25 | On December 19, 2023, Licensing Program analysts (LPA's) Manuel Monter, Mita Partoza and Licensing Program Manager (LPM) Romeo Manzano conducted a case management visit/inspection during a complaint investigation. LPA's observed 6 residents in the facility with 3 staff members.
As a result of the complaint investigation, the Department issued an immediate exclusion letter to exclude a staff (S1) who is currently works and resides at the facility. The letter was given to and reviewed to S1 and Administrator/Licensee. This report is reviewed and discussed, and a copy is provided.
During a complaint investigation interview with the staff, LPA's and LPM observed staff S2 and his/her spouse exit from the backyard storage area. S2 and his/her spouse was observed folding blankets and storing them at adjacent storage unit. S2 stated he/she was staying in the storage area with his/her spouse while waiting for S2 to leave work and stays until 2PM when his/her child goes out of school daily (Monday to Friday) since the school year began, sometime in August 2023.
Staff S1 and S3 confirmed that S2's spouse comes to the facility, and waits for S2 to finish his/her night shift. S1 and S3 confirmed S2's spouse other also enters the facility to use the restroom as well. LPA's reviewed Guardian, and S2's spouse is not fingerprinted. S2's spouse went to obtain his/her livescan, and was informed to refrain from being present in the facility.
On October 24, 2023, the facility was cited under code 87202(a) by having staff members use the storage area in the backyard as a rest area/living quarter. LPA also inspected the storage area, which contained electric wires. Based on interviews and LPA's observations, facility staff continue to use the backyard storage space as a rest area. A civil penalty is being assessed for the amount of $1,000 for a repeat violation within the same year.
