Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Deborah Mullen conducted an unannounced visit on this date. LPA met with Mon Recinto, Licensee. The purpose of the visit was to follow up on information obtained during the investigation of complaint control # 18-AS-20210315132120.

During the investigation it was discovered that licensee accepted resident 1 (R1) prior to conducting a pre-placement appraisal, that staff were hiding medication in R1’s food and that incidents that transpired during the time R1 was in placement were not reported to Community Care Licensing.

In addition, during the inspection LPA observed the hall closet and the kitchen pantry being used as staff bedrooms, a key deadbolt installed on the front door and three latches installed on the interior of the front door, preventing residents from exiting the home. This poses an immediate health and safety risk to residents in care.

As a result of the above stated information and in accordance with Title 22 regulations, citations are being as detailed on the attached LIC 9099D.

An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report and appeal rights were reviewed with and provided to the Licensee.
