Six months of utility bills and monthly lease payments were reviewed. While gas statements show the Licensee made payment in March and June 2024, telephone bills show payments were made late for all six months, which resulted in late fees. Electric, water and trash bills were provided every two months. Past due disconnections notices were sent on February, April and June 2024 billing statements. Monthly property lease payments for a twelve-month period were reviewed and the licensee made late payments for ten of the twelve months resulting in the licensee paying $1,450 in late fees.
Based on bank statements, utility bills, and facility records reviewed, it was determined the facility does not have sufficient cash reserve to cover operating expenses for one month and the licensee does not have a financial plan that complies with CCR Title 22 Section 87213, Finances.
During August 11, 2025 visit to facility, LPA observed Resident 1 (R1) file. Upon review, R1’s Admission Agreement on file was missing last page of R1’s original Admission Agreement containing R1’s signature was missing from file. During the investigation, text messages between R1 and the Licensee were obtained, asking for cash advances. LPA obtained text messages between R1 and the Licensee, asking for cash advances. R1’s Admissions Agreement stated rent is due by the 27th of the month. A screenshot of R1’s cell phone on April 28, 2025, states the Licensee provided the 1st Payment to a loan; taken from the resident. Prior to June 4, 2025, Licensee texted R1 for an advance for the month stating Licensee needed $2,000 for a referral fee for another resident. A screenshot on Wednesday, June 25, 2025, shows R1 wired $4,500 to Licensee’s bank account. Thus, R1 paid $6,500 for rent on June 2025 ($2000 + $4,500) before the 27th of June. Another text screenshot, on July 7, 2025, requests another advance for an undisclosed amount of money.
The Licensee currently acts as the facility Administrator and has an administrator certificate which expires on April 26, 2027. Despite this, they did not ensure the facility was in accordance with regulations and established policy, program and budget resulting in insufficient funds maintained and the Licensee borrowing funds from R1.
