It was alleged that Licensee did not ensure that staff are adequately trained as In-Service Training documentation did not provide general (required) information.
During the course of the investigation, on 08/05/2024, LPA conducted a tour of the physical plant with Administrator and requested relevant documents. Additionally, between 12:30 P.M. and 1:30 P.M., LPA interviewed administrator and staff members. Interviews with staff revealed that there is online training in place for employees and occasionally the administrator conducts in-service training sessions. Interview with the administrator confirmed that a third-party service is utilized to provide in-house training. To investigate this complaint, LPA conducted an audit on the facilities in-service training and a facility’s file review. A review of in-house training documentation revealed that some training was conducted after the annual visit from the North Los Angeles County Regional Center conducted on 07/30/2024. However, training records lacked key information, including a description of the training provided and resources or materials related to specific subjects. Audit identified significant gaps in the facility’s staff training practices. Furthermore, the audit revealed that the facility administrator was unable to provide documentation of the required training hours for all staff members. Based on information obtained, audit preformed and a credible witness there is sufficient evidence to support the allegation occurred. Therefore, the allegation of Staff does not have sufficient training is deemed substantiated at this time.
Pursuant to Title 22, California Code of Regulations and/or CA Health and Safety Code, the following deficiencies were cited (refer to LIC 809-D.) Administrator was informed that failure to correct the deficiencies may result in civil penalties.
Exit interview conducted, appeal rights discussed, and a copy of this report and appeal rights were provided.
