lenge the uncollared lion, or

if he heads back to the other

side of the freeway,” said Jeff

Sikich, biologist for Santa

Monica Mountains National

Recreation Area.

The best-known example

of a tracked mountain lion

crossing the 405 is P-22. P-

has lived in Griffith Park for

more than seven years. But

DNA testing has indicated

that he was born in the

Santa Monica Mountains,

which means he had to jour-

ney across two freeways —

the 405 and the 101 — to get

there.

Although P-61 success-

fully crossed the 405, other

animals have not been as

lucky. In 2011, P-18 crossed in

the general vicinity and was

struck and killed by a vehi-

cle. Two years earlier, an un-

collared lion met the same

fate. At least six bobcats

were struck and killed by ve-

hicles in the Santa Monica

Mountains earlier this year.

The 2018 Woolsey fire may

have played a role in the

uptick in deaths as animals

roamed larger areas to find

food and water.

Freeways act as a barrier

for the local mountain lion

population. Of the 75 moun-

tain lions that have been

studied, researchers have

typically found that many

travel to the edge of freeways

without crossing.

P-61 was first captured

and outfitted with a collar in

October 2017. He is believed

to be about 4 years old.

Villa’s license after finding
that the facility in 2017 had
not addressed serious safety
issues stemming from a resi-
dent’s repeated assaults on
other residents, which re-
sulted in at least one hospi-
talization, state records
show.
The state agency also
found that staff did not ad-
equately clean feces from
the furniture.
A new license for the facil-
ity was issued in March
under the name California
Green Tree Villa Ast Lvg &
Memory Care.It is licensed
for 200 residents.
Administrator Jacque-
line Beltran said the facility
changed hands Aug. 1, and
added that she would relay
questions to the new owners,
who did not respond.
Kerner, in his letter, said
VA investigators found Cali-
fornia Villa facilities in “dis-
repair” and its medicine
room disorganized.
The false report of the
visit to a dead veteran
stemmed from a misidentifi-
cation by California Villa
staff, investigators said.
The veteran was living on
a locked ward for residents
with Alzheimer’s disease or
dementia, or who were oth-
erwise at risk of wandering.
When a case worker arrived
for a visit, California Villa
staff directed her to the
wrong resident, the investi-
gation found.
After the mix-up was dis-
covered, an addendum was
added to the veteran’s case
notes saying “Please delete,
wrong veteran.”
Investigators said the
confusion called into ques-
tion whether other residents
had received incorrect medi-
cation.
Werner praised the
whistleblowers for bringing
the problems to light and
said one of them hoped the
VA would investigate further
allegations of a bedbug in-
festation and other prob-
lems.
