Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Angela Barutyan conducted a Case Management - Deficiencies visit in conjunction with a complaint visit (Complaint Control #29-AS-20250113104134). The purpose of the visit is to issue a citation for a deficiency observed during the initial complaint investigation. During the visit on 01/15/2025, LPA observed Staff #1 (S1) without a criminal record clearance. S1 stated to LPA that they are new and have been working at the facility for only one (1) day. However, Administrator Irina Fried stated that S1 began working at the facility a few weeks ago and is still in training. Per Administrator, S1 is a caregiver and also handles medications, therefore, S1 would need to obtain a criminal record clearance. LPA spoke with Licensee Serguei Kalistratov and Administrator at 12:45PM who stated that S1 began working and residing at the facility on 01/12/2025 when there were no residents residing at the facility due to evacuation orders on 01/09/2025 for the Palisades fire. However, per regulation, a criminal record clearance must be obtained prior to working or residing at the facility. Administrator stated that a livescan for S1 was submitted today and showed proof. The following deficiency was observed (See LIC 809-D.) and cited from the California Code of Regulations, Title 22. Civil penalties were issued in the amount of $300. Failure to correct the deficiency may result in additional civil penalties. Exit interview was conducted. A copy of the report and appeal rights were provided.
