25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Patrick Shanahan conducted a virtual visit of this facility. At 11am, the LPA toured the facility for health and safety concerns with the assistance of the facility administrator, Maria Trinidad.
During a COVID-19 Welfare phone call, conducted by LPA Elizabeth Arambulo, on 10/28/2020 the administrator confirmed that on 10/18/2020 she conducted an interview with a potential new staff. The administrator stated that she was not sure if this person would be a good fit as a new employee and wanted her husband to conduct a second interview with the potential new staff. The second interview was scheduled for the next day, but the applicant allegedly did not have a place to stay. As such, the administrator offered the applicant the option to stay on a couch in the facility garage. The applicant agreed and stayed the night in the facility garage. The applicant was not finger print cleared or associated to the facility.
The next day, the administrator's husband arrived at the facility and conducted a second interview, where it was determined that the applicant would not be a good fit for the facility. After the applicant left, the applicant allegedly became upset and threatened the administrator and the facility. The administrator decided to go to the police and filed a restraining order against the applicant. This incident was not disclosed to the case carrying LPA, nor was an incident report submitted to the Department.
Based on the above information, the Administrator allowed an uncleared person to stay overnight in the facility garage, and failed to report an unusual incident to the Department.
Deficiencies issued per California Code of Regulations Title 22. Civil penalties assessed. Appeal rights issued. Exit interview conducted. A copy of the report was issued via email for signature. |
