13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Yolanda Delgado conducted an unannounced visit to investigate the allegation above. The LPA met with Efren Lucena.
An interview with the administrator confirmed an eviction notice had been served to Resident (R1). Records reviewed revealed the eviction notice did not meet the regulation requirements. The licensee's eviction notice failed to include the effective date of the closure of the facility, a copy of R1's current service plan, a relocation evaluation, a list of referral agencies, and also did not include the local long-term care obudsman's address and telephone number. Additionally, the eviction notice provided to R1 did not include a statement informing R1 of their right to file a complaint with the licensing agency and the licensing agency's name, address, and telephone number. The licensee's eviction notice also failed to include the exact statement as specified in Health and Safety Code Section 1569.683(a)(4) which includes information on resident not being evicted after effective date unless served by unlawful detainer action in Superior Court and receive a written judgment signed by a judge, the resident must be served with a summons and complaint and the resident has the right to contest the eviction in writing and through a hearing.
The eviction notice served to R1 was not in compliance with the applicable regulations. This poses an immediate personal rights risk to R1.
Based on LPA's observations, interviews, and record reviews which were conducted, 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 & Chapter 8), is being cited on the attached LIC9099D. An exit interview was conducted where this report, LIC9099D and appeal rights were provided to Administrator Efren Lucena. |
