25 | On December 07, 2023 at 10:30 AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Juliet Robles made an unannounced visit to the foster family agency (FFA) and met Jennifer Mills, Director of Operations/Supervising Social Worker for the purpose of conducting a case management inspection regarding a special incident report (SIR) that was submitted to Community Care Licensing Department (CCLD) on 11/10/23 about resource mother’s (RM) Driving Under the Influence DUI case and failed to report to FFA (reference Confidential Name Form LIC 811 dated 12/07/23).
It was found that Resource Mother (RM) failed to report a Special Incident Report (SIR) when she got arrested on 10/27/23 while out to dinner with friends. According to the Director, she found out about the incident from an online arrest report notification and contacted RM and gathered more information. RM confirmed the DUI arrest and withheld the information to the FFA and CSW and planned to report the incident on 11/14/23 during a home visit. Per report, RM’s BAC was below the legal limit so her case was dismissed. LPA was provided a copy of an Order of Set Aside or Reinstatement document from Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
The incident dated 10/27/23 was reported to the licensing agency on 11/10/23 after the incident occurred. The special incident report (SIR) did not get reported to the licensing agency or Community Care Licensing (CCL) within 24-hour time frame as required and will be cited today.
Based on the above information, a deficiency citation is issued under 88487.6 REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
(a) A Resource Family shall make a report to a foster family agency when any of the following events occur:
(16) A Resource Parent, or an adult who resides in or is regularly present in the home and has a criminal record clearance or exemption, is arrested, or has a subsequent arrest.
An exit interview was conducted where the citation and plan of correction were discussed. Appeals rights were provided and discussed with the FFA Director.
