Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) conducted an unannounced 10-day visit to investigate the above allegation. LPA met with the Administrator Dion Gallarza at 9:45 am and explained the reason for the visit. During today's visit, LPA conducted interviews with the Administrator and Staff from 9:50 am to 11:32 am. At 10:30 am, LPA reviewed the facility files of staff who currently and previously assisted with medication administration. According to the record review 1 out of 4 staff who currently or previously in 2020 carried out Med Tech duties did not have current training in their files. Interviews with the Administrator and Staff revealed that they never received any medication certification or documentation that they had completed the required amount of medication training. Based on the lack of training documentation in staff files this allegation is Substantiated. The following deficiencies were observed (See LIC 9099-D) and cited from the California Code of Regulations, Title 22 and California Health and Safety Code. Failure to correct the deficiencies may result in civil penalties. Exit interview conducted. The report was signed, however a copy of the signed report was emailed, along with the appeal rights.
