25 | Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Christine Dolores and Manuel Monter arrived unannounced to conduct a case management – deficiencies visit. LPAs met with Administrator, Doris Gonzalez and Manager, Esther Kattan.
On 01/24/2023, an investigator from the Department arrived at the facility to conduct an interview with staff (S1) regarding a complaint from a resident’s day program. Based on the interview, S1 has been living and working in the facility full-time for more than a year. Upon the investigators review of the Department's background check system, it appeared S1 was not fingerprint cleared and associated to the facility. During visit, LPA interviewed staff. Based on interview, S1 has a different last name. LPAs reviewed and obtained S1's live scan form and the Department of Justice fingerprint response, in which the date of birth matched with the individual in question. Based on review of Guardian, S1 is fingerprint cleared but is not associated to the facility. The facility was unable to produce the transfer request paperwork. Administrator and Manager was advised.
During visit, LPAs toured the facility to include the kitchen, living room, resident bedrooms, staff bedrooms, bathrooms, and backyard. No clients observed on site. Staff (S3) state 5 out of 5 clients are attending day program. LPAs observed staff (S2) inside the staff bedroom. Administrator states S2 "sometimes" sleeps in the facility. Administrator states S2 went to receive a live scan about twenty-three days ago but they have not received a background clearance. Manager states S2 started training on Wednesday, 04/12/23 and has slept in the facility for two days. S2 was asked to leave immediately. LPA Dolores informed Administrator that S2 cannot be living or working in a licensed care facility without obtaining a criminal record background clearance from the Department. Administrator and Manager understood. SEE LIC809-C. |
