13 | It was also alleged that the facility does not have telephone service. On 6/16/2023, at about 12:00 PM, LPA visited the facility unannounced. LPA was met by Caregiver, Maricela Vega-Delgado who, after LPA introduced himself and explained the purpose of the visit, allowed LPA into the facility. On the day of the visit, LPA obtained and reviewed facility records and verified that the facility telephone had service and was working.
The Department's investigation into this allegation consisted of outside source, staff and resident interviews and LPA observation. During the virtual visit to the facility on 4/1/2021, facility staff informed LPA that the facility telephone service had been disconnected one week prior to the visit. Additionally, through direct observation, LPA observed and determined that none of the alternate telephone numbers provided by the facility had voice mail set up.
Based on LPA direct observation and staff interviews, there is sufficient evidence to prove that the facility did not have telephone service. Therefore, the allegation is Substantiated.
A deficiency is cited per California Code of Regulations, Title 22 (refer to the attached LIC 9099-D). An exit interview was conducted with Caregiver, Vega-Delgado to whom a copy of this report, LIC 9099-C, LIC 9099-D, and the Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC 9058 03/22) were provided. |
