11/14/2024 03:45 PM Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Rebecca Knight conducted an unannounced case management visit and met with Executive Director Irene Davis. Today’s visit is regarding an incident that was reported to licensing on 10/09/2024. On 10/092024, the regional office received an incident report regarding a report of financial abuse from a staff to a resident. During the course of the investigation, it was learned that Staff 1 (S1) was not associated to the facility. On 10/08/2024 the CCLD Duty Officer pulled a Guardian Person Summary for Staff 1 (S1). This report revealed that S1 has been associated to four facilities, Country Crest Assisted Living is not on the list of facilities S1 has ever been associated to. On the same day, the duty officer pulled a Guardian Personnel list for Country Crest Assisted Living and S1 was not on that list. Therefore, S1 has never been associated to the facility and was working in the facility while not associated to the facility. A civil penalty was assessed in the amount of $500.00 on 11/14/2024 on the attached LIC421. Based on interviews and evidence obtained during the investigation, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore, the allegation that staff was working in the facility without being associated to the facility is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, (Title 22), is being cited on the attached LIC809D. Appeal rights were provided. Exit interview was conducted and the report was provided to administrator Irene Davis.
