32 | On 11/27/2021, the Department was notified that the candidate (“interim”) administrator had passed the Administrator Certification Examination; subsequently, on 11/29/2021, LPA Han emailed to the facility a list of the required documents necessary to report and update the administrator’s requirements for the facility. Those documents included a board resolution appointing the new Administrator, a copy of current Administrator’s Certificate (or proof that certificate was pending to be issued), a copy of the LIC 308 (Designation of Facility Responsibility), LIC501 Personal Report, LIC500 Personnel report, LIC503 Health Screening report/TB test, LIC508 Criminal Record, and a copy of the LIC 309 (Administrative Organization). Section 87211 Reporting Requirements, subsection (g) requires the licensee to notify the Department, in writing, within thirty (30) days of the hiring of a new administrator. However, the licensee failed to respond and provide the corresponding forms and documents.
On 2/1/2022 the licensee wanted to confirm that the change of administrator had occurred. LPA Han notified the licensee that the facility failed to submit the required documentation in violation of Section 87211 Reporting Requirements. Then, the licensee submitted partial documentation. The facility failed to provide verification that the named staff had a current administrator’s certification and failed to submit a completed and updated LIC 610E (Emergency Disaster Plan for Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly). The LIC610E is a form that is posted at the facility, among other reasons to clearly and publicly designate responsibilities in case of emergency. Instead, on 2/24/2022, the licensee submitted a LIC610E referring to the emergency and evacuation plan contained within the plan of operations, which does not requires posting.
Based on the above information, the licensee has failed to provide evidence to the Department that there has been a qualified designated administrator’s substitute as specified under Section 87405 (a); furthermore, the licensee has not had a qualified certified administrator as required under the same Section since 10/29/2021. Moreover, the facility has failed to report a change of administrator as required under Section 87211 Reporting Requirements.
Deficiencies of the California Code of Regulations, Title, 22 cited on the LIC809-D. Failure to correct the deficiencies may result in civil penalties. Report was discussed with the acting administrator, and Appeal Rights provided.
A copy of this report was provided to the acting administrator.
Acting Administrator is refusing to sign. |
