Licensee added that there have not been any long-term visitors and/or any other adults residing at the home/facility since. LPA toured the entire home, including the off-limits areas, and did not observe any adult male clothes. Licensee did inform LPA of an assistant (Diana Jones), she once had for about 6 to 7 months but stopped working at facility 3 months ago, due to low enrollment. In researching information on the assistant, it was determined that the assistant was associated to the facility beginning on 10/16/2021, however, did not have a Criminal Record Clearance to work at the facility.

Although it could not be determined if an uncleared adult was residing at the home, information was obtained that an adult was hired, and allowed work at the facility, without a Criminal Record Clearance. Therefore, based on the information obtained the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, and the above allegation is found to be Substantiated.

A Civil Penalty has been assessed during this inspection. Payment is due when billed and the check(s) or money orders shall be made payable to the “California Department of Social Services”. YOU WILL RECEIVE AN INVOICE IN THE MAIL. DO NOT SEND MONEY UNTIL YOU RECEIVE YOUR INVOICE. DO NOT SEND CASH.
