32 | Regarding the allegation: Facility is not following the admission agreement. It was alleged that the facility’s admission agreement was not followed due to insufficient staffing. To investigate the allegation, LPA conducted record reviews. LPA’s review of records revealed that on 09/15/2025, a Residential and Home and Community-Based Services Waivers (HCBS) Annual review was conducted by North Los Angeles Regional Center (NLARC) staff and during their audit, documentation of staff 24-hour schedule was not made available. On 10/01/2025 an unannounced visit to obtain the requested documentation was conducted by NLARC staff where the documentation revealed the required staff scheduling per the Program Design of 408 hours was not provided but instead only 271 hours were shown to have been provided. This revealed a deficiency of 137 required hours resulting in a Corrective Action Plan (CAP) under Title 17 being issued to the facility on 10/13/2025. However, LPA’s record review of the facility’s Program Design revealed that only a sample schedule showcasing 408 hours was disclosed (page 65). Additional record review of clients’ Admission Agreement confirmed that no set hours of staff scheduling are documented. LPA’s interview with the Administrator stated that their Program Design showcased a sample staff schedule and stated the facility would abide by their Program Design.
Based on record review and interviews, there is not enough information to verify the allegation, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED at this time.
No immediate health and safety issues observed during the day of the visit. Exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report was provided to the Administrator.
