California regulators have cited the facility where a 75-year-old woman lived before she was found dead in the stairwell of Zuckerberg San Francisco Hospital's locked power plant building, according to an article on the Becker's Clinical Leadership & Infection Control website.
The woman, who suffered from dementia, was a resident of the nearby Behavioral Health Center's Residential Care Facility for the Elderly on the Zuckerberg campus.
The California Department of Social Services cited the facility for failing to provide "appropriate care and supervision."
The investigation found that the facility failed to report the woman's deteriorating cognitive abilities and left the building without proper oversight.
