25 | This unannounced inspection is being conducted by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Sean Haddad for the purpose of issuing citations for deficiencies observed during the investigation into Complaint Control No. 22-AS-20210420104726. LPA met with facility staff James Lee and explained the reason for today’s inspection. Administrator (AD) Hyo Sook Kim was not present during the inspection.
The investigation into the allegation that the facility has bed bugs revealed the following: During the course of the investigation, LPAs inspected the facility and resident rooms via tele-visit due to COVID-19 and pre-cautionary measures, interviewed witnesses, residents, and staff, and obtained and reviewed copies of the resident roster, staff roster, photographs and videos of bed bugs at the facility, pest control records, pharmacy records, and an incident report received by the Orange County Regional Office (OCRO) on 04/29/21.
Per 2 photographs and 2 videos showing bed bugs at the facility and interviews with AD, the facility had bed bugs at least 3 weeks prior to LPA’s inspection on 04/28/21, however based on review of incident reports received at the OCRO, the facility did not report this case of bed bugs to LPA or the OCRO until 04/29/21, the day after LPA’s inspection and approximately 3 weeks after the discovery of bed bugs at the facility.
Based on the interviews conducted and records reviewed during the investigation, violations are being cited per Title 22 Division 6 of the California Code of Regulations. See LIC809D. Based on review of the facility's compliance history, which revealed the licensee was cited for the same violation within the last 12 months, civil penalties in the amount of $250 per repeat violation are being assessed. Civil penalties of $100 per day, per violation will accrue until the deficiencies are corrected. See LIC421FC. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report and appeal rights was discussed with and provided to facility representative. |
