32 | Allegation: Facility is using unapproved surveillance systems on residents in care. During the course of this investigation, LPA interviewed Staff #1, Staff #2 (S-1 and S-2), Client #3 (C-3) and Client #4 (C-4). LPA attempted to interview Client #1 and Client #2 (C-1 and C-2), however, C-1 and C-2 were unable to understand the interview questions. Staff interviews revealed there are surveillance cameras inside the common areas of this facility. Facility Administrator was unable to locate any documentation that has been submitted to Community Care Licensing pertaining to a surveillance system. Facility Administrator indicated that the surveillance cameras were taken down shortly after a visit that was completed by their Placement Agency. Per Staff interviews, the surveillance cameras do not have audio. Interviewed Clients indicated this facility had surveillance cameras in the common areas only.
The preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be substantiated. California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6 and Chapter 1 & 6 are being cited on the attached LIC 9099D.
Exit interview conducted, Appeal Rights and a copy of this report was provided to Facility Administrator. |
