32 | Allegation: Uncleared individual provided care and supervision
It is alleged that an unclear individual provided care and supervision to residents at the facility. It was reported the individual worked at the facility from approximately 12/18/2023 through 01/29/2024 without obtaining a criminal record clearance. During record review, LPA reviewed CDSS Guardian system and confirmed that a criminal record clearance application had been initiated by the facility on 12/16/2023; however, the application was not completed. Additionally, the Licensee acknowledged that the individual participated in training with licensee that included medication management and providing care and supervision to residents prior to obtaining a criminal record clearance. Licensee stated that this experience was "a lesson learned" and indicated that they would ensure proper clearance procedures are followed before allowing individuals to participate in training or resident care in the future. During former S1's interview, S1 stated that they worked at the facility from approximately 12/18/2023 through 01/29/2024. S1 reported that, during that time, they participated in training that included medication management and providing care and supervision to residents. During client interviews, C1 recalled the staff member but stated that they had not seen them recently. C2 and C3 stated that they did not know the staff member.
Based on LPA's observations and interviews which were conducted and record review, 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 and Chapter 1 are being cited on the attached LIC 9099D. Immediate Civil penalties are being issued during today’s visit in the amount of $500. Due to uncleared staff working at the facility. Please refer to LIC 421.
