13 | Regarding the second allegation - Staff is not able to communicate with residents in care: LPA observed S1 was unable to effectively communicate with residents regarding their needs, care, or supervision. LPA attempted to communicate with S1 regarding the allegations mentioned while asking basic questions related to care and supervision. S1 was unable to understand or respond to LPA’s questions in English. LPA made multiple attempts to communicate using simple and direct language; however, S1 was unable to demonstrate an understanding of the questions asked without using a translator application on their cellular device to communicate. S1 telephoned Administrator, Brandon Marquez-Gutierrez (S2), to inform them of LPA's arrival. LPA was informed by S2 that they and Licensee, Sandy Zhao (S3), were unanable to be present at the facility today. LPA's reqeuests had to be translated in Spanish by S2 to S1.
