25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Naisha Kendrix arrived to verify the removal of a current employee, Luis Roman and to conduct a case management inspection for further information in a complaint investigation received 3/19/19. LPA met with the Wellness Director, Allison Ortiz. The Administrator, Toni Jackson was in an on-site training during the visit. LPA toured the facility and conducted additional interviews of staff, residents, and family members for the complaint investigation.
A Non-Exemptible Conviction notification letter was generated to notify the licensee and former employee that the employee is not allowed to work or be present in the facility. The employee does not have the necessary criminal record clearance, or an exception required by Title 22 for employees to work in a residential care facility for the elderly (RCFE).
LPA spoke to the Wellness Director at approximately 10:15 AM regarding the removal of the employee. Mrs. Ortiz stated the employee was employed with the facility for approximately three days but did not work directly with residents in care. After the third day employee was terminated due to unrelated performance issues. LPA spoke with two staff members who confirm Luis Roman does not currently work at the facility. LPA provided the Confirmation of Removal Notification letter for a signature to Wellness Director Ortiz.
LPA verified with Mrs. Ortiz and staff that employee is not allowed on the property or to interact with residents of the facility as of today’s inspection. Based on evidence obtained during today’s visit, the LPA has verified the individual is not present, employed or residing at the facility. LPA has advised the licensee to disassociate the individual from their roster and submit an updated LIC 500 if needed.
No deficiencies cited during the visit.
An exit interview was conducted where this report was provided to Mrs. Ortiz.
Verification of removal is complete. |
