complaint. Other violations did result from this complaint investigation. Please complete the ?plan of correction? and ?date to be corrected? for each violation cited on the violation notice and return it to your licensing inspector within 10 calendar days from today. You will need to specify how the deficient practice will be or has been corrected. Just writing the word ?corrected? is not acceptable. Your plan of correction must contain: 1) steps to correct the noncompliance with the standard(s), 2) measures to prevent the noncompliance from occurring again; and 3) person(s) responsible for implementing each step and/or monitoring any preventive measure(s). If you have any questions, contact your licensing inspector at (540) 309-5982.
