25 | On 06/21/2023 at 09:30 a.m., Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Sandra Urena, and Teresa Camara conducted an unannounced Case Management-Deficiency visit, due to two incidents that took place during the investigation of Complaint Control # 29-AS-20230609085812 and Complaint Control #29-AS-20230612152257 on 06/19/2023. The LPAs met with Administrator Elba Khachatryan and explained the reason for the visit.
On 06/19/2023, during the course of the investigation of the complaints listed above, the administrator and Staff #1 (S1) engaged in an Inimical Conduct towards the LPA. At approximately 12:20 p.m., the LPA was sitting at the dining room table in the common area writing the LIC 9099 complaint reports, when the administrator said to the LPA in a demanding voice, “Stop what you are doing and answer a question. Why did you conduct the interview in Spanish?” (The administrator was referring to the interview of Resident #1 (R1), which the LPA conducted in the privacy of their bedroom with the door closed. How did the administrator even know the interview was in Spanish unless they were eavesdropping?). The LPA replied to the administrator that the interview can be done in whichever language the resident speaks. The administrator stated that the resident spoke English too, and once again questioned the LPA about why the interview was done in Spanish? The LPA repeated that the interview can be conducted as best to communicate in private with the resident.
While the LPA was still speaking with the administrator, S1 stood by the dining room table and interjected themselves into the conversation and addressed the LPA in a disrespectful manner while using a loud voice. The LPA stated to S1 that their tone of voice was unprofessional and disrespectful; to which S1 stated the following: ‘Everything is being recorded’ (at this time the administrator motioned to the caregiver with their hand to be quiet). S1 ignored the motion by the administrator and yelled the following to the LPA; “‘Who the f--k do you think you are? ‘I told you to speak English’. ‘You are a racist’. ‘You get paid by me’.” The LPA tried to speak, and S1 yelled, “I don’t give a f--k what you say, you are losing your job (laugh).” S1 later repeated to the LPA ‘you are losing your job’ while laughing
