32 | Staff interviews confirmed that they receive the Resident Council meeting notes and try to talk to residents about the concerns. Per staff interview, they response in writing usually the next day; however, they stated that they do not keep a copy of the written responses for their records. Staff stated they provided copy of the written responses to the president of the resident council. The provided copy of responses from May 15, 2026 and April 9, 2026. According to staff, they do not keep copy of their written responses they provide to the resident council president. Facility does not have other documentation to prove that written responses were provided to residents.
Records explains that since last year, the Resident Council has been submitting meeting minutes to the facility, but the facility has not provided any written response or met the 14 day deadline. Records also shows that many dining concerns listed by residents—such as burnt or cold food, last minute menu changes, inconsistent menus, lack of variety in fruits and vegetables, and not enough staff in the dining room—have continued for a long time without being fixed. Records further notes that the facility makes changes to the menu or meal options without clear communication to residents, which causes confusion.
Based on interviews and record reviews, the preponderance of evidence is met which shows that the facility is not responding to Resident Council concerns as required. Therefore, this allegation is substantiated.
Deficiencies were being cited per California Code of Regulations (CCRs) - Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8.
Plan of correction and appeal rights were discussed during exit interview with AD. A copy of this report and appeal rights were provided.
