Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

The investigation revealed the following: Allegation: Illegal Eviction LPA interviewed administrator, (S1) about the allegation. S1 stated that S1 issued an eviction notice to R1 for nonpayment of rent. R1 was given a written 30-day eviction notice on 3/02/23, and that R1s family was notified as well. S1 stated that R1 has a history of being late on the rent, and that the family has stepped in on several occasions to get R1 out of the arrears; but that it keeps happening and the facility had no other alternative but to evict R1 on the basis of non-payment of rent. On 3/15/23, LPA attempted to interview R1. R1 was not at the facility, at the time of the visit; nor did R1 respond to several voice mail messages left by LPA Scott calling to address the allegation and to confirm that R1 was issued an eviction notice. Based on the interview and record review, the administrator failed to serve R1 with an eviction notice in accordance with tittle 22 regulations. A review of the eviction notice dated 03/02/23, revealed that all components of the eviction letter were included per title 22 regulations; However, a written copy of the eviction notice was not issued to Community Care Licensing within 5-days. Therefore, the allegation of an illegal eviction is substantiated. Deficiencies cited under California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6, and Chapter 8 are being cited on the attached LIC 9099D. An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of the report was given to the administrator, Susana Fuentes.
