Regional Managers (RMs) Reyna Lacey and Leslie Mendiveles, Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Debbie Mullen, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs)Tricia Danielson, Stephanie Torres, David Cuevas, and Javina George arrived unannounced to the facility to delivery an Accusation (Appointment of Temporary Manager) and issue a Temporary Suspension Order (TSO) to Licensee Prospect LG LLC and facility personnel. RMs, LPM, and LPAs met with Community Relations Director (CRD) Carrie MacDonald. Licensee Prospect LG LLC CEO Mark Hellickson was not present.

RM Reyna Lacey explained the purpose of today's visit and the meaning of the accusation which indicates that as of December 2, 2021, the facility is determined to be operating under circumstances which present a substantial probability of imminent danger of serious physical harm or death to residents of the facility, as follows:
  • Licensee is insolvent
  • Licensee has failed to submit a viable financial plan to the Department
  • Licensee has failed to secure a qualified administrator
  • Licensee has been uncooperative in their responsibilities to the facility

The Department has appointed R2R Ventures as the temporary manager of the facility as Licensee is unwilling or unable to comply with Health and Safety Code requirements to provide a safe environment for residents in care as ordered to do so by the Department or when otherwise required by law. The written accusation and order were provided to CRD MacDonald in the absence of Prospect LG LLC and/or Mark Hellickson. RM Reyna Lacey explained the procedure to appeal this action, if chosen to do so. CRD MacDonald was informed that the facility must cooperate with the Department, the Ombudsman’s office and the families and/or the responsible parties, if applicable, in helping the residents to relocate. CRD MacDonald (CONTINUED ON LIC 809C)
