...Continued from LIC 9099... It was alleged that there was an absence of supervision and that facility staff are not fingerprint cleared and/or associated to the facility. It was reported that LAFD responded to an emergency call and arrived at 7:56 p.m. Additionally, the LAFD remained on scene until a staff member arrived at the facility at 8:20 p.m. Record review revealed that Individual #1 (I1) developed a medical emergency on 11/22/2020 and was found to be anxious and hyperventilating and in a room that appeared to be used by an employee. When I1 was asked if they were an employee, I1 stated they were not a worker but a family member of the owner and was only there for the night. Also, interviews conducted revealed that I1 had stated there was no other staff in the facility when asked if there were any other workers there. Furthermore, the LAFD waited for another staff to arrive at the facility after I1 was transported to the hospital due to there being no other staff present to care and supervise the residents. When Staff #1 (S1) arrived at the facility, they were asked if they worked at the facility to which S1 stated that they did. S1 was asked if I1 was an employee and S1 stated that I1, ‘’was not a worker, but was asked sometimes to stay the night by the owner’. Additionally, record review of files revealed that there was no staff file for S1. Information gathered revealed that neither S1 nor I1 were associated and/or were listed on the facility’s employee roster. Based on all information gathered during the course of the investigation, the above allegations, “absence of supervision” and “facility staff are not fingerprint cleared and/or associated to the facility” are deemed Substantiated at this time. A Civil Penalty for $200 will be assessed today. Pursuant to CCR, Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8, the following deficiencies are cited (Refer to LIC LIC9099-D). Exit interview conducted. Citation issued. Appeal Rights discussed. A copy of report provided via email.
