On 1/03/25 Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Greg Clark arrived unannounced to deliver findings in regards to the allegation above. LPA spoke to Betty Porter, Administrator (Admin) and explained the purpose of the visit. Admin gave permission for Care Staff Cozette McGathen to sign the report.

During the course of the investigation LPA reviewed the facility roster on Guardian and interviewed facility staff and residents. LPA left several messages for W1 but never heard back from him.

S1 stated that when R1's brother told her about the alleged misconduct of S2 she immediately interviewed R1 and R2. S1 believed that R1 and R2 were offered drinks and marijuana by S2 at his house. S1 immediately suspended S2 and later terminated his employment from the facility.

***report continues from LIC9099***

LPA interviewed R1 and R2 at their day program which is community based and not licensed. R1 and R2 both said that during an outing with S2 some months ago he stopped at his house and invited R1 and R2 in. R1 and R2 stated that S2 offered them drinks and marijuana. Both R1 and R2 denied accepting the offer but did see S2 drinking and smoking marijuana.

LPA reviewed the facility's roster and found that S2 has been separated from the facility.

Based on LPA interviews which were conducted, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations (Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8), are being cited on the attached LIC 9099D.

Exit interview conducted, a copy of this report and appeal rights provided.
