25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Karina Canela arrived unannounced at Paradise Home for the purpose of conducting a Case Management - Deficiencies inspection. LPA met with Ana Morales-Astroga, Administrator. Licensee Selene Cruz-Astroga was also present.
LPA returned to issue citation and civil penalty due to former Staff (S1) who was fingerprint cleared but found not to be associated to the facility as required. S1 was involved in complaint investigation; complaint control #21-AS-20220323095522. S1 was sent to be fingerprinted and associated to the facility but due to an error of being fingerprinted with the Home Care Aide Registry, S1 was not associated to Paradise Home.
LPA explained prior to anyone working (including shadowing a staff and/or training), volunteering, residing or being present in any part of the licensed facility, they are required to be fingerprint cleared and associated to the facility. LPA explained Community Care Licensing (CCL) requirements and provided the regulation.
Licensee & Administrator stated they understood CCL's requirements and prior to anyone working, providing care, volunteering, or residing at a licensed facility, the individual must obtain a fingerprint clearance and be associated to the facility.
**An immediate civil penalty in the amount of $500 was assessed during today's inspection for S1 who was not associated to Paradise Home while providing care and supervision to clients.
Deficiencies cited (see LIC809-D page) from the California Code of Regulations (Title 22, Division 6). Failure to correct the deficiency and/or repeat deficiencies within a 12 month period may result in civil penalties. Appeal Rights Provided.
