32 | On 06/26/2026, LPA Hughes conducted a follow-up visit and requested updated LIC 500 Personnel Reports to verify the administrator’s presence. Review of LIC 500 Personnel Reports dated 12/31/2025 through 04/08/2026 reflected a change in facility administrators effective 04/08/2026. During an interview, the facility administrator stated they were unaware they had been designated as the facility administrator until 04/17/2026. However, the records reviewed were not consistent with observations made during the investigation or statements obtained from residents regarding the administrator’s presence at the facility. This was observed not in compliance with Title 22 regulation 87405(a), as the facility did not ensure facility administrator presence in the facility for a sufficient amount of time to effectively manage the facility and carry out duties as required by regulation.
Based on the information gathered through this visit, the administrator is not fulfilling administrator duties.
A civil penalty of $1000 is being issued today for a repeat violation of Section 87405(a) by not ensuring there is an administrator applicable to conduct administrator duties at the facility.
As a result, this allegation is SUBSTANTIATED. A finding that the complaint is substantiated means that the allegations are valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met. Deficiencies cited on the LIC 9099-D, per Title 22 Regulations. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of the LIC 9099, LIC 9099-D pages and appeal rights were provided to facility.
