The complaint alleges that the Licensee did not reveal the license number in all advertisements. LPA reviewed an advertisement contained in the magazine “greet Corona del Mar” titled “A Year in Stories: 2023” and dated January 2024. The print advertisement is for Newport Healthcare and contains 2 (two) QR (quick response) codes – one is labeled “Teen Resources” and the other is labeled “Young Adult Resources.” When using a smartphone to scan the QR code labeled “Young Adult Resources,” the user is directed to https://www.newportinstitute.com. The website contains articles and links and after much scrolling, at the bottom of the mobile site, there is a link entitled “License Numbers.” Clicking on the link leads the reader to a page which indicates “404. We couldn’t find what you were looking for…” LPA spoke with Facility Designee who confirmed that the advertisement in the magazine is affiliated with this facility and corresponding Licensee. Therefore, based on interview and record review, the allegation that “Licensee is not revealing the license number in all advertisements” is deemed SUBSTANTIATED at this time.

Pursuant to Title 22 CA Code of Regulations and/or CA Health & Safety code, the following deficiency was cited (refer to LIC 9099-D). Facility Designee was informed that failure to correct the deficiency may result in civil penalties.

Exit interview conducted. A copy of the report and appeal rights were provided via email.

Based on interview and record review, the Licensee did not comply with the above cited section, as a print magazine contains an advertisement for Newport Institute, but does not list the license number for this facility, which poses a potential personal rights risk to persons in care.
