32 | Regarding the allegation: Uncleared staff directing residents in care. On 04/13/2023, the Department received a complaint alleging that an uncleared, excluded individual was involved with residents’ care. It was alleged that the excluded individual had involvement in the placement and relocation of residents at the facility. During the initial visit, staff interviews denied the presence or involvement of the excluded individual. However, two (2) out of six (6) residents did state that the excluded individual goes to the facility and is involved in residents’ care. During the interview with S1 on 04/18/2024, S1 stated and confirmed that S1 would call the excluded individual for help regarding the care of residents. S1 denied that the excluded individual would physically go inside the facility, but S1 did state that S1 would call the excluded individual regarding the facility and residents. S1 did not go into detail of what the excluded individual’s main role was to the facility, however S1 described the excluded individual as an owner of the facility. Per interviews, the excluded individual was involved and was directing residents in care. Based on the information gathered during the course of the investigation, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is deemed Substantiated.
Per the California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8, California Health and Safety Code the following deficiencies were observed and cited during the visit (See 9099-D). A $500 immediate civil penalty is assessed today.
Exit interview conducted. A copy of the report and appeal rights was issued to the former licensee mail for signature. |
