25 | On 10/09/24 at 10:13 AM, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Mona Lam and Jonathan Medina conducted an unannounced visit to the licensed facility listed above. The purpose of the visit is to conduct a quarterly non-compliance conference (NCC). LPAs met with Levi Banks, Residential Supervisor. There are five clients on site at this time with three staff members at the beginning of the visit.
Levi informed LPAs that RayJay Peralta left Newport Academy on August 3, 2024. Community Care Licensing did not receive notification within 10 days of a certified administrator taking place after the departure of the former administrator. Based on the non-compliance conference plan, the facility agreed to ensure that the designated administrator at each site is consistent with the administrator on file. The administrator will be working at the facility a minimum of 20 hours a week. This poses an immediate risk to the health, safety, and or personal rights of clients in care. LPA Lam delivered a Type A citation for Title 22 California Code of Regulations 84064(b) Administrator Qualifications and Duties (Refer to LIC 809-D).
LPAs are informed that Kim Claspell-Ochoa is on the pending list for administrator certification since September 4, 2024. In addition, Kim is the potential administrator for Newport Happy Valley.
LPAs observed facility board minutes, staff schedule, LIC 500, and five client files. LPAs observed documented signatures of client rights, house rules, education on reporting abuse, and treatment plans. LPAs reviewed five staff files. Based on five staff files, the training documents are in compliance, except one staff member is missing documentation regarding about health development, sexuality development, and emotional development. Newport Happy Valley is currently working in compliance to document all staff training based on the citation given to Newport Arena on 10/02/2024.
LPAs conducted five (5) client interviews. LPAs conducted a walk through of the facility. LPAs did not observe physical plant deficiencies. |
