CONTINUED FROM LIC9099 Upon being notified, facility staff held a meeting with resident R1 who at this time requested the ability to temporarily dwell in a temporary unit for the duration of the notice. At this time, both residents R1 and R2 had expressed the fact that they no longer wished to share a unit. R1's request was declined on the basis of availability, however no other provisions were offered to provide resident R1 with safe and healthful accommodation for the time period during which he was still admitted at the facility. On October 27, 2022, resident R1 is stated to have removed his belongings from unit 332, at which time his access to the unit via key fob was revoked. At this time, resident could only access the common and dining areas of the facility even though the terms of the admission agreement were still in place until November 19, 2022. On October 30, 2022, it became apparent to facility staff that resident R1 was dwelling in the common areas of the facility. R1 is also stated to have attempted to move in with another resident on the following day. A meeting was held with resident R1 and administrator Robert Fiorentino during which resident R1 was asked to leave the premises and provided with a 3-night stay at a local hotel. Resident left the facility then and did not return. At no point in the process of terminating resident's R1 admission at the facility did the facility provide R1 with a written notice of termination. While facility staff state that R1 would have been unable to financially assume the responsibility of staying in a single unit, at the time of the resident's removal from the facility no delinquent fees or notice of late payments had been documented. Resident R1 was found to have no stable accommodation following the expiration of his paid stay at a hotel. A report was made to Adult Protective Services and County Social Services to relocate R1. On the basis of records reviewed and interviews conducted, the allegation that Facility conducted an unlawful eviction is deemed Substantiated, meaning that the preponderance of evidence standard has been met. One deficiency is cited today per Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of the report along with appeal rights were provided.
