On this day with Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Rose Ruppert met with Licensee Maria Manimbo for the purpose of conducting a case management deficiency visit regarding complaint control number 22-AS-20250805140648. During the investigation the following deficiencies were observed: A solvency audit was conducted of the facility finances for the period of July 2024 to June 2025. Per the review, the Licensee’s net profit did not take into account salary and wages in cash to the employee and was therefore determined to be unreliable. Review of the Operating costs determined the licensee did not maintain sufficient cash reserves to cover any unforeseen expense for all twelve months reviewed. The Department reviewed the Balance Sheet (LIC 403) for June 2025. Per review, $83.99 cash was in the financial institution and $11,450 was reported in current assets. The current assets reported were personal valuables, which the Department is unable to verify. The LIC 403 Balance Sheet listed $8,420.19 in liabilities. The balance sheet analysis shows that the working capital available for June 2025 is $83.99 in assets minus $8420.19 in liabilities with a working capital loss of -$8,336.18. Negative working capital indicates a company does not have enough current assets to cover short-term financial obligations. Bank statements were obtained for the period of July 2024 through June 2025. Per review of facility finances, withdrawals exceeded deposits by $6,361.82 in July 2024, and $9,495.47 in June 2025. In addition, it was determined the Licensee did not have a separate business account and has comingled funds with their personal bank funds. In September 2024 and June 2025, there was a negative ending balance, which indicates the facility did not have enough funds to cover its expenses. (Continued on LIC 809-C) (Continued form LIC 809) Six months of utility bills and monthly lease payments were reviewed. While gas statements show the Licensee made payment in March and June 2024, telephone bills show payments were made late for all six months, which resulted in late fees. Electric, water and trash bills were provided every two months. Past due disconnections notices were sent on February, April and June 2024 billing statements. Monthly property lease payments for a twelve-month period were reviewed and the licensee made late payments for ten of the twelve months resulting in the licensee paying $1,450 in late fees. Based on bank statements, utility bills, and facility records reviewed, it was determined the facility does not have sufficient cash reserve to cover operating expenses for one month and the licensee does not have a financial plan that complies with CCR Title 22 Section 87213, Finances. During August 11, 2025 visit to facility, LPA observed Resident 1 (R1) file. Upon review, R1’s Admission Agreement on file was missing last page of R1’s original Admission Agreement containing R1’s signature was missing from file. During the investigation, text messages between R1 and the Licensee were obtained, asking for cash advances. LPA obtained text messages between R1 and the Licensee, asking for cash advances. R1’s Admissions Agreement stated rent is due by the 27 th of the month. A screenshot of R1’s cell phone on April 28, 2025, states the Licensee provided the 1 st Payment to a loan; taken from the resident. Prior to June 4, 2025, Licensee texted R1 for an advance for the month stating Licensee needed $2,000 for a referral fee for another resident. A screenshot on Wednesday, June 25, 2025, shows R1 wired $4,500 to Licensee’s bank account. Thus, R1 paid $6,500 for rent on June 2025 ($2000 + $4,500) before the 27 th of June. Another text screenshot, on July 7, 2025, requests another advance for an undisclosed amount of money. The Licensee currently acts as the facility Administrator and has an administrator certificate which expires on April 26, 2027. Despite this, they did not ensure the facility was in accordance with regulations and established policy, program and budget resulting in insufficient funds maintained and the Licensee borrowing funds from R1.
