32 | During interviews with the clients, none of them corroborated the allegation. All clients interviewed did not indicate that they had any issues in receiving their P&I funds. During interview with the staff, two (2) out of three (3) corroborated the allegation. One staff member interviewed stated that the error was a documentation error that occurred on C1's birthday party on 2/2/2026. It was revealed that a staff member accidentally included a receipt totalling $158.10 on C1's P&I ledger, and after reviewing the receipt it was confirmed that this purchase was made for the facility groceries rather than a personal purchase by the C1. The staff added that the receipts for C1's purchases made on 2/2/2026 was lost. Another staff interviewed stated that C1 was reimbursed for the error in their P&I ledger and the error was corrected, and that the client's P&I funds were never intermingled with the facility funds. During record review of C1's P&I ledger, LPA observed the error in documentation that occurred on 2/2/2026 where the receipt for facility groceries was documented in C1's P&I ledger. On 6/11/2026, the ledger was corrected and the money was reimbursed to C1. C1's P&I funds were counted, and C1's balance of $679.93 was observed to match up with the money that was in their P&I envelope. ELARC's CAP also describes the incident and the error that occurred on C1's P&I ledger.
Based on LPA interviews conducted with the clients and staff, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met for the above allegations, therefore the allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 1 is being cited on the attached LIC9099D.
