13 | Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Kimberly Lyman and Edward Tapia conducted an unannounced visit for the purpose of initiating a complaint investigation. LPAs were greeted and granted entry into the facility by Program Director Andrea Furch and explained the reason for the visit. Clinical Nurse Director Donna Enriquez was present as well.
During the visit, LPAs toured the facility and interviewed staff. Regarding the allegation that facility staff are not wearing masks appropriately, the investigation revealed the following: LPAs interviewed Program Director who confirmed Staff 1 (S1) has been observed with mask pulled down. Program Director has addressed the issue with the staff. S1 confirms loosening the mask and wearing the mask appropriately "most of the time". Both S1 and Program Director indicate S1 has health issues which make the mask uncomfortable. LPAs toured the facility and did not observe any other staff without masks. 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, Chapter 8), are being cited on the attached LIC 9099D. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report was provided along with appeal rights.
