On 04/20/23 The Department conducted an unannounced facility visit to follow up on an allegation that an excluded individual was employed at the facility.
Upon arrival, the Department requested to speak with the facility designated Administrator or Designee. Neither were available. The Department was informed that the Licensee had gone out of town and that the facility designated Administrator was on a cruise. In addition to the excluded individual referenced in the above complaint number, an individual, who represented themselves as a volunteer, (S3) was also present at the facility and was not fingerprint cleared. During the facility visit, the Department, asked the Licensee to seek replacement caregivers immediately. Approximately 40 minutes later an associated staff member (S2) arrived. The Department requested an LIC 500 which S1 was unable to provide. The facility caregiver, S2, arrived at the facility and was provided the immediate exclusion letter for SI. The facility staff person, S2, was unable to provide an LIC 500, however they wrote a partial list of staff names from payroll records to assist the department. While S2 was compiling the list of employees, S3 and S1 reported that they had just spoke to the License, via telephone, and she stated that she did not want S2 to go into her office and that she would be in shortly and would provide the list of names herself. The department advised staff that they should always know where the staff and resident rosters are, and that these documents must be made available to Licensing upon request. Four of the names from this list were not fingerprint cleared.
On 04/21/23 The Department contacted the Licensee via telephone, identified themselves and explained the reason for the call. The Department informed Licensee, “her staff should know where the staff and resident roster is always, and it should be made available to licensing upon visit.” A copy of the LIC 500 was provided via fax on this day. It also contained the names of two of the four individuals whom were not fingerprint |
