25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Pang Lee arrived at facility unannounced to conduct a case management visit on 12/19/24, at 10:00 AM. LPA Lee met with care staff Lyn Manugo and Corazon Ebilane and explained the purpose of the visit. Care staff Lyn called and informed Assistant Administrator, Kimberly Espiritu to informed that CCLD was present in the home. The census is 4.
The purpose of today's visit is to follow up on an incident report concerning an AWOL event that occurred on 12/15/24. It was determined that Client 1 (C1) successfully left the facility unattended at 6:30 AM. Facility staff contacted law enforcement to report a missing person. At 9:50 AM, the deputy informed the care home that C1 had been located. By 10:00 AM, C1 was escorted back to the facility by the deputy. It was revealed that C1 was found inside an unlocked moving truck, located just a few houses away from the care home. The truck's owner noticed C1 while preparing for work. Additionally, C1's LIC 602 Physician’s Report, dated 04/22/24, states that C1 is able to leave unassisted with the direction of 1:1 supervision. Staff reported that if C1 were to leave the facility unattended, C1 would not have the ability to return independently. According to C1’s Power of Attorney (POA), C1 is non-ambulatory and unable to leave the facility unassisted. Furthermore, C1 is in the process of transitioning to another care home that can provide a higher level of care, including 24/7 nighttime supervision.
Based on today’s case management, a citation is issued under Title 22, Division 6. An immediate civil penalty in the amount of $500 is assessed on 12/19/24 due to lack of care and supervision and an immediate health and safety risk to C1. An exit interview was conducted with care staff. A copy of this LIC 809, LIC 809-D and appeal rights was provided to the facility at the end of the visit.
