25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jesse Gardner conducted an unannounced Case Management inspection to address information revealed during an investigation. Refer to 10-CC-20240424165213. LPA met with Licensee Dawn Morris, and explained the purpose of the visit, and was allowed entry into the facility. LPA then toured the facility inside and out.
During the course of the investigation, it was found that on 4/22/24, two uncleared staff were counted on to be responsible to provide care and supervision to children in the facility. Staff One (S1) was said by the Licensee to live at the facility for approximately 2 weeks. Staff Two (S2) was said by the Licensee to have worked at the facility for approximately 6 months with initial clearance request paperwork signed in 7/2023. S1 did not have a clearance letter provided by the Department of Justice. Record review revealed that both S1, and S2 were found to not have a cleared background through Guardian.
Based on information gathered, the Licensee did not abide by Title 22 regulations; thus, a citation, and (2) immediate Civil Penalties were issued.
