25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Dang Nguyen conducted an unannounced Case Management Visit to cite deficiencies identified during a separate complaint investigation. LPA was welcomed by, identified himself to, and discussed the purpose of the visit with Licensee Trinidad Dela Rosa and Caregiver Frederico "Eric" Ramos.
Interviews of Licensee and facility staff showed that for at least five (5) workdays, Licensee briefly employed Staff #1 (S1) as a caregiver of the facility to cover another caregiver’s vacation. [See LIC811 Confidential Name List for identification of select person identifiers used in this report.] A review of CCLD’s Guardian Database showed that while S1 possessed an active background clearance with CCLD to work with clients, Licensee did not ensure that S1 was associated to the facility’s employee roster, as required. By the date of CCLD’s identification of the issue, S1 was no longer working at the facility.
CCLD requested a copy of the facility’s dated employee time/work schedule for the month of September 2024. Licensee replied that they did not maintain any such schedule at the facility (which was required by regulation).
Two (2) deficiencies were cited per California Code of Regulations, Title 22 (refer to the attached LIC 809-D page). Since one of the deficiencies is an employee background violation, a Background Check Civil Penalty (BCCP) of $500 was assessed/charged to Licensee (refer to the LIC421-BG page). Since the facility will be closing and ceasing operations today, no Plan of Correction was formed with Licensee.
An exit interview was conducted with Dela Rosa and Ramos, to whom a copy of this report, the LIC 9099-D page, the LIC421-BG page, and the Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC9058 03/22) were provided.
